I know I'm a little slow on the uptake but I just recently discovered Christi Friezen's line of Swellegant products were designed with clay in mind...what? Who Knew? Well I didn't...so I got ahold of the Bestest Dealio of All...you guessed it, the whole shebang! After watching Christi's video on the tips & tricks of using Swellegant I was ready to go for it...& go for I did!...
My first piece & I'm in love! It touches a place deep inside me, that place where I hold my childhood dreams of being an archeologist...digging in the dirt to find precious little trinkets like this! Isn't he so cute! Created with Sculpey Souffle clay in Pumpkin, Brass metal coating, Darkening patina & a touch of the Green Gold Patina...LOVE IT!
Ok so enough experimenting, I was ready to jump in with both feet...so I did!
Looks like I've spent the last month on a dig, right? Oh I'm so in my element right now...like fish in water...lol. I've been having a blast with Swellegant, such a great product! After working with it for a while I can already tell it's going to be hard to go back to clay with out using Swellegant! Oh I know it can be done...but...why...lol!
Well once again, thanks so much for stopping by...Till Next Time!
I'm chomping at the bit to buy it too. But, have it on hold to wait and recoup from all the $'s I've spent getting into clay.

But, knowing me I'll be getting it before long.
