Another Challenge -- Yellow

I'm in another challenge this week and this one is with the Polymer Clay Smooshers of Art Fire.  Our theme for this month is yellow and there are some really good entries in this challenge.  Yellow can be a difficult color to work with at times and especially in polymer clay as it is almost like working with white.  So hurry over to their blog (you can click on the avatar above) and vote -- you have until Sunday evening before the poll is closed.

Art Fire Artisan Jeweler Guild

If you've visited our Art Fire Studio lately you will have noticed some changes.  They have upgraded the whole site with lots of added features and improvements.

I recently became a member of another guild since selling on Art Fire and that is the Artisan Jeweler Guild.  In order to join, one has to have an active Art Fire Studio with at least 40% of that containing artisan jewelry.  The guilds' definition of artisan jewelry is that it is made from mostly raw materials.  There are some very talented people in the group and it is nice to be able to share ideas and support each other in our craft.

Each month our guild has a challenge of some kind and for May the theme is Cinco de Mayo.  Here are some photos of the entries and you can go to the Artisan Jeweler blog and vote on your favorite piece.  The pole closes Sunday night.
