The Winter CHA (Craft and Hobby Association) Trade Show in Anaheim California 2012


Written by Jennifer Tattam, METALCLAY AUSTRALASIA.

Lex was approached by Makin's USA in January 2012 after they became aware of an article featuring her outstanding Makin's Clay "Dragon Keeper" Sculpture. The article was in the USA's Polymer Cafe Magazine.
In Jan 2012 Makins asked Lex if she would send them a couple of her Makin's sculptures to use at the Winter CHA (Craft and Hobby Association) Trade Show in Anaheim California. (As you can see her work is a beacon of beauty and sculptural perfection). Makin's Clay USA have since commissioned Lex to create more work that will be used in Magazines and other events to promote Makin's Clay.

I am thrilled for Lex and the international exposure this will give her, she SO deserves this. Lex has been an advocate and big fan of Makin's Clay since I first started distributing it in 2006. Her ideas with Makin's Clay and use of Liquid Makin's especially, is ground breaking. We have some outstanding creative talent in Australia to celebrate and many are part of our own CCIP program.

Lex is amongst the very best in her field and those of us who are fortunate enough to have access to her classes, talent and as a wonderful unpretentious, caring, generous human being are truly blessed.

A million Congratulations Lex!
Jen
