From Western Maine, Sheryl Westleigh creates a stunning array of polymer clay sculpture and jewelry. Most notably, her collection of unique cuttlefish jewelry captures a real essence of the sea.
These marine inspirations are just the tip of the iceberg in a collection that includes woodland creatures, fantasy figures and mythical beasts.
Surrounded by a real life menagerie of over 20 pets, Sheryl (aka Noadi) creates an amazing variety of inspired artwork, from pendants and earrings, to sketches and Perma-Pets.
Inspirational Beading had a chat with this talented designer about her inspirations and innovations. Here’s what Sheryl had to say:
Inspirational Beading: How did you first discover polymer clay?
Sheryl Westleigh: When I was in college I was wandering through a local art supply store and spotted some Sculpey 3 on sale, and I thought it would be fun to make some little miniatures for the Dungeons and Dragons campaign I was in. I never ended up making them but instead sculpted little heads and critters.
IB: What is your favorite style or technique?
SW: I started with polymer clay as a sculptor and that's still what I enjoy most. That's why even my jewelry is primarily sculpted and things like faux materials or caning techniques are secondary to the pieces, if they are included at all.
IB: Where do you find the most inspiration?
SW: Definitely in nature. I think anyone who looks at my work probably immediately notices my obsession with cephalopods (cuttlefish, squid, octopus, etc). I also enjoy a lot of mythology and folklore and that often appears in my larger sculptures.
IB: What is your favorite resource for ideas or techniques?
SW:Glass Attic is an amazing online encyclopedia of polymer clay techniques and it's my first stop if I'm looking up a technique. Katherine Dewey is an amazing sculptor with a pair of really good books, she also has a forum where she answers questions about working with polymer clay. For really amazing and often creepy sculptures the Shiflett Brothers are a team of sculptors also with a great forum.
IB: Who do you hope to inspire with your work?
SW: You know I haven't really thought about that before. I don't think of myself generally as someone who does inspire others. [I’m more of] a teacher and I try hard to help other artists and crafters as much as I can. My mom is a teacher and I think that has rubbed off on me, which is one reason I recently started up a new blog about what I've learned running a handmade business.

I have a confession to make: I am having a difficult time gauging the suckiness of the current economy. I live in a fairly well-off area of the world, where high gas prices don't stop people from driving their Hummers and women have rocks on their wedding bands the size of small chihuahuas. I live in a place where the most commonly listed profession is DOCTOR/LAWYER/STAY AT HOME MOM! and a house built back in 1995 is considered old.
It's a hard life, really.
I feel like what I have seen in the media lately has, strangely enough, conflicted with what's been happening in this charming little town of mine. Sure, rumors have started to swirl about so-and-so's husband being laid off, spoken in the same hushed whispers one uses to speak of leprosy. I've never actually heard someone speak of leprosy, but you know- it's the same voice that I imagine they would use if they did. Two parts sympathy, one part slight disgust.
But honestly, for the most part, it's business as usual. Friends are already asking us to buy tickets to expensive holiday concerts; co-workers are talking about the new iPod/iPhone/iWhatever they're buying their kids for Christmas.
So I've decided that I have a new way of monitoring the current state of the economy.
Is it the stock market? Nah. Is it the newscasters on TV screaming about foreclosures? Nope. Is it the stories of gloom and doom in the newspapers? Nuh uh.
It's plastic surgery. Yes, good old plastic surgery. I have been monitoring the current activity amongst my peers and their plastic surgeons. It is a time of economic crisis, right? We are supposed to be looking for ways to be frugal and save money, right?
Like, you know- maybe we should cut back on the Botox to save some money. I mean...food on the table or Restylane injections: it's a very tough choice.
But apparently it is a tough choice. Someone I know managed to say (in the very same breath) that she was, "cutting back like everyone else and trying to work more to help with child care costs" but she also had an appointment for a boob job next week and she was so excited.
Hooray! Things must be fine if we can still afford new boobs.
Right?
Right.
So whew. I was beginning to worry there for a moment. Not anymore. You can suck it, Mr. Bernanke- something must still be right in this world. We can still afford new boobs.
Brightly colored fruits and vegetables are a great example of nature’s best offerings coming together in one place. Our favorite produce is often the most colorful, which is no coincidence. Not only are these foods delicious, but they are exceptionally good for us, too. Nature always manages to draw us in with her vibrant reds, greens and yellows.
The Inspiration:
I remember reading about Tagua when I first became interested in beadwork. I was instantly drawn to the material, not only because of its good environmental reputation, but because of its unique beauty as well. It was months before I finally got around to buying a few slices, and once I had them sorted and stashed, I completely forgot about them.
While looking for materials for another project, I came across my little collection of Tagua pendants, and decided it was time to finally put one to use. So I picked a nice pear-shaped piece in lime green, and set it on my workspace as a reminder to make something exotic as soon as the opportunity arose.
The Beads:
The shape and color of the pendant I chose reminded me so much of a piece of ripe fruit, that I decided to run with the idea, and chose beads to suit. I picked transparent orange and yellow 11/0 seed beads, with silver lined chartreuse 8/0’s for accents.
The Beadwork:
Since the pendant was drilled front to back, I went with V-shaped St. Petersburg chain, and anchored the pendant to the beadwork with a pink roundelle. With the beads all together, the fruity theme comes right through. I think it looks like a bowl of sliced papaya, kiwi and pineapple. I like the way the Tagua pairs with the tropical colors. This necklace has me yearning for summer!

Title: Betty's Mother's Christmas Fruit Salad Recipe
In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make her Mothers Christmas Fruit Salad with Brown Sugar Dressing. This salad has been a Christmas tradition in my family all of my life (and even farther back). It is a beautiful salad, very healthy, and tastes wonderful! Ingredients: 1 ¼ cups firmly packed brown sugar 2 tablespoons cornstarch 1 cup water 1 tablespoon white vinegar 2 seedless oranges, peeled, sliced, and cut into quarter-slices 2 red delicious apples, chopped (You dont need to peel these.) 2 pears, chopped (You dont need to peel these.) 1 bunch of red seedless grapes, with each grape halved 3 bananas, peeled and sliced In a small saucepan stir together 1 ¼ cups brown sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Add 1 cup water and 1 tablespoon white vinegar. Place over low heat, and cook, stirring constantly, until the dressing is thickened. Remove from heat, let sit at room temperature, and then refrigerate until ready to use. Prepare 2 seedless oranges, 2 red apples, 2 pears, a bunch of red seedless grapes, and 3 bananas, as directed above. Place all of the prepared fruit in a large clear bowl. Pour the cooled brown sugar over the fruit and fold until all of the fruit gets some coating. Cover the bowl of fruit with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. You may serve this fruit salad directly from the bowl, or spoon it into individual sherbet glasses for an elegant look. It wouldnt be Christmas at my house without Mamas Fruit Salad! If you do not have a tradition like this in your family, I hope you will start one this year. Its one of the best parts of Christmas! Merry Christmas to all! Love, Betty ?

It feels so odd looking at fashions for next fall when we are still in the throes of winter; in fact, our snowiest month here in Colorado (which is March) hasn't even hit yet. Stores and boutiques are stocking flouncy skirts, ruffled tanks, and brightly patterned bikinis; yet the fashion world is currently celebrating and showcasing the dark, layered, heavy trends for next fall.
And I feel like I have a raging hangover from trying to take it all in at once.
Jesus christ, what season is it?!!! If you see me wandering around sometime in the next few weeks in this getup with a bikini top layered over it, Wayfarers perched precariously on my face, and gladiator sandals instead of boots....well, you will know exactly what happened:
I'm inventing a new season yay! Fallring? Faringtime? Rachel Zoe if you read this call me!
Grieve for me, girls. I'm srsly confused. My brain has sucked it all in and barfed it back out in a mishmash of pretty peaches and preposterous plaids. I click on the links posted at nymag.com to see the runway shows and the brief sting of panic washes over me until I realize, oh yeah- these are fall runway shows. Not spring. No need to fear, Chloe; no need to be startled. Black isn't going to be the big trend this summer. These are fall runway shows.Faaaall.
And I perhaps feel a bit sorry for those in the fashion industry. Is there ever a moment to genuinely enjoy what they've done?
Probably not. But I don't feel that sorry for them, because they obviously get to wear awesome clothes (of their own awesome design) all the time. Which would be awesomely awesome. I'd love to wear awesome clothes of my own awesome design, but I lack those certain design skills needed to be anyone awesome in the Fashion Biz.
So! If I had to design and make my own clothes, I'd probably be running around wrapped in duct tape and toilet paper, adorned in Tulip puff paints with rhinestones stuck on with a glue gun. And it might be bananas, but probably in a way I wasn't exactly going for.
Good thing I have Nanette Lepore to make awesome clothes instead. She was up today:
Ms. Lepore can do no wrong in my eyes. I love her more than someone should be allowed to love a fashion designer they're obsessively stalking. I just want to put her in my pocket, okay? There's nothing wrong with wanting to put itsy bitsy fashion designers into your pocket. Or wanting to kidnap her and hold her against her will in your closet so she can only design clothes for YOU. Or wanting to also get a little bit of the hotness that is Marc Jacobs in on the action.
Beavis and Butthead laughing starts...now. Uhhh heh heh.
What's been your favorite from NY Fashion Week so far? The worst?
With fall quickly approaching, August is a time for getting in a few final tastes of summer. We’re all taking last minute camping trips, and dashing to the beach, hoping to make the most of the season while it lasts. Even though the weather is still warm, little signs are warning us of cooler times ahead. Even some of the leaves are turning early, as if to say “Store some food or you’ll be next”.
For this month’s color palette, I wanted to focus on something colorful, tropical and warm. Something that would help carry summer heat and light on into the darker autumn months.
The blue tang is a boldly colored reef fish from the Indo-Pacific, also called the palette tang. It has long been a popular aquarium species, but especially since the appearance of Dory in Pixar’s Finding Nemo. I thought that a stunning tropical fish would make for some wonderful summer palettes, and the blue tang does deliver.
The first palette I created was quite literal. The deep yellow and blue of the fish easily translate into beads. To create Splish Splash, I used Miyuki seed beads in transparent cobalt and opaque yellow. For black I added a pair of CRYSTALLIZED™ - Swarovski pear-shaped pearls. Although the colors are borrowed directly from the image of the blue tang, they remind me more of scuba gear than a fish.
To create this Sea Monster palette, I had to turn down the brightness a bit, and started with some smoky blue shell coins. With their obvious aquatic nature, it’s still easy to see the summer theme. I matched them up with yellow cat eyes, like little orbs of sunlight, and shiny hematite black 8/o seed beads.
The final palette was an odd one. I started with some transparent yellow seed beads, and opaque blue Czech fire polish rounds. After adding shiny black bugle beads, I thought that the group would make a wonderful sea anemone. But the beads began speaking for themselves as I drew the palette, and ended up with some kind of psychedelic palm tree.
I had trouble finding a name for this palette. The best I could come up with was 20,000 Leaves. What would you call it?

Title: Beading with Soft Flex Trios Colors
Recorded on June 7, 2009 at the Bead & Button Show in Milwaukee, WI. I talk about the 10 new color choices in Soft Flex Wire. The Trios are available in 9 color sets as well as a Soft Flex Extreme set. Each set contains 3 mini spools with 10 feet of wire. So you get 30 feet in total, but in 3 different colors. This is a dream come true for designers and beaders alike. You can match your colored beading wire to you gemstones now.
Last week I tried using one of my own bead color palettes, and ended up with a pretty nice little peacock pendant. It inspired me to go back and explore some of the possibilities of other palettes of the past.
The first triad I ever created is one that I’ve been wanting to use for a long time. Chemistry Set was made from a photograph of Saturn’s rings, and used purple and green seed beads with fiber optic cubes and rectangles. I always liked the combination, but I never got around to making anything with it.
Recently, I acquired some really pretty matte green druks in a sort of minty shade that perfectly matches my shamrock lined crystal TOHOs. So, I used these to replace the peridot green of the original palette and got to work.
I used my old standby, circular brick stitch, to make a pendant of four circles connected in a lazy zig-zag. I have only ever used the design with rivolis, but the brick circles are so much faster to stitch up, and easy to work with. I think I might have to revive the idea on a regular basis.
Eventually I added some purple cats eye beads to the mix as well, to pair off with the druks. They match the seed beads almost perfectly and it worked out really well.
The shamrock green doesn’t give the palette the same industrial vibe as the peridot. I think it’s much more organic now, and the shape of the pendant is like motes of pollen clinging together under a microscope. Somehow it always comes back to nature!

Pearl Necklace - ZZ Top (Studio Version) (HQ) From their Greatest Hits album Track 6
This week's blogging prompt is suppose to be about how we fell out of love with a particular technique. My problem is that I don't know that I have a specific technique that I've done over and over, then got tired of and never did again. So, with that in mind, I thought I'd turn this topic around a bit and talk about falling out of love with an idea, and share some lessons learned with something that didn't work for me: consignment.
What is consignment? For artisans, it's the act of placing your work in a retail store for that store to sell. You retain ownership of your work until it's sold, and the store will take a percentage of the sale (or mark-up/adjust the selling price to include their cut). It's different than wholesaling, because the store is not purchasing your work outright; instead, you are essentially renting space. The pros to consignment is that your work is being displayed in a new venue in front of a (potentially) new audience, an audience that gets to see and hold your work (a definite benefit over online shopping). The downside to consignment is your work may not sell, and if it does, you may have to wait for payment.
My first and only experience with consignment can be classified under "not good", and it has made me gun-shy. On the surface, it was a dream offer; the shop catered to local handmade goods of all types. The reality… well, maybe the reality wasn't too far off from the dream, but I can honestly say I was too new and inexperienced. The offer came before I even established my business, and I felt pushed into having a meeting with the shop owner. So I went, even knowing this was happening too fast, and it was a truly awkward, horrible, dent-to-the-ego experience. The silver lining about it all is that I did learn a few things. Here's what I walked away with:
Lesson 1: Don't rush; it's okay to stay small for as long as possible. It's okay to take things slow, to build your stock up, to find your own personal voice, and to work on just having a business and building a customer base before branching out to other selling avenues.
Lesson 2: Experience and research are good. Take time to figure out your style, your branding, your prices, and your target audience. Take time to get your business set up, including legal and tax information. And take some time to visit stores ahead of time to see if your work would be a good match before you make an approach.
Lesson 3: Prepare, prepare, prepare. Be as prepared before meeting with the owner or manager as you can. Ask questions from fellow artist friends about what to expect when consigning, and do some research online. Go to the meeting with questions of your own, and have any paperwork ready.
Lesson 4: Trust your instincts. I was wildly uncomfortable through this whole experience, but I didn't trust my gut. To compound my anxiety, the attitude of the manager was very abrasive, very demanding, and it was a bit of a shock for my first experience. Was it her being tough or me being so green? I don't know, but now that I've had some experience selling, I feel like I'd be in a better position to approach consignment should that opportunity present itself again.
With all this being said, I also wanted to point out that just because my experience was a rough one doesn't mean other people have had a hard time consigning. My friend and fellow designer Vicki Potter from Orion Designs has been consigning for 10 years, and I asked her to share some tips for success.
Vicki's tips:
1. Make an appointment at the store with someone who is in a position to make a decision regarding whether or not they want to carry your products. This may seem obvious, but I highly recommend not doing “cold calls”. Without an appointment, you never know who will be on duty. It may be a sales clerk with no authority and you will have wasted your time. Some may ask you to leave samples. Because of the price points of my products and the one-of-a-kind nature of them, I will never do this and recommend against it.
2. Once the store owner has agreed to carry your product, there are some basic questions you need answers to. Who is responsible for lost inventory? In my experience, that is always the store. What percentage of your sales will the store keep? This can range from 30% - 50%. How often will they pay you? Most places will pay by check after the 15th of the following month. This seems to be pretty standard.
3. You can gather all of the items you plan to leave with the store and take a few pictures of the collection. This may come in handy not only to help identify missing items later, but if someone wants a pair of earrings to match a certain necklace, that photo will save you a trip to the store.
4. Now that you’ve left your product (you may want to start out with a small amount) at the store, create a file (I use a spreadsheet) identifying all of the items you left there. Use as much detail as you are comfortable with. You can start this with a copy of the consignment sheet you left at the store. I use an old fashioned 2-part receipt book and I make sure to get a signature on both copies before I leave. This signifies that they agree with the list of items you’ve left for them.
5. Each month, when you get your consignment report and sales check (hopefully), check the math and update your master list (spreadsheet). If possible, visit the store at least once a month to see how your work is displayed and to do a rough inventory check. If something looks awry, don’t be afraid to ask questions about whether or not something has sold. It may be “missing” or it may be caught in a timing situation – your visit may occur before the latest checks are written. Remember, you still own this inventory and will keep much better track of it than any store ever will, even those with computerized inventory systems.
6. What to do when a piece (or more!) is missing? Being able to produce all of your paperwork will give you a great advantage. If you can prove that you actually left the piece at the store (your signed consignment sheet), that you have not been paid for it (your consignment report from the store) and that it is not physically in the store (visual inspection), you have a good case for them to pay you for that piece.
7. Some people may say that wholesaling your work is a preferable arrangement - I say, yes and no. With wholesale, you get paid either immediately or within 30 days, whether the items have sold or not. But, the payoff may be much less, as wholesale pricing is generally 50% of retail. Many small art galleries are not in a position to make purchases of artwork. I like having my work displayed in those types of stores and am willing to go through the trouble of consignment to do so. One other never discussed part of wholesaling is this – what if your items don’t sell? With consignment, you can always trade-out one piece for another. When your items are owned outright by the store, they may end up in a sale basket in the back corner after a few months. Ask me how I know. It doesn’t feel very good.
BIG thanks to Vicki for taking the time to share her knowledge! If you're thinking about consignment, I hope this helps give a well-rounded view of what to expect. Not all experiences are as bad as mine was, and consignment can be a steady revenue source. If you currently consign with a shop or two, I'd love to hear your own stories!

Don't tweeze above your brows. Any fuzz above your brows creates an unflattering shadow, says New York City makeup artist Vivian Hidalgo of Minardi Salon. To pluck any strays above brows, Hidalgo suggests you look directly into a large mirror (do not tilt your chin up or down -- this distorts your view). And starting at the inner corner, tweeze one hair at a time. To prevent over tweezing, after you've plucked one row, step back from the mirror to check your progress.
Clear up a zit overnight with a dab of toothpaste. Models started sharing this so-called beauty secret, but the truth is, while the toothpaste does dry the blemish somewhat, it doesn't go far enough, according to NYC dermatologist Diane Berson, M.D. You'll get faster results with an over-the-counter acne treatment containing five percent benzoyl peroxide. Or try Neutrogena's On-the-Spot Acne Patch. (P.S. This absolutely works... I do it all the time!)
You absolutely need a lip liner. Not always. Neutral lip colors are more forgiving and less likely to show imprecise application. Typically, only dark or bright shades (like red) really need a liner, but makeup pro Kat James has an easier method that produces more natural-looking results: Smooth on lip balm, then apply lipstick to center of lips only. Next, spread the color toward the edges of lips with a lip brush; the lip balm helps dilute the color to create a softer stain, rather than the hard-edged look you'd get with lipstick and liner.
Put on concealer first, then foundation. Makeup maven Laura Mercier likes to apply foundation first to even out skin tone and provide a base for concealer to cling to. As a result, you use less of your concealer, which makes for a more natural look.
Rinse your hair with cold water to make it shine. The theory is that a final rinse with cold water after your shampoo seals the cuticle, helping it to reflect more light. But according to hair and scalp expert Philip Kingsley, author of Hair, An Owner's Handbook (Aurum Press, 1995), lowering the water temperature won't enhance shine. In fact, cold water constricts the blood vessels of the scalp, temporarily cutting off the supply of nutrients needed for healthy hair. What helps give hair a pretty sheen? Rinsing thoroughly so that no dulling shampoo residue remains on your hair.
Foundation should match the skin tone of your face. The surprising answer, according to Kat James, is that your foundation will look more natural if it matches your neck -- specifically, the area near the collarbone. The skin here has a touch more yellow to its undertone, while the face tends to be a little more pink or red. And the last thing you want is a foundation with pink -- it's aging and looks artificial.
Rub your wrists together after applying fragrance. Some fragrance experts feel that rubbing crushes delicate fragrance molecules, and, as a result, you don't get the true scent. But Annette Green, president of The Fragrance Foundation, disagrees -- unless you have oily skin. "Natural oils mixing with the fragrance before it dries might interfere with the scent," says Green. Allow the fragrance to dry naturally; it takes about ten minutes. (source: Freddys Fitness Zone)

Many beading books and resources tell us that it’s a good idea to create swatches of seed beads, to help with color selection. If you have a small piece of beadwork representing every color and finish in your stash, it’s easy to select just the right beads for every palette or project.
It’s a great idea, but if you’ve already got a large selection of beads on hand, it can seem like a pretty daunting task. Who wants to spend all that time making little square stitch samples when there’s jewelry to be made?
Being able to mix and match colors easily is a great way to experiment with color possibilities though. To solve part of the dilemma for myself, I dropped by my neighborhood paint store and picked up a selection of paint swatches in all the basic colors.
After cutting the cards into separate colored slips, it’s easy to create new and interesting palettes based on themes, moods or even memories. After playing with different colors, it’s just as easy to select beads that match, and make a stunning or intriguing piece of beadwork.
Here are three fun examples:
"Mermaid"
"Happy"
"Carnival Ride"
Try it yourself, and have a little fun with color!
