3.  New Beginnings by Becky Sue of BeckySueCreations
This bead was done as my Etsy challenge piece. it was titled New Beginnings because the women is looking to the future and moving on. It was made by making mutli-layers of translucent based on techniques learned in a Kathleen Dustin class.

4.  Holiday Teapot by Lisa of HiGirls
This teapot was inspired by vintage glass tree ornaments. Applied pearlized mica on the white clay and gold metallic on the gold clay adds a little sparkle to this piece.

5.  Roly Poly Santa by Arlene  of Ashpaints
This cute little Santa started out as a plain small clear Christmas ball. It was wrapped with green polymer clay and the individual pieces are added - arms with hands, feet, beard and mustache and hat. Small black beads are used for the eyes and a needle tool was used to add texture. This little guy can either stand on his own or hang from one of the branches of your Christmas tree.

6.  Gold and Scarlet Gingko Leaf Christmas Ornament by Susan LadyFlowersbySusan
This Christmas ornament features one of my Gingko Leaves, made from Polymer Clay in Scarlet, Gold and Bronze. The leaf is accented with small carnelian beads and Swarovski crystals. A ceramic bead carries out the color scheme. A large carnelian bead and a gold tone hanging ring complete the ornament

7.  Freddy the (Reindeer Feeder) by Cindy of ArrowdaleArtStudio
This is my elf, Freddy - Freddy the Feeder, he's called, up North. It's his responsibility to keep the reindeer happy and fed. (There's another elf who curries the reindeer. I haven't met him yet, but I'm sure I willl...

8.  Toasty Warm Bird Holiday Ornament by Marie of YoungCreative
This colorful winter bird is toasty warm in his knit red cap. I sculpted him from polymer clay over a hollow egg shell. The egg is from a well-educated chicken near my home that was raised by a university dean who moonlights as a farmer.

9.  Butterfly Ornament by Jill of Jkollmann
This ornament is based on a manufactured hollow glass lentil-shape. The back is gold, pearl and silver metallic clays extruded, shaved and coiled. The molded border is highlighted with Gilder's Paste and the three butterflies have Swarovski crystal bling.

10.  Mod Cane Ornament by Freda of FredaK

A mod cane made with the extruder.

11.  Penguin Snowglobe by  Beth of CreateMyWorld
 Poor Penguin so enjoyed catching snowflakes on the tip of his tongue and eating them that he didn't heed his older siblings' warning that he would grow a snowman inside his belly and now look at what has happened! To read more about the story behind this sculpture and to view more photos of him, please check out my blog post: createmyworlddesigns.blogspot.com/2013/11/a-holiday-tribute-to-my-brothers.html

12.  Pearl Metallic Inlaid Valet No. 136 by Susan of 11BOLDstreet
 This all-season vessel is perfect for the holidays, featuring layers of pearl, white and other metallic polymer. The copper, silver, bronze colors were stamped, inlaid and sanded smooth to reveal the mica shift. The under surface was coated with translucent (and liquid) polymer, then embedded with metallic fusible fibers and mica powders. Sterling plate wire accents three ball feet.

13.  Millefiori Floral Ornament to fit over Mini Light Bulb by Angela of PolymerClayCreations

Handmade Christmas ornament designed to hang on the tree with a mini light bulb inside to light it up. See more views in my photostream: www.flickr.com/photos/polymer_clay_creations/

14. Christmas Lights Necklace by Line of PlaySculptLive
I chose this piece for my entry of the Beads and Baubles. I swear I've had people ask me if they light up.

A sampling of comments left by voters:

- Great entries - it was really difficult to choose 3 of them. Thanks

- Love these shakers!

- Tough to decide this month I needed a fourth place for 12. Like all of them hard to narrow down.

- Awesome shakers!

- The Feed your Geek set was so clever and well done !

- The creativity in these entries warms my heart, inspires my heart and curls my toes.

- You all are such an inspiration! I just purchased my first blocks of polymer clay and came to Etsy to look at canes. I am amazed by your amazing skill and talent levels. I hope one day to be among you on Etsy!

- It keeps getting harder and harder to choose. Wonderful collection.

- cool theme!

- I love the creative things that these artists are able to do with polymer!

- I'm new to polymer clay - and love seeing all the great artists featured on the site. I liked all the entries - it was hard to choose. You all inspire me!

- Amazed at the variety of styles and what each artist did. So creative.

- The geek in me voted !

- As a glass artist I have tons of respect and appreciation to all the clay workers out there. Incredible patterns keep up the awesome work.

-This was a terrific subject/challenge this month. So interesting to see all the ways something as simple as a salt and pepper shaker can be perceived by others. Kudos.

- Thank you so much to the members who find the time to continually meet the challenges each month with such beauty and variety. I enjoy seeing the differences between the public's choices and the member's choices each month –

- This was a fun challenge that got several of us out of usual creative "box". I love to see the variety and imagination of our members.

- These are all great examples--but I have to give the nod to the out of the box old fashioned salt and pepper cellars.

- That Feed Your Geek set is truly inspired!

- Being a Geek myself, I adore the "Feed your Geek" shakers. Made my day to see those.

- So many original interpretations...so tough to choose only 3. Could have voted for originality, could have voted for level of technique difficulty but opted for the entries that struck my personal fancy at the moment of voting (which could change the next moment!) Great work everyone!

 

Salt and Pepper Shakers the November PCAGOE Challenge

Vote and Win!
Three lucky winners will be selected in a drawing of all non-member voters and will be able to choose a prize offered by our member shops sponsoring this month's challenge. See the list of participating sponsors and prizes. 
 



And the entries are:

1. Salt and Pepper Cellars by Susan of LadyFlowersbySusan
I thought of my grandmother's cut crystal salt cellars, each with its own tiny silver spoon engraved with her initial....I made the salt cellar for the Challenge from a translucent Stroppel cane. The pepper cellar is made with a similar cane with three shades of very dark brown. I made matching spoons for each cellar.

2. Metallic Shakers No. 101 by Susan of 11BOLDstreet
These salt and pepper shakers for the PCAGOE Monthly Challenge were primarily composed of polymer techniques sheets featuring foils and metallic leaf. Coated with liquid polymer, more bling was added with sprinkles of shiny silver mica powder.

3. Sunflower Garden Shakers by Jill of Beautified Essentials
This was one of my most detailed flower canes, having 12 petals. I arranged the sunflower cane slices first and then placed the leaves of different sizes around the flowers to see where it looked best. And smoothed it before baking - no sanding required. I have a birdfeeder and my birds "plant" sunflowers for me every summer. The shakers are a year round cheerful piece of art for the kitchen.

4. Moroccan Salt and Pepper Shaker Set by Marie of YoungCreative
This colorful Moroccan-inspired salt and pepper shaker set features a blend of metallic and translucent polymer clay that I hand buffed and waxed. There is even a little texture surprise in the teal: course ground pepper! It is a technique called inclusion. It gives a very natural organic feel to the finished piece. Peek-a-boo flower petal cut-outs allow you to easily see what is inside.

5. Sailing Away by Becky of BeckySueCreations
Cane slices were used to cover the salt and pepper shaker. These reminds me of summer days when I was young and had a makeshift sailboat.

6. Midnight Ocean by by Jill of Jkollmann
"Midnight Ocean" salt and pepper shakers have ocean-themed elements on all four sides. This image shows two of the sides for the salt shaker, and the other two sides for the pepper shaker so you can see all four. These are 3 3/4 inches tall.

7. Simply Fun Shakers by Lisa of HiGirls
These shakers are created for PCAGOE's November challenge "salt and pepper shakers". They were very fun to make with lots of bits and bobs of clay and texture going wild. The other sides can be seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/39493796@N08/10388950996/

8. Multi-colored, Patterened Salt and Pepper Shakers by Marcia of marcympc
Salt and Pepper covered in black and white with slices of a very large cane applied in solid sheets and in varied shapes.

9. Groovy Salt and Pepper Shakers by Berit of ClayImages
Made with designs from extruded clay, these shakers will put a smile on your face! The blue or green colored line at the top distinguishes the content. These shakers are 4 inches high.

10. Feed Your Geek Salt and Pepper Shakers by Beth of CreateMyWorld

These salt and pepper shakers are for those with a nerdy side. The salt shaker is covered with a mixture of chopped white, frost white and translucent polymer clay, and has a black rectangle on the front with a diagram of sodium chloride (salt) embossed in white. The pepper shaker is covered with a mix of black, granite and translucent clay, this one has a white rectangle on the front with a diagram of Piperine. Piperine is the alkaloid in pepper which is responsible for its pungent taste. For more views of this set, please visit my Flickr photostream: www.flickr.com/photos/createmyworlddesigns

11. Santa Salt and Pepper Shakers by Line of PlaySculptLive

Thinking outside the box for this salt and pepper shaker challenge. A Santa to hold the salt and pepper shakers.

12. Rainbow Pixelated Retro Salt and Pepper Shakers by Angela of PolymerClayCreations
I had been wanting to try Betina Welkers pixelated retro blend tutorial ever since I first saw it on Polymer Clay Daily. I finally decided to try it for my PCAGOE monthly challenge entry. It was so much fun, watch out you might see a lot more of this in my future, LOL.
See more angles in my photo stream here:  www.flickr.com/photos/polymer_clay_creations/with/1047637...

13. Fall Tapestry Salt and Pepper by Arlene of HarrisonHollowDesigns
This set of salt and pepper shakers celebrates the changing of the leaves in Autumn. I just got back from a trip to North Carolina where I got to see first hand the changing of the seasons... something we miss in Mississippi!

14. Tribal Salt & Pepper divided cellar dish cover by Betsy of PolyClayCafe 

For more views see www.flickr.com/photos/98189899@N07/sets/72157636976808686/

We use salt cellars and pepper mills, so this little base and cover fits perfectly over one of my little divided glass dishes so the salt and pepper keep separated. I opted for a tribal, geometric design in the earth tone colors I love and fits in with our decor because I intend to use this.

Feature Artist: Carole of Compelled Craft

 

 

Introducing Carole Monahan-Kampfe of Compelled Craft 

PCAGOE Feature Artist from October 14th through October 27th

Carole started working with polymer clay almost by accident. She and her daughter were house cleaning and discovered some craft supplies which included some polymer clay. She says that not much cleaning got done that day after the discovery!

 

In Carole's words: "It all started with a little bird, Wort the Worry Bird. I made Wort the first time for a friend who was going through a really rough time. I told her Wort would help Her with all her woes. Everyone who saw Wort had to have one as well. Then Wort was joined by his cousin Lucky ducky." Carole says that her Lucky Duckies were made with the sole purpose to raise funds for the MS (Multiple Sclerosis) society. Carole was diagnosed with MS in 2003 and she finds that working with the clay is great physical and cognitive therapy, to help with the hand and muscle cramps associated with her illness. 

She has been working with polymer ever since her first encounter with it. She has since authored tutorials for Polymer Clay Cafe, her 1st tutorial was for her Bambooya beads in April 2012 and her latest tutorial Mobius Mass is in this Month 's October 2013 issue. Carole never gets bored with the possibilities of polymer and feels compelled to keep working with this medium because her well of ideas never runs dry.
