Happy New Year!
Here's wishing y'all a safe and Happy New Year — see ya in 2013!!
So last Saturday, I attended the first session of the sculpting class taught by the uber-talented Simon Lee. He sat and sculpted this "sketch", as he called it, during the lecture.
My homework is to have a sketch done by next Saturday's session... 0_oOne’s studio is never complete without an assistant — and you can learn to make your own! I'll teach you to make your own Fetch oddfae, as featured in my new book, “FaeMaker: Making Fantasy Characters in Polymer Clay” (available for pre-order on Amazon — click over to faemaker.com and follow the link).
If you're gonna be in the San Diego area July 7&8, think about signing up for this two-day workshop! It'll be big fun! The class is limited to 10 students, and we have four places left. If you'd like more information or want to sign up: Contact Sue Roos, susanka48@cox(dot)net.I can't believe how fast time is passing...it's been more than a week since I updated, and there's a lot going on...!
I am making pocketwatch oddfae as fast as I can...here's the latest! Contact me if you want to be added to the queue. Filling out forms for San Diego Comic Con, that'll be here before ya know it! 0_o Many out-of-state visitors, in the past, right now, and in future! Love seeing old friends. Working on the White Queen from Through the Looking Glass, to be a companion piece for the Red Queen I made some years ago. ...and I've started sculpting masks again — they always go over big at Comic Con! Stay tuned...The weather's changing and it's time to make Greenmen again! You'll find this one in my Etsy shop. ...more to come!
Well, as I'm working on the latest needlefelted softie, which I'm calling an Oddball...the FedEx guy brings me six boxes! The "kids" from the book (faemaker.com) are starting to arrive home! It's almost like XMas, unpacking everyone...altho' some of 'em are pretty cranky about being stuffed in a box just to have their picture taken.
O, and Oddball is in my Etsy shop... =-)
Hey y'all! Visited WonderCon this weekend and refueled the creativity cells! There's nothing like interacting with other artists in person to get ya revved up again.
SO, I'm working on commissions AND updating my website (www.oddfae.com) to reflect the soon-to-available "FaeMaker: Making Fantasy Characters with Polymer Clay". And trying to make new stuff for my Etsy shop. And maybe sleeping on occasion...X-D
In the meantime, if you haven't seen Fetch on my Facebook page, he's my assistant in the book, reminding me of little bits o'knowledge I may have forgot to mention — and there's instructions to make your own Fetch!
Stay tuned...
I was on my way to the mailbox, and Dair Dulle (Oak Leaf) strolled out of the landscaping to say "Merry Meet!" He graciously allowed me a few snapshots before he went on his way.
You can see more pix of the newest oddfae in my Etsy shop...
Folks just love these li'l guys, so I thought I'd better post their story... =-)
I recently visited a watch repair shop and came upon a Chrono Seidh (pronounced "seed"), one of the Tribe of Other Folk that used to live in the Forest, but have become fascinated with timepieces and mechanical things.
These tiny fae will dwell in any type of clockcase they can find, but are especially fond of pocketwatches. Chrono Seidh can be very helpful in watch repair, as they can repair the tiny works without need for tools!
I finally get to attend Monsterpalooza this year — and even better, I'm signed up for Airbrush Asylum, an incredible class put on by Black Heart Enterprises. I can finally paint those full sculpts that have been hanging around "nekkid"!
It's official — I've signed on to teach at Clay Carnival in Las Vegas this year. If you're not busy in October, c'mon and play!

My class will be some kind of an oddfae face that can be worn, either a pin or a pendant. Stay tuned.
We've got our room for Comic Con 2012! We're back at the haunted Horton Grand Hotel again... =-)
Happy Monday, y'all!! I am finally getting back in the swing of sculpting, after concentrating on FaeMaker for the past year. I'm also working on a couple of new classes, to be announced soon, so stay tuned.
Today, I've got some new fae in my Etsy shop...a Finding Fae, a Shellfae, and a Podgorney.
Now, YOU go make something! And if it's chocolate, be sure to give me a call!
