My name cards- as I promissed...

Time runs so fast, and now I am getting better managing it...
I used to be late almost always (not including air flights...)
I used to get lots of adrenalin from being in the situation of time-stress...

On the past 2 months I do my best to improve my time managing by using my
Palm as an alarm clock to all my activities.

It is a very interesting process to me, to study my abilities...
*****************************

I wanted to make unique name card, to give it away and to ensure that the person who get it will keep it!...
so I decided to make them one of a kind each...

I took it as an opportunity to use old cans which I put into one big flourish cane,
and I did not reduce it to a very small diameter.

Make a surface- 3 or 4 on the pasta-machine, cut thine slices of the cane and put it on the surface

I did the same with 2 jelly role canes with gold leaf:

To make the surface very thin I use making paper on to of it and then role.
This way the thin surface does not stick to the roller...

I baked it only for 20 min because it is very thin.

I know,I know, I have to be a better blogger...

My dear on-line friend pcbysusan helped me to come back to myself...(and all of you will enjoy her art, I bet!)
I have been so buzy these days,
never like this in my life!!

As if I have changed the hard disc in my head...
Changing is the key word of this time for me, with all the difficulties and joyment of growth...

Purple for you!...

I have been busy for the last 2 weeks although I had
some time to do somethings to calm my polymer clay fever...

I start sharing some cosmic knowledge about colors.

I use them in my art as well as when I use the Su-jok therapy.

Let us start with purple, I use it a lot lately,
and after knowing more about it- you will be able to guess my state of mind...





Purple combines the stability of blue and the energy of red. Purple is associated with royalty. It symbolizes power, nobility, luxury, and ambition. It conveys wealth and extravagance. Purple is associated with wisdom, dignity, independence, creativity, mystery, and magic.

You can use bright purple when promoting children's products.

The Feng Shui is saying:

In your feng shui color applications, Color Purple should be used with moderation. It is a very strong, high vibration color, the color of connection to the spiritual realms (7th chakra.)

Feng shui-wise, it is not recommended as a wall color. Many feng shui masters believe that color Purple on the wall (or an overwhelming amount of it in any feng shui decor applications) may trigger blood disease. True or not, Purple is a very high vibration color and the feng shui advice is to use it sparingly.

The only feng shui spaces purple color can be used freely are a healing room or a meditation space.

Violet is the color associated with the Crown Chakra.
This chakra is the main co-oridination center of the body
and ensures you are connected to universal sources of energy.

Purple gemstons-Amethyst , Fluorite , Sugilite , Lepidolite , Charoite.

Have a Purple day!!

The unique day- 07.07.07

By the Kabbala this day has the energy for healing,
for good health for the whole year.


I cured myself by going with my son to the old city of Akko (Acre),
in the north part of Israel, near the sea.

The weather was hot and humid but for me going to a market of an old city
is always a celebration!

Polymer clay scrap "retro" project

I have just bought a clay-gun after long time I wanted it...
Here is my first use of it, shared with you.

Start with making groups by colors and put them together.



Then make balls out of it without even trying to mix the colors.(the easy way...)





Roll them each to a cane shape and put them side by side...a colorful snake!!




Put the snake in the clay gun and start to "inject" it.

A smooth and long snake will come out of the gun!




After having the hole snake out- start cut it to ~ 2.0" long pieces

and put them on a line .




Then start put them as you like...


and start to Reduce with the side palm of your hands to prevent scrap...

(This is my friend Tami Shvat's system)


Cut the reduced can to half (this is my favorite part! the surprise!...)

and enjoy the results!


Wow!!
finished!!
