Shimshoni Handmade Gallery

Меня часто спрашивают, где купить пластику и инструменты в Америке. Так что пишу тут отдельный пост;)

Finally I edited my old tutorial photos that I took more than a year ago. The photos were of very poor quality that's why I waited so long and almost deleted them. However GIMP helped a lot and now you can at least see something:)



Here - http://shim-shoni.livejournal.com/20708.html, in my old post, you can see my Chessboard vase with these tulips.

Look what I have found on our beaches this summer!
Set of small crab's shells and one huge!


And beautiful transparent green sea weeds!


Looking forward to use this patterns in some polymer clay creations!

Right after my ring tutorial was published in French polymer clay portal Parole De Pate French visitors to my blog outnumbered those from USA and Ukraine (Russia always stays on the first place:).
And now the same tutorial appeared in Spanish Polymer Clay Guild Newsletter (on the very last page of it, almost at the back cover:)) Thanks to Marivi Ricart (Boolingas on Flickr), the vice president of Spanish pc guild, who wrote the article and translated my tutorial.
If you are a member of A.P.E. and speak Spanish:) you can read this newsletter. It contains many interesting articles about polymer clay meetings, techniques, tutorials and a swap gallery. There is even an interview with Grant Diffendaffer who taught his master classes this year in Spain.
If you are not an APE member you can become one and subscribe to their newsletters, otherwise I will just show of a bit and quote what was wrote about me in Spanish;)
"Hos nos vamos hasta Connecticut, Estados Unidos, y contactamos con Elena Samsonova, una chica que crecio y estudio en Moscu, y hoy, desde Estados Unidos, modera un foro rusode arcilla polimerica, www.polymerclayfimo.livejournal.com. Podeis ver sus creaciones en http://shim-shoni.livejournal.com, hace unas murrinas muy particulares. Elena nos ha cedido un minitutorial pare que lo traduzcamos y lo publiquemos en nuesta Gaceta. En este tutorial nos muestra como montar un anillo de arcilla polimerica sobre una base de alambre. Es muy sencillo de hacer, y los resultados pueden ser espectaculares segun la murrina que elijais."

Под катом как обычно по-русски ( RUS )

Решила все-таки отдельно показать и рассказать, как я фотографирую.
Выглядит это безобразие у меня вот так


Посередине лайткуб, с двух строн лампы, по центру - штатив от фотоаппарата (фотоаппарат пока что у меня в руках;). Внутри фон и предмет. Чашка у куба обычно не стоит, она там случайно оказалась;)
