Member Interview - Chicki
Who Inspires You
No one specifically. I am inspired by other great works of polymer clay artists out there and seeing their work inspires me to try out new things and see what I can create from it. Polymer Cafe magazine and other polymer clay books help inspire me too.
What inspires you?
I love color, so anything colorful can inspire me. Sometimes its something in nature that inspires me. But seeing other fantastic polymer clay art inspires me to try out new things.
Where do you create?
I create in my porch on my old kitchen table. I used to create in my kitchen until I got a new table that I couldn’t clay on and then I moved out to my porch. Its a nice little space where I can close the door and be with myself and my imagination. I have a table set up in there and I use my toaster oven out there too. Its my own “space” for all my crafty adventures.
How long have you been working with polymer clay?
I guess for a few years now but only really seriously in the past year or so. I took a small hiatus after each of my children were born but now am seriously creating. I love clay and all the diversity it can bring. Also, finding a group of people such as the PCAGOE has really inspired me to create and explore all that polymer clay has to offer. I love that!
