Wreath Project
South Texas Polymer Clay Guld
Patty Barnes, Vice-President
This was a great challenge for our South Texas Polymer Clay Guild. We
have both new and experienced clayers in the guild so it was a wonderful
opportunity for us to share. We spent one guild meeting on translating
quilt patterns into quilt canes and applying some color theory. Another
guild meeting was spent on learning different ways to make leaves,
caned, cut and textured and cut and PearlExed.

The last meeting was putting everyone's efforts together to completely
cover the entire wreath both front and back and inside and out with both quilt canes, quilted hearts, butterflies, fish, angels, and other
surprises hidden under a variety of leaves. The wreath is a good sized
16" across and since it is decorated on both sides can be hung in a door
window for everyone to enjoy.

Our guild meets monthly in Corpus Christi on the second Saturday from
1-4:30 p.m. We love visitors and invite ya'll to come on down.
