Dragonsglass

And you ask yourself what does this have to do with polymer clay? Well, after a year of construction our new Torah Learning Center at Temple Beth El if finally being dedicated today at 2:00pm PT. A week before my wrist surgery Rabbi asked me to create the door numbers and letters, and to make base mezuzot for the kids to decorate. These mezuzot will be placed on the frames of each classroom door. I only have pictures of 9 of them, which have non-kosher scrolls. We also have 5 that have kosher scrolls inside them. I think the kids did an amazing job decorating them!

Rabbi didn’t want anything fancy for the door letters and numbers, just simple with a few decorations. So the classroom numbers are faux wood with a few Magan David and Hebrew letters on them.

And finally, the new office needed something besides a piece of paper taped to the door, so I created faux green/gold wood letters with a simple outline. The final letter has a Magan David on it and plant.

Now that this project is done, and the wrist is almost all healed, I can get to some other projects that have been percolating in the back of my mind. Along with making more eyepod pen holders, I am hoping to try out some new ideas that include the use of the softglass cording in a “not normal” way. Yep…thats all the hint you are going to get. I am so mean that way aren’t I? BTW…the eyepod pen holders should be up in the Dragonsglass store by Monday afternoon. Just a heads up…there will be a limited stock so if you want one for a holiday present…..run fast to the store when it is announced. If you are thinking of buying one and want a specific color scheme, post here and it might appear in the store

thank you for reading, looking, and possibly shopping!

Hey…I figured that was a catchy title. It made you look didn’t it? Well, after playing with pods at Sandy Camp (thank you Donna Kato for sharing this technique with us!) I thought they would make some great hannukiots so I made a couple. One serious and one….well hilarious. I am going to bet you will be able to figure out which one is which

Once I had those finished I went back to making my *eye*pods. Here are a couple for you to look at

And they will look at you. They make great computer sitters. Chances are the *eye*pods will be showing up in the Dragonsglass store soon.

Have a great evening.
