Container Challenge Results - May 2010

May 2010's Saturday Play Day meeting was the deadline for the Kansas City Polymer Clay Guild's "Container" challenge. Creative containers could be vessels for a wide range of items - from tiny treasures to adult beverages. For more of these photos, check this link to an online photo album.

Patti Welch's inro box is about 4" tall when closed. She also wore great lavendar & stamped metal earrings that exactly matched her outfit.

Linda Lee Stewart's box with polymer lid.

Carol Hooper opted to decorate wine glasses with roses and vines.

Anne Rowe created a hanging closet sachet holder, making a round, hinged box with eyelet-lined scent holes. She used the lid of a garage-sale candle container as the baking form. Watch for her demo on this technique at our October meeting, Tuesday, October 12 at 6:30 p.m.

Deb Williams fabricated a tiny Egyption sarcophagus complete with mini mummies inside.

Beverly Potty crafted clay candle holders, festooned with Swarovski crystals, using cola cans as molds.

MariEtta Adams covered a small matchbox, then transformed it into a Asian-style pendant with matching earrings, using Barbara McGuire image transfers.

Donna Hess sent in her covered vase container, using some great sliced leaf canes and rolled snakes to adorn the green-covered tall vase.

Kim Keane covered a round tin with gold clay using a dark acrylic antiquing to highlight the deep texture of the clay. Note her use of her initial cane which she uses to identify all her pieces.

Michele Wineland created a  Pillow Puff Potion Pot, using foils and a technique we want her to share with us in a demo - using air to hold the clay in a puffy shape while baking!

Robin Young celebrates the 50th anniversary of the universal Peace symbol with her guitar purse! A guitar shaped tin is covered with canes, hinged and closure of leather and lined with spiral fabric that matches the spiral canes! The large PEACE sign attaches to the snap closure.

Great job, ladies! What a variety of sizes, shapes, techniques and ideas. Thanks for sharing. For more of these photos, check this link to an online photo album.

The rest of the afternoon was spent with Deb Williams' bird cane demo.
