I loved this story about a mysterious artist who left ten marvellously intricate paper sculptures in support of Scotland’s libraries.
Even after all the publicity, the artist chose to remain anonymous.
Here’s another idea if you’re interested in using chalks on clay. Dana from Solafar had an interesting blog post on weathering with pastels. He applies powdered pastels to baked clay, then seals it for a very nice effect.
I’ve used the hard chalk pastels that [...]
Is it octopus, octopuses, or octopi? Whatever the proper plural (the Oxford dictionary suggests octopodes as correct), the intelligence they’ve displayed is fascinating. It makes you wonder whether they would consider that we are intelligent from the evidence they’ve seen.

Sexism isn’t normally something I’d post about, but this post really caught me. It seems that James of the popular writing blog Men with Pens, is actually a woman.
Reading her story makes me admire her guts, but the fact that she disguised her gender because she made twice as much [...]
I thought this was interesting… Novelist Holly Lisle is writing the first draft of a story, and emailing it out to her fans. She’s also collaborating with her daughter, Rebecca Galardo, who is creating jewelry and artifacts to go along with the story.

Donna Henricks, who will teach a wicker furniture workshop, has [...]
I came across this article on an exhibition of two artists who use polymer clay
Check out the exhibit website where you can see a couple images of the work – looks rather interesting if a little off the wall

Big meets small in “Not to Scale,” [...]
Studio by Sculpey has its own website if you want to check it out. It looks like most of the information is Coming Soon though.
I came across a nice article featuring kaleidoscopes in New Zealand.
Kerikeri couple Andrew and Robyn Leary have been in the business for 27 years and sold more than 200,000 kaleidoscopes.

Mrs Leary, an industrial chemist and leadlight artist at the time, asked her husband, a joiner, to make [...]
