I did not have time to post this before I left for the PCCMMRetreat and I was waiting for a picture of Alicia’s amazing piece. I keep hearing about it, I would love to see what she did with it.
I will post it when it comes, if it does.
Well anyway…
One of my favorite guilds NWPCG was having a retreat and I could not go :-(. These people are family and I try to go whenever I can. So I sent something (brooch bags) to all of them to play with in my absence. They so nicely played with them and made a fabulous challenge out of it and named it after me.

With challenges, some play and some don’t. Some people like to do that kind of stuff in the comfort of their own home and just hang out at retreats (I am pretty much the latter). I enjoy visiting with everyone and a lot of times when I have an agenda I get nothing done. I could miss wonderful opportunities to meet new people, miss opportunities to talk to old friends, miss a special moment, and then I beat myself up afterwards for not getting anything done, lol!
So I don’t plan anything and just hang out. Spontaneous play is best for me.
When I got back all of these wonderful photos I was delighted with the amount of pictures and how wonderful they all turned out.
They got 2 brooches and a bunch of metal stuff to add to their clay and this is what they all came up with. Same tools but different minds

I now feel wonderful and I feel like I was there in a very small way hanging out and visiting with my friends. Thank you so much for doing this, all of you, you have made my week. What a very kind thing to do.

This is a very active guild, NWPCG or Northwest Polymer Clay Guild. If you live in Seattle, WA. or close to it and you will be glad you checked them out. The camp is held in one of the most beautiful areas in Washington State (IMHO) and every meal you eat, you look out on a gorgeous mountain. And they have a resident comedian pirate.
