Polies & Clowns

Quick post to show you some new style polymer beads I've been making...
 Circus Party Beads....
 Flower Party Beads.... Yes, that's right; for some reason they're party beads, whatever that means...
 Clown Party...Clearly I have lost my mind...
 But don't they look like a Clown Party?  I actually HAD a real clown party when I turned 5 or 6.  My dad knew a real live clown.  I've got photos of about 100 kids smiling and jumping around me while I am sitting in the middle of the crew pouting with my arms crossed, totally pissed off about something.  I'll see if I can find the picture--it's pretty funny.  It's hard to be 5.
 You might be surprised to know how many clown-related incidents I've had in my life.  I have been approached twice now in restaurants by actual card-carrying clowns wanting to show us magic tricks.  I'm a clown magnet.  They literally had clown business cards.  Two separate incidents, with two different clowns, in different states. And they weren't working at the restaurant as entertainers.  I do make it a habit to avoid restaurants that would even consider employing clowns to approach people while eating dinner. I bet it would be hard to even find a restaurant that does that.

One business card is a fake million dollar bill with the clown's picture on it.  It's a very unprofessional business card, but that is part of the clown gig.  I've got it on my fridge.  I'll take a picture of it.  Several more clown stories, but I will spare you because I know some people have a real fear of clowns.  Down with clowns.
 Some prims with the new glaze technique....
 And another in the Fictional Planet series.  Here we have a tribute to the Ice Moon of Andoria sculpted out of polymer clay.  Ta-DAAA!!!!
 Some stormy guys here.
These aren't up yet--I'm feeling like the photos make them look too saturated in color.  Have to look at them again.  Might need to redo photos.  Weird lighting lately; stormy all the time.  Go see all my new beads!
