May Fish Challenge
It’s fishy fun for my guild, the Polymer Clay Artists Guild of Etsy, this month for the May Challenge.
On March 18, I had emergency surgery that put me out of commission for about 4 weeks. This little fishy is my first foray back into working with clay. It is about 2 inches long and is roughly based on techniques from Helen Breil’s Shapes book. You can see the evolution of the project in the images below. The first is a sea creature that I created last year after I first bought the book. The second image shows the fish sketch that led to the piece that I entered in the challenge.
Vote in the Fish Challenge: Voting is open May. 1 through 7 and everyone who votes is entered in a prize drawing so head over to http://www.pcagoe.com and choose your favorite three entries. There are some really clever takes on the theme. Many of the artists even let you see the behind the scenes of their process on their blogs.
