Bird a Month 6/12 - Twit Twoo

Twit Twoo!! My cute little solid silver owl sculpture is my Bird a Month for June. I am very excited about this one as my step by step tutorial for making him is the the newest issue of Metal Clay Artist Magazine which is just coming out. It is the third anniversary edition of MCAM Vol 3 Issue 3 and it includes some wonderful projects including Lesley Messam and Gordon Uyehara, and a great article about Wanaree Tanner who is producing some fantastic work at the moment! 

Even better - I also have a feature piece in it about undertaking challenges!! If you do not already subscribe you can buy an issue via the website and here in the UK it will be available in W H Smith soon :) 

Above is another piece I have made for the Guild of Enamellers exhibition in Whitby in July - I have called him Tropical Tree Frog :)

I just seem to keep enamelling rainbows at the moment and the set below, Swirling Rainbows, are also for the exhibition.

Tomorrow I shall be at the Riverdell Country Fair at Burwash in East Sussex. It should be a great day.

Maybe I will see you there?

Twice a Cover Girl!!

ONCE!! - The latest issue of the Art Clay Society Quarterly Newsletter is out and I am on the cover!! (well actually one of my pieces is). If you belong to the Art Clay World UK Guild then you are automatically a member of ACS and can log in and download the newsletters which are full of great articles.

If you are not a member yet you can see a sample of this newsletter here.

TWICE!!! If that was not exciting enough I had fantastic news that I am also on the cover of the next Metal Clay Artist Magazine!!!!! (ok that is my work again not actually me!)

Here is a sneak preview of how the cover will look when it is published ...

Metal Clay Artist Magazine is the only international magazine dedicated to metal clay lovers. You can subscribe online or, even better news for us in the UK, from this next issue you can buy it in W H Smiths. If you are elsewhere in the world check the website as new outlets are being added all the while.

You might also like to start following the Metal Clay Artist Magazine blog. Here you can read a short interview with me!! I shall be adding blogs posts on there myself and if you have a look back you will find I have already done a few.

In the next few days I shall hit the big 50 and never imagined at my age I would be a cover girl twice!!

 Good job it is only my work and not photos of me ;-)
