maggie_rainbow_web250Lindly Haunani and I are happy to announce that our book, Polymer Clay Color Inspirations, is now available at your local bookstore and that Amazon is shipping them out to everyone who placed a pre-order.  Check out my big smile and the beautiful rainbow that appeared the same day the book was officially on the shelves.

Starting next Saturday, September 5th, I will be posting “Weekend Extras” to encourage you to go through each of the exercises in the book. We will start with tips for the very first exercise, “Testing Package Colors.” I hope you will join me and send your questions and comments as we work through each of the exercises together.

Look for the weekend extras every Saturday morning and random posts scattered here and there. Now that the book is done, I am looking forward to getting back to blogging on a regular basis!

Simmons Color Board

simmons_color_boardCarol Simmons, one of the original Color Explorers, displays her metallic clay color samples on a magnetic white board. What a great way to see all the color combination possibilities!

Carol labels her color samples and then glues magnets to  the back to make it easy for her students to pick colors for her new Jeweled Egg workshop.  If you ever get a chance to take Carol’s class, do it just for the fun of it!

A HUGE thank you to Carol for sharing her super idea. What a fantastic way to keep color exercises organized and easy to use!
