Back From Fandango With Lots Of Footage & New Friends

Kira and I met up in St. Augustine Beach this past Friday the 13th for the Orlando Clay Fandango. I am first making a point of the fact that we met on Friday the 13th because I had a weird Friday the 13th experience and I am convinced of it. lol First let me start off by telling you how much fun the weekend was. There was lots of laughs and we got to meet lots of new and old friends. Kira and I had interviewed Lynn Ann Schwarzenberg and Tommie Howell at our very first CHA show we attended and we were talking with Tommie and he said we were on episode 4 or 5 and now we are on Episode #98, wow have times flew by.lol It was great to get to see them again. We also got to see Christi Freisen and filmed a demo of her doing a Steam Punk Bunny, Christi is a riot she is so fun and the stories she makes up as she goes along leave you in stitches.

We also got to meet Penni Jo Couch and she did a great demo on using oil pencils to do portraits on polymer clay that you will see on Polymer Clay TV. What a multi talented lady, it was great getting to know her. Dan Cormier and Tracy Holmes were there teaching and brought their son along on the trip. While Tracy taught on Sunday Dan and their son went off to the an Alligator park, Tracy joked that she hoped they both made it back.lol Dan had out a bunch of variations you can get using his technique and peeler and boy were they cool.

There was an auction, a brown bag swap, Bottles of Hope awards, a hat contest and so much more. It was a weekend jammed pack with fun and if you have the chance to attend next year I highly recommend it. A special thanks to the Orlando Area Polymer Clay Guild for having us.

Now to my Friday the 13th story. It was around 9 or 10 PM and I went down to the vending machine to get munchies for Kira and I with my last $2.00 in cash. I decided to get us each a honey bun and I pushed number 36 on the machine and my honey bun shot up into the back of a shelf on the darn machine and hung there taunting me the entire weekend.lol Every time we went to the room we had to pass this machine and there it sat staring me in the face.lol Only on Friday the 13th could that happen to me. Needless to say we shared the one I got and didn’t need the one that got stuck on that darn shelf.lol Make sure to come back Friday for Polymer Clay Podcast to hear all our adventures and misadventures of this fun weekend.

Here are a couple pics I got, Kira was the photographer this weekend and she will be posting some photos as well. Hope to see you there next year!
