Sunday Shopping Spree - June 12th 2011

Next Sunday is Father's Day for some of the world (Australia celebrates this in September), so in the spirit of this my Sunday Shopping Spree post (yes, it went on hiatus) is about a Father, who is also an artisan.

Chris Newcomb is a father of three, IT guy and all around nice fellow who happens to work with wood, and polymer clay, and acrylic. I first met Chris via Plurk (yes, it really is evil and addicting) and then he joined the Smooshers. He had begun to combine his scrollsawing skills with polymer clay to create some really unique items. In recent times he has turned to lathing, creating gorgeous pens, nib holders, seam rippers, razors and other items using wood and acrylic.
So let's go window shopping in his studio on ArtFire - C. Newcomb's Woodworking.

You can see lots more at C. Newcomb's Woodworking on ArtFire. And to all the Dads out there - have a great day next Sunday.

Creative Combining.

It is time for another Polymer Clay Smooshers Guild blogring featured Smoosher. This week it is Chris Newcomb, better known to me as Eaglehawk (his username on Plurk).

His main material of choice is wood, and he is very talented at working with wood. He mainly scrollsaws, and can produce quite intricate results. Recently he began to experiment with combining polymer clay with his scrollsawed wood items to create a very interesting result. Chris is only too happy to do custom pieces, such as name keyrings, and you can even choose the colour of polymer clay used.

To celebrate being our featured Smoosher Chris is having a 10% off sale, just use the coupon code 10PERCENT when you check out. Be sure to check out his blog whilst you are in his ArtFire studio.
This last picture has no polymer clay, but does show how wonderfully talented Chris is.
