miss me?

Do you miss my usual posting frenzy? With sessions running from 8:30 am until 9:00 pm I’m a bit out of touch with my constant companion (my keyboard) and we still haven’t figured out how to access the internet from the convention center – hopefully someone will have an answer about that today.

I wish you were all here – this is history in the making. The National Polymer Clay Guild deserves a global standing ovation for a bold move in a new direction – they’ve done it with panache. The well-attended event is wonderful, warm, educational and filled with the sense of community building and sharing that has been crucial to the rapid growth of the medium. Humbling. Moving. Exciting.

I’m still looking for ways to keep you posted while I’m here. In the meantime, enjoy this necklace by Bettina Welker, who came all the way from Germany to attend the conference. She was wearing her Progress and Possibilities entry when I was chatting with her on Thursday and I was mesmerized. The colorful, soft, flexible strands joined by a magnetic closure were a lovely, understated accent to the even more lovely Bettina!
