Late Happy new year!

Better late than never they say... (who are they?...)
Anyway I have been so busy lately at work (thank god)and hardly had the time and the inspiration to create anything..
For the last 3 days I got the worst cold, I did my best to work (no production no money...)and Saturday I decided to rest at home, my son is away with his father so I was free to do nothing...
BUT- the muse has it's own rules,I felt as if I am possessed, couldn't stop be active until I have finished making 9 rings!



Most of them are mica shift technique and I hardly used any colors. Is anything wrong with me?...LOL




I could not find a hand model so I used my hands, trying to stretch the wrinkles...(:

I want to thank my friend Susan who was so kind and tought me the basics..

More of these at my flickr gallery,
Hugs to you all and GREAT weekend!!

I have a student...

Her name is Ruty Shoham, She is an artist who is going to be 80 years old this year.
She used to work with clay,silver and more.






Unfotunatly Ruty is getting blind, she can hardly see and faith contacted us to creat together...
Allthough she cannot see the colors and the shapes Ruty is is very capable of describing the colors she wants to work with, so for me is is a great chance to put my ego aside ant to listen and give space...
Here are her first works with polymer clay:








This is all for now, hope you enjoyed and I promise to show you Ruty's work in the future.
Hugs and love to you all!!

I started making collages lately. and the trigger was a chair...
I found 2 of them near a garbege place and took it home.Well, not home but I put it out my house,it stood there for a while and then I started to play with it...

These are the resultes:






I did not leave the polymer clay, do not worry!
Instead- take a look at my new collages at my flckr gallery...

More to come soon!
Hugs to you all!!
