A Brew and a Blether/Live Demonstration
I did a live demonstration in the Quernoholics Anonymous group on Facebook on Wednesday 16 September. In the demonstration, I made a little polymer clay pumpkin, and you can watch the live demonstration here. I then made a little mouse to live inside the pumpkin, and did a time-lapse video to show how I did this. You can watch the video here.
Several years ago, I wrote a tutorial about the process I use for making the pumpkin - you can read it here.

The next Quernus Shop Event will take place in my online shop on Sunday 27 September at 8pm. There will be quite a few Halloween Creatures taking part.
1 October - A Brew and a Blether/Live Demonstration
The next Brew and a Blether, held in the Quernoholics Anonymous group on Facebook, will take place at 8pm BST on Thursday 1 October. Will it be just a blether, or wlil it be a live demonstration AND a blether?! You'll just have to come along and find out! And if you're on Facebook, and a member of the QA group, you can catch up on previous ones here.
Everything you ever wanted to know but were afraid to ask...
I have just updated my FAQ page! I've been keeping this page for several years, based on questions I often get asked. There's lots of information in there, if you haven't come across it before.
And if you have a question that isn't answered there, do drop me a line and I'll add it to the list.
New collaboration launched
I'm delighted to announce the launch of a wonderful collaboration with Tara Slater of The Lesser Spotted Kiwi! Tara has created this beautiful illustration which captures everything that Quernus means to me :) We have created a special edition collectors' set (pictured) which includes a signed edition of the print, a Chick Magnet made by me, and a beautiful little wooden bunting stand made by Tara. A3 and A4 prints and greetings cards are also available.
I started the Happy Wee Creatures initiative during these "interesting times" to remind people that they are loved, appreciated and not alone. I will continue to send out Happy Wee Creatures to your special people for the foreseeable future - it's my way of giving something back and helping to make the world a happier place.
You can find out more about this initiative here, or drop me a line.
There was a time, not so very long along, when the cupboards were always bare in the Quernus shop. But since I started the Mini Shop Events, there are usually one or two wee creatures still available to adopt! So keep checking in to my online shop and see if there's a wee creature waiting just for you :)
Last summer, I was commissioned by DK Publishing to make five unicorns to be photographed for a children's pop-up book. After several months of keeping quiet, the book has now been published, and I love how they have captured each of the wee unicorns! You can buy the book on Amazon UK and Amazon.com.
