I'm on T.V. +The Update You Were All Waiting For+Polymer Hint

Like many have said before me-it was not simple :)) Even now, as I'm writing, my heart beats faster... It all started from a suprising phone call from the production of "Local Crafts" (An Israeli morning show). At first I hesitated about going, (???!!!) but fast enough it turned into exicitment.

 Not to long after that, the questions started-

What products should I bring? The variaty, as you well know is huge.

 What to wear? What about my hair? What kind of shoes should I wear and----Am I fat? ,Will I look fat?  Hhahahahaha

Oh, the questions went on without end.

On the great day I woke up and drove to" Kiryat Shmona"(small city on the north), with my husband (both a driver and an escort). I stopped for coffe in the beautiful Rosh Pina and arrived in time to the studio, ready and expecting, and yet calm.

The interview went by with a huge excietment from me-just a few minuts and oops, it was gone ... :) I'm not really sure what went down in there :) But there were me, a magnificent display of my work+ a huge hint about the next tutorial, which I am working on the last few months. 

After wednsday ,they will upload  the show on youtube, so  you can see it too.

Here are some of the products I took with me to the show: 

Brooches, in my technique of faux ceramic

'cosmicceramic"

And what is the update you were all waiting for?!

Yes, the transfer papers are back in stock (it is limted however, still it manged to overcome the mail strike and the holidays)

Buy them here!

For those of you who don't remember, here are the tuturials again where I demo how to easily work with the transfer papers.

workshopwith Jana Roberts Benzon

Last week I was honored to be part of two workshop taught by the amazing and talented american artist:  Jana roberts benzon

It is not Jana's first visit in Israel-she's been to the country 3 or 4 times (I can't remember exactly...) and I had the pleasure of taking part in all the workshop she made. (She was not the first to come to Isreal, for I had the pleasure to study with more talented wonderful artists and I am so happy to always participate, study, improove and grow..!) 

For me, a workshop is not only an opertunity to study, it's also a chance to meet other colleauges and have lots of smiles, jokes, exchanging intresting information and getting news... May we have many more!

Studying, taking pictures, concentrating but mostly enjoying our time!!!

Some didn't even catched a break.... :)))

A chance to see the new "Slicer" in action... A new succesful, useful tool...

Personally, I especially enjoyed the second workshop-the stone beads workshop. In my opinion the most memorable characteristic of this workshop was getting out of  the box: This original way of thought Jana has, which became her identifing mark. Now she's done it again...

In the next picture , those are Jana's special "stones beads". See? they don't have no begining and no end...

 

Those are mine. I stil have a lot to learn... My hand is still hesitant, without confidence. The first one on the upper right was done with Jana's incredible hands... Yes yes, it's the truth.. I still need some help when I'm studing something new and different!

I'll take this opertunity to say thank you to Yonat for having us in her wonderful studio, and of course another thank  to pinky, who brought Jana to Israel! and thank you Jana  !!!
