Wreath Project
 Each month a guild, or any group of clayers will present their wreath. Here are the details.
My guild (San Diego Polymer Clay Guild) is the guinea pig for something I'm doing every month starting in February. Each month, a guild will have a theme to use to make a "community" wreath. All guild members who are interested (and friends and family if they want) will make items in that theme.

Here's how it works; I contact a guild and offer a choice of two themes.  At the next guild meeting, the members vote on which theme they like. At the following meeting, all the items are brought in to put on the wreath. The guild provided the wreath, made of any material they choose and attach the items in any way they choose. At that meeting or the next Clay Day, the wreath is assembled by guild members.

So...what is needed for the article are pictures of individual items, people working on the wreath, if possible, and the finished wreath. Text would include the names of all involved, anything funny or interesting that happpened during collection or assembly, and how the wreath was put together.  Once the wreath is assembled, it is up to each guild to decide what will be done with it. They could choose to donate it to a charity, put it in their raffle, sell in on eBay for group funds, or donate it to Polyzine to be sold <g>

Any month that says "Proposed" is in process at a guild. Month specified refers to the month that the article is due to Polyzine.
