Finally!
I can share the creations I made for the “Rock” swap with the wonderful clayer’s of Australia! They were very generous to allow me to join in and share some American art with them. I thought about what I would make for a few weeks and then bounced my idea off a Oz friend. I decided that most folks would be doing jewelry (I was right) and I wanted to do something totally different. Being that I love making canes of Native American inspired art I decided to make a wall hanging. Since it needed to be of the “rock/stone” theme I decided on three different types of stone: Turquoise, Sandstone, and Slate.
with that decision made I started the production line. I needed to make 10 of the “same” thing. Well as same as one can make hand crafted art. Nine were for swapping and the tenth was going on display in a gallery/shop in Australia. Not only display, but there would be a competition/judging of all the items. The winner gets some wonderful Christie Freisen items. I am amazed that I actually remembered to take pictures of the items before I sent them to Oz. Here they are
The swapmeister posted pictures on Flickr of all the swapee’s images after she sent the packages on their way. Oh wow, they ahve created some amazing pieces. I am so looking forward to getting my package……most likely a couple weeks after everyone else!! Patience is a virtue eh?
Have a wonderful clayful week!
