 When I am not making Faerie Bears, I am playing with Powertex. It is so good to be back down in the studio creating. Let me introduce "Rough Red", "Goldiwho?" and "I've got the blues". Other designs will be available and they can be done in any colour combination. Finished off with Powercotton for feathers and StoneArt air-dry clay for the wings and beak. These crazy birds will be available as a half day workshop and also available on a Monday night, at the Churchill studio. Larger birds can be made on request, up to 1 metre tall. Once cured they will be available to go out in your garden on the stand or can be made to hang in a tree or under a pergola. I have a couple under construction that will be in full flight.

 How fabulous to see Powertex Australia at so many Stiches and Craft Shows and Quilt and Craft Fairs throughout Australia and New Zealand next year.
I am so excited about being at both major shows next year with Ashley, the Importer/Owner of Powertex Australia in Melbourne next year. The Quilt and Craft Fair will be on from Thursday, 26th to Sunday, 29th of June and the Stiches and Craft Show is at Caulfield Race Course from Thursday, 23rd to Sunday, 26th of October. 2014 will be a great Powertex year!!  I have had a lovely weekend, babysitting our little grand-daughter and finally putting up a Christmas tree. All the usual decorations have been up since the 1st of December, but had decided not to bother with a tree, for the first time EVER, as we were going away. Well, it finally got the better of me and we bought one on Saturday, and then had a lovely time with our grand-daughter, decorating it. The photos are of a couple Santas that I have done in polymer clay years ago, before Powertex took over in my life!! Although, I have just recently bought some more clay to have a play with over the Christmas break I will be offering two day polymer clay workshops next year, only from the Churchill studio, Hope to have new dates up on the website this weekend, for general Powertex workshops, polymer clay 2 day workshops, felted teddies, Certified Powertex Trainer Course and market/exhibition information. 
 I am starting to pack and get organised for what will be a busy weekend.
On Saturday, the Faeries will be at the "End of the Line" Festival in Belgrave. This should be the most amazing event. So many mazing performances, art displays and activities and of course a makers market, that I will be at. End of the Line Website and Program Then on Sunday, I will be at the fabulous Yarra Glen market, with Craft Markets Australia. A great opportunity to finish off your Christmas shopping in the beautiful Yarra Valley. Link here to the Craft Markets Australia site for more information  This fantastic example of the use of PowerPrint has been completed by Morwell artist, Val Prokopiv. It has been entered into the Tyers Arts Festival, where I am sure she will do really well with it. Great work!!
Val is one of our Certified Powertex Trainers.  Over the last few days I have been making a few different things for the market at Hanging Rock on Sunday. Some candle holders, Yin and Yang inspired sculptures, Buddha candle holders and some new wall art. A nice change!! I will have to take photos of the other things on Sunday, as they are already packed into the van. For anyone after a great day on Sunday, the Hanging Rock Market should be fabulous. Hope the rain stays away!! Lots of stall holders and of course, Hanging Rock as the most spectacular backdrop for this market. For more information, link to the Craft Markets Australia page here.    I have just had another great weekend training, as Bev Fothergill, from Craigieburn, completed Level Three and Four of the Certified Powertex Trainer Course. Bev's work is just beautiful. Her painting skills with her PowerPrint Level 4 piece are fabulous!! Knowing that I had a bag of dried flowers "somewhere under a spare bed", discovered all kinds of goodies in a bag that I had forgotten about,, to help Bev finish of the foreground on her PowerPrint - expect lots of work with dried flowers over the coming weeks!! Next weekend I will be at the fabulous Hanging Rock market, with Craft Markets Australia. Haven't done this one before, and am looking forward to the weekend away as well. Congratulations Bev!! Just wanted to share what a fabulous weekend I have had in Melbourne, training our latest four Certified Powertex Trainers in Victoria. Welcome to Beverley Fothergill from Craigieburn, Joy Tedjosiswoyo from Thomastown, Marg McHardy from Heathmont and Jan Drougas from Beaumaris. It was also a great chance to catch up with our youngest daughter and her husband who live in Melbourne. Ken got to do some shopping and we had a lovely dinner on Saturday night at a great Indian restaurant!! I look forward to more training this coming weekend with a few of the girls again, as they complete Level Three and Four!! 
Jan, Joy, Marg and Bev, with me at the back, showcasing their Level 2 pieces.
