A new video with a small tip but important, and new pendants

Sometimes you should try and get out of your comfort zone... Well, maybe more often then sometimes...

This is how you do it: When you start working, and you find yourself drown to your usual techniques, size and shapes...

Turn the other way around:

If you make something small -   make it bigger.

If your hands draw a circle - draw a square instead!

When your head tells you to keep the colors toned down, make it a little bit more vivid and make it work...
And when you shop for supplies online, go for whatever strikes you as "Kitsch" or "Not what I'm looking for" at the first glance.

Those things are exactly what's on my desk right now:

A large square that owns the atmosphere, dangling from a kitschy necklace (Plastic is as kitsch as you can get...) with large links

                   They are all combination of my transfer teqnique and my cosmic ceramic teqnique. 

The chain itself is rather short (although this chain "required" length... because of it's size), so the medallion will take place on a lovely knit sweater or a witnrey tunic.

(please forgive photo quality, which dropped because of cloudy sky on the day of the photoshoot)

In the middle of the procces, on my surface working 

You mustn't throw away leftovers (it is known), instead: create pendants and brooches ,with surprising combinations

Using an exacto knife? Do you know how to change the blade carefully and without getting wounded or hurting yourself?
Click on the video down below, and watch how simple it is to do it safely and without wounding yourself.

short visit in the north.

I visited the day before yesterday in Safed.
Weather conditions did not allow me to get good pictures, it was cold, rainy . But the special charm of Safed, only strengthened in the  cold weather ...

 

                                                     An alley in the old town, in the rain

 On the horizon, it's not smoke, these are  clouds

 

 

Within the old town, and many art galleries,I found a talented artist,  Gonen Halevi  uses, curly decoration,colors and  textures, words and sentences, all of them together  in a wonderful harmony

              Note the special small jar, for the water

On the way back home, we  visited in Haifa-  Wadi NisNas. Here in Israel, only in a few cities, you can see and enjoy the holiday chrisamsa atmosphere, and it was so exciting.

 

 



I'm not a professional photographer, and it was  very hard  to take pictureswith all the  lights around

Lovely, beautiful and international Haifa

But only in I this year, I managed not only to plan and dream about my chanukiah , and I finally  was able to create my home chanukiah!

I used  my  "Cosmic Ceramic"  technique.

Make Trendy Letters, and signs with "Antique Chic"- a New Tutorial!

 

And yet, I'm excited...

Still we are in a complicated reality, in the world's weirdest country, but I've found something to be excited about, something to love: a new tutorial

 

Why did it took so long this time? The answer is unknown :) It's never easy to find an idea, to develop it, to nerture it, to improve it, to make it accsiable and doable, to film, to edit, to write, to translate, to pass it on to Aviva (=a friend) for a deep and serious proofreading, to hackle technical difficulties, to fix, to film again, to give up, to stop, to think about quitting... To get back to business, to progress, to make an effort... Yes, this is what it's like to write a tutorial, at least for me. This time, I had to do all of this twice... 

Nevertheless, I don't give up, and a new tutorial was born!

What's in it?

Over 48 minutes  video+and instruction notebook (pdf) with literall explantion of all the stages=two fun, colorful, techniques that open unlimited possibilities 

Bonus: how to decorate your letters, with swirls and drawing in the kitchy and sweet "Shabby Chic" style,
+7 sign patterns (just print it and it's ready to use)

Diffuclty level: Basic. (and as always, I'm here for every question, request, or misunderstanding. Use mail to contact me.)

Enjoy!

Great 2 varnishes to your polymer clay neads and requirements, just perfect!

I haven't forgotten, I promised you  a post about the  beads city Jablonec nad Nisou in  Prague. The post is ready- in Hebtew, But not in English .

Why?

I have a deal with my daughter,she translates  for you,  every long  post,  from Hebrew to English.

   But 

My daughter is a soldier ( According to the Defense Service Law, the enlistment to the Israeli Defense Forces is mandatory for all Israeli citizens who have turned 18) and in the last month, she culdn't find a moment for the translet job. She is very busy because of the terrible  war with the "Hamas".

No, she is not  staying in the war zone, but  because of the war, she's  very busy or very tired....

Our mood is not so good.  I live near Tel Aviv, and we are suffering from the  missiles, less  then other areas) but still, nothing  is easy here....in our country

But meanwhile,  I will try to focus on those issues that  easier to understand :

 I have for you a great recommendation for two great varnishes that I discovered recently. 
I made a short video for you (+ great tip in the end of the video). Go and get them....

And more from my working table in the last days, an order for a customer, using my magic transfer paper and the Darwi varnish ( 2-3 layers )

 

Dont forget to share these 2 great varnishes!!!

Wish you  peace and  serenity, and see you in the next post.
