My name is Lorrene Baum-Davis and I am from the beautiful Sierra Foothills in Placerville, California. One of my goals in life is to addict people to the Metal Clays and Polymer Clays: I am a "clay pusher".

Book on Setting Gemstones in Metal Clay

In August 2007, I published a booklet on setting gems into the metal clay. It has been very well accepted in the mc community. If you'd like to see a sample page, read some reviews and/or purchase one, please go to my home page or click here to the book page.

The Challenges of September.... yikes!



Well, it is that time again. Next month I get to be a featured artist at a great gallery in Placerville. Last month it celebrated it's 16th anniversary. That is pretty darn good. Galleries, in general, tend not to last very long.

So I have been madly making new jewelry. Tripley so, since not only do I need new work for this show, I need to get samples to a Portland, Oregon gallery and prepare for our 22nd annual Artist Studio Tour. The latter is the third and fourth weekend in September and Phil and I are hosting, in our back patio 'gallery', two other artists as well. A painter, a potter and me.

Whew!

In three days I get to go to a fabulous polymer clay retreat at Lake Tahoe in Nevada. Clayville-California's PolyPalooza. I am so stoked I can hardly stand it. I will, hopefully, get a lot of elements made for the September shows. I am giving three demos: how to create shaped tissue blades, unusual lace canes and the Able Cane Slicer(tm). I was honored to be asked, along with Carol Blackburn and Kathleen Dustin, to beta test this new polymer tool.... I am soooo addicted to it. I will post some samples later.

But, for now, I need to make the hand-outs, samples, pack the pc and the clothes.

Clothes?

Better start the washing machine.
