A Giveaway and Introduction to Movement This Week

This week I want to focus on the idea of movement in your artwork. Movement can be either a kinetic design (having parts that move as an integral part of the design), or a visual sense of movement. But before we move onto that, I’ve got a new little feature for you all.

Nearly every day I get an email, a card in the mail, pingbacks/notices or a comment on the blog with tips, ideas, thank yous for the blog and the magazine, as well as people who are just out promoting The Polymer Arts projects of their own accord. It’s hard to convey just how heart-warming and encouraging these notes and notices are to me, knowing that readers are taking time out of their busy lives to direct me to new information, help promote what we do here or just to let me know that TPA is making a difference.  So I have this idea. Although I won’t be able to acknowledge everyone, I’d like to take time on at least one blog a week to bring these helpful and enthusiastic readers to your attention. It would be my way of saying thanks as well as helping show all you readers just how supportive this community can be. I hope seeing this will encourage you all to to reach out and add to that support or take advantage of it when you need help and encouragement.

This week, I want to give away four back issues (winner chooses any four in print, or digital if preferred) to one of our enthusiastic readers. I’ll draw a name from the folks who help spread the word about our latest issue, Summer 2013’s Mixing it Up, and the flipbook sampler that is now up on the website. This little flipbook has sample pages from the latest issue for those who haven’t decided to get their own copy yet. If you have a guild member site, a Facebook page, Twitter account, Pinterest board, or blog that you know polymer people watch, I’d be ever so grateful if you’d share this fun little teaser. There are several other flipbook sampler issues available on the same page on The Polymer Arts website. Just post this share-able link, www.thepolymerarts.com/SampleIssues.html, and/or right click and “save image” using the image below.

To get in on the drawing for the four back issues, email me or post a comment to this blog post with a link to where you posted the information. You’ll be helping encourage other aspiring polymer artists, as well as giving yourself a chance to gain any issues you might be missing in your collection. On Sunday, I’ll share some of these links and reveal the winning reader for the giveaway!

Be sure to check in tomorrow; we will investigate movement in polymer art for the rest of the week. We have some really beautiful and unusual pieces to share and hopefully inspire you with!

    Hi – I love this world I have just found. No I’m not an expert nor even very good at the moment – but I just love it. Every different technique that I read or see, each thing that works,the in depth of the art, even looking back at my early efforts there is so much pleasure. I’ve just got a good deal on Polymer Arts for a year and its a revelation.

    Spread the word! and thank you for helping me be part of it!

    Done. Posted to our AZ Clay Guild Facebook page and my own Pinterest board (and found a couple of new boards to follow from the comments above). Would have done this without the contest…love your magazine – and your blog. Thanks for your contributions to polymer clay and feeding our interest.
