The online class you've been waiting for!


She's finally done it! Dawn is offering us the secret to making these cute Pocket fae! This onlone class will teach you polymer clay techniques in fully illustrated lessons.

"What Have They Got in Their Pocketses...?"
Dawn M Schiller will teach you to make this little Faerie dude. Class begins december 6, 2013.

Dawn recently visited a watch repair shop and happened upon a Chrono Seidh (pronounced "seed"), one of the Tribe of Odd Folk that used to live in the Forest, but have become fascinated with timepieces and mechanical things.

These tiny fae will dwell in any type of clockcase they can find, but are especially fond of pocketwatches. Chrono Seidh can be very helpful in watch repair, as they can repair the tiny works without need for tools....

Learn to sculpt your OWN Chrono Seidh, also known as Pocket Trolls, in this NEW class from Dawn M Schiller. Over 200 photos will take you step-by-step thru the process of creating your own little fae!.

Dawn is the author of “FaeMaker: Making Fantasy Characters in Polymer Clay”.

Available exclusively at Doll Street Dreamers!

AND it's on sale for two more days!

Do you know what canes are?

You might think of a walking stick when you think of canes, but if you are into polymer clay, you'll know canes are something else!

Canes are a way of creating patterns and designs in polymer clay. The idea is that you pile up the colors in a pattern, then stretch out the resulting pile into a cane, compressing it until it gets longer and thinner, melding the sections together. The cane can then be sliced and the pattern used repeatedly. The results are amazing.

 Look at these earrings by Marie Segal. Marie created these patterns by making canes and sliced them to reveal the design. Then the slices were used to construct the earrings.
 
Now take a look at this guy:

His clothing and feathers are made from patterned polymer. Cool, right? The bird was created by Dawn Schiller.

Here's a detail of the patterns. Dawn and Marie got together with this character and made a whole class out of it! One artists teaches you how to sculpt the head and legs, the other, how to make the patterned canes, which are used to finish Thomas T Bird!

You can learn these techniques by clicking REGISTER!

New classes

It's been a busy week for me. I've had no time to create for myself, I've been so busy with the creative people at Doll street! I've been adding new things to the pattern shop and new classes.


I won't be going to AFICC this year. These doll gatherings are a blast. I am sad to miss out on the fun. Still, Dawn Schiller is teaching there and debuting her Egg-Static class on Doll Street! Hooray! I'm honoured she chose to debut it on Doll Street. I will open the class to registration on Monday.


You know I love dragons. well, Judith prior sent me pictures of Ambrose and I had to have this class! This cloth dragon is needle sculpted and painted in unusual ways. Very hot! (Dragons can't be Cool, because they are so Hot!)

Are you taking any classes or attending any conference this spring?
