			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello everyone.  One of the guilds I joined recently, Polymer Clay Smooshers, has challenges each month, and even though I was a little late in the game when I joined, the deadline for it was the 4th of this month.  I had maybe about a week I think, to come up with something.   Luckily, I already had one item done, it had just been sitting around unphotographed and unloved. The other item, I came up with after making some similar pendants previously, and decided to morph the last one I was working on, to match the challenge theme given by the guild.</p>
<p>My first item, a Steampunk-ish polymer clay heart pendant:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&amp;op=listing&amp;product_id=1054090" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/31465_product_269585621_thumb_large.jpg" alt="Polymer Clay Steampunk Heart" width="350" height="262" /></a></p>
<p>Then, my newest creation, a pink &amp; white polymer clay swirly heart necklace on organza ribbon:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&amp;op=listing&amp;product_id=1054077" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/31465_product_78341443_thumb_large.jpg" alt="Polymer Clay pink and white swirly heart necklace" width="350" height="262" /></a></p>
<p>Both are heavily influenced by the work of <a href="http://www.cforiginals.net/" target="_blank">Christi Friesen</a>, if it isn&#8217;t obvious and you&#8217;re not familiar with that polymer clay artist &amp; author. <img onclick="grin(':smile:');" src="http://www.positivelycharming.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":smile:" /></p>
<p>Anyway, sometime today, if it&#8217;s not there already, the guild master will be posting the rest of the items from the other guild members who participated in February&#8217;s challenge, to the <a href="http://polymerclaysmooshers.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Polymer Clay Smooshers&#8217; guild blog</a>.  Go check them out, and then vote on what you&#8217;d like to see guild members take on for the next month&#8217;s challenge!</p>
<p>Take care!</p>
