Library Exhibit

Challenge
This month's challenge was to combine non-clay items with polymer clay. Pictures of items brought are posted here.

Grovewood Report
At this year's Grovewood Show, there were more people and more transactions. However, the transactions were for smaller ticket items. Lots of loose beads sold.

Tips
Numerous "great" tips were shared and will be added to the growing collection.

Demonstration (Work along)
Marilyn's demo on the rainbow leaf canes was wonderful. A photo of her completed necklace and setup will be posted to the website.

September Challenge:
Make something other than a necklace with the leaf cane.

...oh and don't forget to make a bead for the bead jar!
