Woo-Hoo!! Way to go, Elise! (I knew her “when,” you know!! OK, I actually knew her sorta in the middle there, but hey! I’ll grab all the reflected glory I can!) ;^)

Yes!

Interesting juxtaposition of the beautiful symmetry and color of the necklaces and the rather loose and unrelated items of clothing.

Elise, I am so happy that it has finally come to fruition for you, Rachel, and those who have supported your efforts along the way. I wanted to confirm that we at Cabin Fever Clay Fest also feel strongly about what you have worked so hard to achieve and will follow through with our commitment. All the best…you deserve it.

You have have been an incredible crusader for the Polymer Clay Artists, and the medium in general. This is huge step in the history of polymer clay, and I thank you and all those who have participated in it’s arrival.

My check is in the mailbox now.

I am not surprised that Elise’s vision for the collection is coming to fruition. The pieces are exemplary and Elise and her team have worked for so long on this labor of love. Kudos to you all!!

Have any publishers expressed interest in putting together a catalog of all this work? I’d love to buy such a catalog, and I believe many Guild libraries would also want to acquire such a volume.

Kudos on all your hard work and devotion to this art that I love.

Comment on Leslie Blackford’s Distinctive Voice by Tony Aquino

Leslie’s work is a perfect example of art being much more than visual. It can touch you by entering the gateway of the eyes and stimulate your mind to a multiple fork in the road adventure. It makes you think. Rachel has the gift of describing her interpretation of the open direction that Leslie has laid out for us and has executed that with this excellent review.
I remember once admiring a painting by Pablo Picasso and a man and a woman were also looking at the painting. The man said ” Uh Mr. Picasso, I don’t think that eyeball belongs there”. I thought to myself that it belongs wherever he wants to put it. In Leslie’s piece “Modern Relics 101″ the red square tile belongs there because she wanted to put it there and for us to think about it. Cheers to the gift of eye opening art and cheers to the gift of recognizing it with an expressive portrayal.

Thank you for putting a sculptor in the archives. I did not know that artist and I find a deep connection with what she does.

I am a huge fan of Leslie’s work. You are right, finish is not the focus of her work. But there is such heart and soul. I have seen beautifully finished work that leaves me feeling uninspired and unconnected. With Leslie’s work there is something that pulls me in. The emotions and stories she expresses have a perhaps universal nature to them, but her way of expressing it is completely her own. She makes me think. Her evolution as an artist is one I definitely want to watch.
