My journey, how it began and where it goes…

Ok…so I can’t REALLY tell you where it goes…but I have a plan…well…kinda…let me back up a bit…All this blogging business started because I am crafty! I was (and still am) making miniature Polymer clay sculptures for personal use, namely the doll houses and room boxes we create (we being my mother and I) So I start out with plates, veggies, and bread…I’ll show you pictures but you have to be nice!!! All these are my beginnings…and keep in mind TINY, Every thing in in 1 inch doll house scale so take for instance the bread the longest one was only like 3/4″ long!

it then progresses to flowers and little dogs (sorry don’t have a picture on me of the doggies) The Flowers were about 1/4″ wide…so again tiny!

then on to people…and well you know me…I’m quirky so it then went to dragons, fairies and such!

Well…I put my stuff out there for opinions, remember at that point I was new to the Polymer clay sculpting thing…and people wanted to BUY them!!! WOW! Really…sooo…I sold my first little girl…entitled Abigail’s Antics :) And my little dragon, Cordial Colian (not 100% sure on the little dragon’s name..it is written down at home..) Well I figure it might be cool to actually make some stuff and sell it heck if nothing else I can fund my new hobby this way :) So I keep creating…have another dragon at home in the works…He is ALOT more detailed and bigger…picture to come later if you really wanna see it…My poor little “grandpa” replica is still not done but here the beginning pictures of him…( His head is only 1 inch tall…tiny again :)) The first picture is the real him in a photograph that I was using as reference as he has passed away… then my little creation…

As you can tell I’ve gotten more into the realistic side of sculpting the more I do…well…Selling all that stuff was what made me start this darn blog…Since then…I’ve slacked off and haven’t done much on the sculpting side (life hit and it just wasn’t getting done!)….Then of course most of you reading this can guess what hit next…yep…I’ve become a DSA, better known as a digi scrap addict!! So the blog morphed into my scrap world…And my plans…It will continue to be a scrap world with a bit of my hectic life thrown in…and you never know…every once in a while you might catch a glimpse of a FINISH new sculpture!

Now…for a sneek peak at what I have in store for you all TOMORROW!!! The Backstage Pass Challenge WILL BEGIN!!! Ok…so what on earth am I talking about…here is the little tag line for it!

*Where it all begins! Take our monthly challenges to improve your photography!*

Give ya hint…yep….more photography!! Each month I will post a technique or camera function that we will play with…you know…things like those manual setting (the ones I know I tend to avoid) on your camera…or a technique to use to create (yes I said CREATE, these will become more than just your everyday snapshots!) cool scrappable pictures!! And by the end of the month you will have learned something new, or for some of you brushed up on something, to do with your camera and photography and yep you guessed it…created a layout using your newest most awesomest (yes that is my creative use of the English language once again) picture. Soooo…if you are interested…and you know you are!!! Just head over here (the first one will be up sometime late tonight) and play with us!!!

And just incase you missed that….

BACKSTAGE PASS!!!! STARTING TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!! At The Diggi Shoppe!!!!!
