Dear Leah
what a lovely funny girl you are, you made me smile just reading this post, thankyou darling, and thankyou for leaving me such a lovely message. Sometimes its hard to leave art alone when its finished ~ I always think I'll just do this or that but I love your clayboard lady and I love the roses in the background. Hugs Jude xx

I’ve never heard of clayboard. That looks really cool. And those socks are too cute! What a great find.

hiya ruby! well, one of the ways to explore different mediums is to explore the blog world. i found out about fabric collage that way and i’d love to try it. other ways would be to look for art classes. i’ve taken workshops at colleges, from individuals in the area, and from local community adult education classes (usually not too expensive!) i took a class at the store paper source this summer with my best friend in alternative printmaking. it was just one night and it was so much fun!! the way i found out about clayboard was seeing it in an art supply catalogue (http://dickblick.com). i was curious about it for awhile and then decided to buy some to try it out. i’ve also done this with stamping, painting on glass, and calligraphy. if you see something interesting, get a few supplies and try it out! doing a search on the internet will also turn up huge amounts of info about almost any medium including message boards where people chat about their techniques and favorite materials. there’s so much to play with, it’s endless really! other things i’m excited about trying are soldering, precious metal clay, sewing, and screen printing. there’s much to choose from, so go exploring and play with what you find!
