Blog Address: ha!  I tried myself, but was a terrible poohead about the daily…  I joined a group of metalclayartisans and we group blog http://metalclaymagic.com
What social media are  you on? facebook, twitter, linked in, I drop in a few from time to time, I like Pinterest, but don’t surf enough to contribute
Favorite quote:   “Peace, it makes such a pretty sound”  INXS (yup)
Hot technique or tip:  just before firing, when all sanding and fine tuning have been done, I rub my work with my fingers until it feels really smooth.
Favorite tool:  LiL BeLLA of course.   I really like my little camping thermos.  I can put hot water into it with LOS, close tightly and take it with me to workshops or lessons to patina silver clay and I can just cap it and take it with me when I leave so no one is offended after I’m finished.
