Central Oklahoma Polymer Clay Guild met August 11, 2017. We had 16 members in attendance and no visitors.
Show and Tell
Wendi showed her Christmas boxes with miniature scenes, our project for today. Elizabeth had delightful dragons, Connie blew us away with her Succulent garden and metal cross; Almond’s doll was stunning and very life like, Tom had wonderful bottles of hope and Penni Jo had some molds.
Program
Our program this month was Christmas Boxes with miniature Christmas scenes by Wendi. She began her lesson right after the Show and Tell. We had a choice of a Santa/Tree, etc. scene or a Nativity scene. She described the simple forms that, when very small could be combined to create a plethora of tiny people, trees and animals. Thank you Wendi for a fab meeting.
