Polymer Clay Events You Would Like Us To Cover & Share & Come Subscribe To The Shows

Since Kira and I are meeting up in Orlando this weekend to attend and cover the Bead & Art Glass Festival & The Memories Expo, it got me started thinking of what events you would most like us to cover for Polymer Clay Podcast & Polymer Clay TV. There are so many events going on and we want to know which ones you would like us to attend and share with our audience. If you have a polymer clay event you would like us to attend and cover or something that would be relevant then we want to hear from you. Send us an e-mail at polymerclaypodcast@yahoo.com Let us know about your event and what is planned and we just might cover it on the show. Unfortunately many people can’t go to all the events every year so why not have us bring the event to you. When people ask me what exactly is Polymer Clay Productions, it is a hard question to answer, since Polymer Clay Productions is a lot of things. Polymer Clay Podcast is an online radio show and Polymer Clay TV is an online TV or television show. One of the big differences is that you can subscribe to our content so that when you want to listen or watch a new show it will automatically be downloaded for you. There is no charge for subscribing to Polymer Clay Podcast & Polymer Clay TV and you can stay subscribed forever and every Friday you will automatically get our new show. How cool is that! Some of you have noticed the new button at the top right of our site where you can now contact us if we are online and we can have a live chat or you can leave us a message if we are not online. Thanks for all the messages! We love hearing from you and answering your questions so don’t hesitate to give it a try, it is very easy.
We have started to receive some entries for the Call For Creativity and they are all so beautiful, check them out in our forum and post your entry there as well. The deadline to enter this month is November 28th. We look forward to seeing your entries and you just might win a prize! Last month we had 3 entries and all of them were from outside the USA. One was from Australia, one was from Germany and one was from Israel so it was so nice to see what other artists are doing around the world and share creative endeavors. Thanks for entering!
Yesterday I mentioned a polymer clay artist I met at an art show I attended over the weekend and I wanted to share a link to his website so you can check out his work. There aren’t many photos of Wiwat’s work on his site but you can get an idea of how unique his work is and if you are in any of the areas he is doing a show you can check him out in person.
This year there is a big get together of artists that are promoting buying handmade and I hope you will consider that this year when doing your holiday shopping. Anyone can go to Walmart and pick up a gift for someone that millions of other people might have but if you buy something handmade you are buying something unique that probably no one else has. You can find so many unique handmade things that artists and crafters have spent time creating for someone to enjoy and cherish. I for one, put lots of love into everything I create and I also believe a piece of my soul goes into all my work. I use only the best supplies and try to make functional items so everyone can enjoy them in their daily life, like a pair of my salt & pepper shakers. Some of the companies who mass produce things, you never know what is in the products and if it might be harmful to you or a child. I keep hearing about recalls, it seems almost weekly. When you buy handmade from an artist or crafter, you usually know what you are getting and can feel safe about giving something that is made for a child to a child and know it won’t harm them. I think that it is nice to know where the things you purchase come from and to know that the person who made it took care and research to bring you the best quality they could. It just makes sense to me. I will probably be making a lot of my gifts this year and I encourage you to do so too. Go back and check out our past shows, we have lots of ideas that will make great gifts. If you don’t have the time to make gifts this year, than I hope you will Buy Handmade!
