If caning be the food of love, clay on!

I've been claying since around 2012 and absolutely love it. Polymer clay is so versatile and I'm always trying to find new and fun ways to create designs. I find inspiration for my clay everywhere; in colours, shapes, patterns, nature and structures. Join me in my ramblings about my world with polymer clay.

I don't believe it...……..I'm blogging!!!!!

Welcome to my first ever blog. I've never read a blog, didn't understand them, yet I'm writing one!  
Wonders will never cease. Whoever said you couldn't teach old dogs new tricks underestimated the determination of a woman on a mission. 
So, what's this blog about? 
Basically it's about my world with clay. I love the stuff! Everywhere I go I look for inspiration for my designs, colour palettes, patterns, you name it, I see if it can be useful for clay designing. Even Gatwick airport saw me getting my phone out and excitedly snapping the walls in the ladies toilets.
It's a huge learning curve, this blogging. So, let's experiment. I buy all my clay and clay paraphernalia from Clayaround. It's run by Penny Vingoe who has that real old fashioned opinion that customer service is paramount. I have had the pleasure of visiting her at 'house of clay' as I call it, and all I can say is that I made a serious dent in my bank balance. 
Anyway, back to my steep learning curve, let's see if I can make a link to Clayaround. www.clayaround.com/
Right, that's enough for today, I'm going to see if this works, and if so, more ramblings, with a bit more clay stuff, will be posted tomorrow.
