\"Jana<\/a>I am still in the midst of traveling, although I am feeling a little giddy on the\u00a0overdose of art I took\u00a0in the last day and a half\u00a0as a we wandered about Paris waiting to take\u00a0our bus down to Toulouse last night. I’m going to share one more beautifully polished piece, then next week I will be settled in the south of France and we’ll see what I find among the polymer pals and the little villages we’ll be exploring.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, enjoy a simple but perfectly polished pendant by the amazing\u00a0Jana Roberts Benzon<\/a>. I picked this one for two reasons … one, it really displays how well\u00a0cane\u00a0shows when the surface is so well finished. Also, this image\u00a0comes from a page with a tutorial<\/a> for making this impressive little piece. So there’s a little project for you to do this weekend to practice that challenge I posed Monday to work on perfecting the finish in your work. The beauty and impact of a beautiful finish will\u00a0make the effort well worthwhile!<\/p>\n

If you’re wondering what Jana has been up to lately, take a look at her\u00a0website<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0her Flickr photostream<\/a>\u00a0as well as checking out\u00a0her classes on CraftEdu<\/a>, her own DVDs, and her workshop schedule. She is definitely a great person to learn from.<\/p>\n

Passez un bon week-end!<\/p>\n
