My designs "borrowed"
It has come to my attentiion that a poster here is using my designs of
inlaid crystals as her own original design. Let it be known that I was designing these since 1999! I hope Leigh does lay the cards on the table and let the posters at PCC know the name of the clayer who uses other's ideas freely as her own. Thank you Darlene for posting all over the internet ideas that I have been selling for 4 years! |

Its very difficult for anybody to truthfully claim being the *first* to do things with polymer clay---I've been using crystals inlaid into fairies (they make great eyes) for more than a decade. My friend across town makes rhinestone and crystal studded polymer clay pieces and has since the 1980's. Lots of poeple come up with the same ideas at the same times, separately. That's synchronicity. Gosh, I pressed a swarovski bead into a glob of clay a few weeks ago, just to see what it would look like. It was just something that was on the table and I had a piece of clay in my hand. I do that with all sorts of objects. I had no idea it was a 'design' or that I was 'stealing'. Laura |

I was putting rhinestones into polyclay in 1996 (or there abouts). Does that mean that Rosecatts was "stealing" from me, too? Or does it just mean that putting rhinestones into polyclay is a good idea, sort of a *natural* thing to do with rhinestones and polyclay? ;-) Arondelle -- ================================================== ========= "Reserve your right to think, for even to think wrongly is better than not to think at all." - Hypatia of Alexandria "People who believe they have all the answers have stopped asking questions." - Marx Stead of Canton, OH ================================================== ========= Visit Arondelle's Dream Worlds at: http://www.arondelle.com Read my Blog: http://www.angelfire.com/blog/arondelle/index.html Shop my sto http://www.cafepress.com/arondelle3 |

Let it be known that I was
designing these since 1999! I I think its very clear that many people use all sorts of inclusions--beads, crystals, glitter, glass--even herbs and spices. And many people forget that there are thousands of people working in the same media at the same time, who also notice stuff like that pasta machines and garlic presses are useful, as are rubber stamps and other art/cratf items. I know at least ten people who independantly "discovered" pasta machines work with clay rather nicely. As an artist, I am more interested in seeing what else might be cool with my clay than I am in claiming the "discovery rights". (as Eddie Izzard would say--"Do you have a flag?")

I actually saw some beautiful glass beads (maybe fiber optic) which
looked had "little diamonds" embedded in them in this month's issue of Bead & Button. Your right. They really sparkle! Maria www.stores.ebay.com/Lepoppet |

Funny thing, about embedding stuff in clay.... it was one of the very first things I did (some years ago).... had some clay and a bunch of semi-precious gem chips, so it seemed logical to put them together! Mine came out pretty sad looking! I love jewelry, but making pretty stuff is not exactly my forte. |

LOL, I like that. Who's Eddie Izzard?
He'sa wonderful comedian. John Cleese called him "The funniest man in England" He has several videos of his specials out----the "flag" line is from one called "Dressed to Kill" and its a real scream. We hurt ourselves laughing; but it was well worth it. Sarajane Sarajane's Polymer Clay Gallery http://www.polyclay.com view my auctions at: http://www.polyclay.com/Collage/auction.htm |

Also glass beads. Clear beads in black clay look like stars - everyone feel
free to use this idea. Dianne Florida Hi Dianne! Whereabouts in Florida are you? I'm a Floridian too! ;-) Valerie Website: http://www.geocities.com/m2ir8/index.html |

"The Cat's Meow"? The film about a murder on William Randolf Hearst's yacht.

The film about a murder on William Randolf Hearst's yacht. Robert Just to add to the Izzard conversation - I think he is briliant! I remember first seeing a stand up show of his on TV way back in the early ninties when I was travelling back from someplace and was stuck in a very dubious bed and breakfast for the night! I think that was before he was open about his cross-dressing it was that long ago! He has done some real turkeys though - like his sit-com about cows, that one didn't get the contract to run a second season oddly enough! Here in the UK, recently he did a three part documentary for discovery channel called "Mongrel Nation" all about Britain and the different waves of people who have imigrated here over the centuries and what they have added to our culteral mix, that was really fascinating program, made more enjoyable with those special Izzard touches! I didn't realise he was so well known over in the States too though! Emma |
