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!

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?")

LOL, I like that. Who's Eddie Izzard?

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.

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.

I would agree with John Cleese but not limit it to England. Eddie's a
wonderful actor also. Did you see him as Chaplin in. "The Cat's Meow"? The
film about a murder on William Randolf Hearst's yacht.

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!

no, haven't seen that one yet, but I will! It sounds good. He's also in Velvet
Goldmine and several other flicks.

Also glass beads. Clear beads in black clay look like stars - everyone feel
free to use this idea.
