All HORIZONS! 2011 participants are invited to take part in the Polymer Clay Button Swap! (the sewing kind of buttons! with shank or button holes - your choice).
Make as many polymer clay buttons as you would like to trade. (We are anticipating up to 30 participants. Actual numbers will be posted soon.) They can all be the same or you can make each one different. Suggested size and shape of a poker chip (but as can be seen in the picture above, creativity took over the measurements!!!!).
Standard poker chips are about 1/8” thick (the thickest setting on your pasta machine) and about 1 ½” in diameter. Your chips can be stamped, molded, carved, painted, tinted with chalks, powders, or inks, or decorated with cane slices.
There are no rules at HORIZONS! 2011 so just use your imagination and have fun making them!
Be sure to sign the back of your buttons and bring them with you to swap at the Opening Reception. (for those who will not be at the opening but will be participating on Saturday and Sunday, we will save yours for you!!)
Looking forward to seeing you soon!!!!
Silent Auction Opportunity
ReplyDeleteHi everyone,
This year we have a really great opportunity to do some good in our community and get the word out about our guild and polymer clay.
At our last guild meeting it was decided that this year's recipient of a portion of the silent auction proceeds will be Langley Hospice. They do an amazing job with very little and if you have ever had someone you love need the services you will know how important the program is.
One of the main funding sources for this hospice is the hospice thrift store and what we elected to do was ask if people were willing to donate one piece of jewelry that would be tagged as from our guild and sold through the store. It is a great way to promote what we do while helping others. We will be given special space for the donations. We suggest you put a retail price on the piece so that the customers can understand the value. I know it can seem like a lot to contribute to silent auctions and charity donations and so I'd like to thank you in advance for making a positive impact in our community. Happy claying,
Deborah Groom
