Happy Birthday, Etsy!
Today Etsy is having it's 5th birthday and to celebrate that, they plan world wide craft party's. I have been planning this craftparty for a while now and I can't wait to get crafty with my Etsy friends. We'll play with paper porcelain clay. Paper porcelain clay is a fun material to work with. It is not as stubborn as regular porcelain clay and it is extremely white when fired.
I colored a few bits and bobs in color gradations to show you what the process and result could be.And this is what it looks when fired:Some colors really change a lot, it depends on what you use for coloring. I used stains, pigments and oxides. These are just examples and I have no clue what my crafty friends will make but I will definately show the result before and after firing. I'm curious myself...
Now excuse me, I think I hear my first guests arriving... happy day everyone! :)

Prepping a party - part 1

On June 18th, Etsy is having it's 5th birthday and to celebrate that, they plan world wide craft party's. I'm throwing one in my studio that day. Unfortunately my studio only has room for 8 people so it's going to be a small but fun party. It is a potluck style party so everyone is bringing something and most importantly themselves. We'll be claying, eating and chatting from 10AM till 5PM but not neccesarily in that order. I provide clay and other materials for the day. I'll be posting a few pics of the preparations over the next few days but won't tell yet what we'll be doing until the 18th of June...
Wanna see more? Take a peek next monday! :)

There are also 3 winners of the pimp pack!
