Face Canes with Barbara McGuire

Members of KCPCG and others recently spent a day with PC artist Barbara McGuire, learning to make her signature face canes.

 

Barbara gave pictures of faces to create patterns from. 

 

Everyone created face canes - these are unidentified and in various stages.

 

Challenge

Teri challenged us all to a new challenge - CONTAINERS. Make a box, bag, pod, purse, envelope, bowl or other container from polymer clay. Add other media or not as you wish. This challenge is due at the May meeting, which is Saturday, May 8.

March 2010 Meeting

Robin Young demonstrated how she makes her disc beads. (Note: She was inspired a chapter in Ronna Sarvas Weltman's new book Ancient Modern: Polymer Clay & Wire Jewelry) but she changed the process quite a bit to make it uniquely Robin...

She also brought a couple fish pendants made for her daughter's upcoming Spring Break Cruise - fish with purses!

Michele Winegarden shared a couple large pendants she made - one using a face cane from a Barbara McGuire face cane slice.

Michele also brought a fantastic winged face pendant using a faux cloisonne technique.

Kim Keane shared several (she never makes just one!) pendants and beads made using a layering technique involving silver leaf, inks, liquid clay and more. She will demo this technique later this year.
