VERY cool!!! my boys liked to do things like that with PC too 
when they were growing up..lots of strange armor and odd 
vehicles....and now my oldest is in film school and doing 
animation and puppets!
Frankenstein looks like a fabulous project!

 
Great project! And it is always a pleasure to see what your kids are up to. 
Thanks for sharing them with us.

I loves all my kids and adorable is the word. If you observer 
them in the PC classes, most of them will sat through the Class 
for one and a half hours just playing and creating things, even with 
autistic kid. The electricfying frankenstein project creates fun for 
the brothers to share and play with it.

Thanks, I have seen many of your works and I loves your creations. 
You are very versatile with PC, your contributions and sharing makes 
the PC World even more interesting. I appreciates Delphi Forum 
which I can share ideas and techniques with a wide mosaic of 
helpful and interesting PC artists. PC is the choice for kids to play 
and have fun creating. It is always a good medium to develop 
their mind and motor skills. I have been teaching for about 8 years
 and have many kids that grows with the clay classes since, they 
were four and half years old and now they are 8, 9 years old. 
They are very confident in PC creation, they have contributed 
their works to many school charitable events.
Your older kid is definitely heading for an interesting future.

How are you? You should talk to my wife she have something
 in common with you, here is her link,
http://www.garieinternational.com.sg/clay/mini-fashion/tresa.htm

Oh my goodness Garie~! her stuff is just awesome! I really enjoyed 
looking around her site, those mini outfits are breath taking! thank you for 
posting the link. :-)

Hee hee, my daughters always tell my grandkids not to sit still for 
too long or they will be clay-covered.  I'm not really that bad!

you mention that the students are "so confident in PC creation" 
and I love that part----creativity is VERY personally empowering. 
Keep up the good work over there!

Hi,

Thank You, I have convey your compliments to her, she's 
always posses a good fashion sense, eye of an fashion designer,
 create her own fashion when I was dating her. She's started creating 
miniature fashions and room boxes, about 10 years ago. 
Polymer clay creation about 8 years ago at the age of forty two. 
All along she was observing my classes and was impressed 
by my students in their PC creations. Her thoughts were,.......
if such young age can create something so beautiful from PC........
then she should also be able to do something with it, 
after all she have been observing, helping me and 
understands my polymer clay teaching methods.
Well, I am glad that she and my daughter acquired the skills 
in polymer clay. When you are invited to teach about a 
100 kids, requesting different subjects, ranging from flower, 
mermaid, pokemon, aeroplane, car, dog, dinosaurs, etc., 
it is definitely not a problem.

For what you are my young grandma, I know you are enjoying 
creating your PC works, thanks for showing us your many 
interesting creations with PC in your photo album. I am glad 
we share something in common.

Thanks, as Artist and Teacher polymer clay is difinitely a good 
teaching art medium and we have the obligation to promote it, 
through any channel of the media.

What fun for the kids!!!  Boy, to have had PC when I was 
a kid...?!!!....I think I would have been in heaven!

Yeh, if it was availiable then when I was six, I would have 
save lots of money buying toys. Anyway, I have to be 
contented with playing plasticine but it smell and melts under 
the sunlight.

PC certainly a good creative medium.

Nothing is more attrative that the smile of a child that feels
 good about themself....Thank you for this link....Rickie Beth

WOW. I have gotten such a kick out of these Frankensteins! 
The kids ALL did a terrific job! So creative! I definitely will show
 these to my 14 yr old son. I think they may give him motivation 
to create some of his own electric "monstrosities."
Please thank all your talented kids there for the smiles they 
gave me today.

Thank you, I agreed with your remark, a smile from a child 
will warm our hearts, especially when they are excited and 
playing with their PC Creations.
I have include additional student to the link, he is a autistic 
kid name Kervyn.

Yes, they were elated when the started to flash the 
completed Frankenstein Project .

I just found your message hidden in the builk mail folder.....I 
was looking forward to reading more about your work. 
I have spent a fair amount of time with other than typical 
learners and found that my teaching skills really become 
fine-tuned when teaching with these children.  There is 
such a fine line between some of them and the average 
child - when one gets up to the high functioning autistic - 
Asperger's syndrome.  I wish I could visit you and your
 work.  I miss being around the learning environment.  
(I was in the master's of efucation, special education 
program but health reasons caused me to have to stop 
my studies....a sad thing).  I hope that you post more 
messages and send more pictures of your wonderful life.

Thank you for your reply, well its been a norm trashing 
hundreds of spam and unsolicited emails every day. 
Good messages can sometime be pile up or accidentally 
trashed. Well, I am glad to receive your posting. Teaching 
kids are fun when you are teaching the fun in your life 
with polymer clay. We are learning every day from 
teaching the kid, no matter how old you are, they 
energized you and makes you feel younger.
I am sorry about your health reasons that you stops 
you from studying. I hope you will recover soon, your 
special skills are important in contributing to the society 
and help more kids in special education program.
