i absolutely love everything but this one actually made me giggle all day:

I am a HUGE Iris O'Connor fan and have been stalking her since I fell in love with her night music aceo for the sunset theme.

Tash: you are so awesome for offering this little forum to exchange comments between the artists. I wonder if it would be easier to just put a post below the sweet treats--so that after you scroll through all the new designs you end with an opportunity to make a comment to another artist or ask a question; just a suggestion.

I want to know how the dolphin pendant was made.

Very inspiring and diverse collection. I love Backward Glances "A Multitude".

Hi everybody! Another fantastic week.

Iris, I would LOVE to hear more about your technique. Your mini painting is so lusciously textured and colored.

I agree! A Multitude was one of my favorites ths week too though I might be biased towards coral just now. ;)

About the Dolphin for Lorrie:
Hi Lorrie,
First, I make a polymer clay cane for his "skin". In this case I had one already left over from a previous custom order:

Next, I handsculpted a Dolphin...it starts with a large teardrop shape and you gradually pull out the nose and fins and just keep shaping. After it becomes a Dolphin, then you take slices off of the cane and start applying them to the Dolphin. I use a golf tee to smooth out the seams. Afterwards, it gets cured in the oven and then sanded (lots!) and polished.
