A Journey with Leaves
Posted on | September 20, 2011 | 6 Comments
Summer is coming to an end and once more we begin to turn inward here at Elysian Field Originals with an eye to nesting for the winter. Leaves are already beginning to fall and I’ve collected quite a few from the area here in Rhode Island, as well as Maine.
The recent hurricane, Irene, wreaked havoc with many of us along the Eastern corridor, and now that things are slowly returning to normal I can finish up on some polymer commission pieces I am woefully behind on. The only good Irene did was to aid me with my leaf collection, lol.
While out walking the other day I was gathering leaf specimens and began to think of the strange journey that these beautiful organics have taken me on. Who would have thought that a leaf would foster friendships with people worldwide in places such as Belgium, England, Italy, China, Australia, and across the USA…a leaf could do all this?
Leaves are so complex, yet simplistic in their beauty. The colors, textures, sizes, are all unique and none are identical, much like the people I create my wearable art pieces for. I am so grateful for the opportunities that have come along…mostly for the wonderful people I have met along the way…on my journey with leaves…

Nothing nicer on a sunny Friday morning than sipping a cup of coffee, checking emails, and finding out I am featured for Friday’s artist on Polymer Clay Daily. Many thanks to Cynthia Tinapple for the feature. She’s someone I have followed and admired for years so it was a real honor.
Happy Friday all!

Spirit of the Forest, Drunk Drivers, and Polymer Clay
Posted on | October 6, 2010 | 3 Comments
Hello all and I’m sorry to have disappeared for a bit. A week ago I was rear-ended by a drunk driver and it left me very sore. How scary was the fact that the lady was a nurse on her way to care for a patient. Yikes!!! All is well now, my car is on it’s way to being repaired, and life goes on once more.
Below is a really pretty treasury curated by AutumnBlaze that I am in (Woodland Frolic Necklace). You can click on the pictures and it will take you to each shop, I highly recommend checking out the artists here, some amazing hand crafted art.
I’m working on a few new pieces right now and am thinking of putting together some tutorials to post. My question to you all is what type of tutorial would you like to see? Leave a comment as it will help me decide which direction to take. My latest miniature is a dragon or gargoyle. I love to work in miniature but it is hard to detail all at once and so I am series baking it as I progress. Next comes feet, claws and teeth all in translucent clay, continue on with the spikes on back, add wings, a tail and paint. The gargoyle is only 3” tall!
