The Preferred Place for Clay Push Molds


Dear Readers,

Do you know where to find your inspiration? Is it in nature? or a good book? Maybe you find it by browsing online galleries? We often find our inspiration by digging out our craft supplies and sorting through what we have and listing items we need to finish projects. By the time we get them, we are so full of excitement the creativity just spills out of control. :) If you are stuck and in need of inspiration for your next project, I invite you to join us over on Pinterest!  We have a nice assortment of pins that will have you jumping back into your studio and out of that creative rut in no time. 

When starting all those fun new projects it's easy to get carried away, so be sure to read this months article "Don't Erase - Embrace!" Once you embrace your creative mind, there’s a good chance you’ll find you can’t imagine your life without being creative every day.

Please take the time to sit back and enjoy this issue of My Molds!

All the best,
Marjorie with Mad About Molds

We Deliver Worldwide

We aim to have to lowest international shipping as possible, but due to the USPS rate increase we had no other choice, but to raise our international rates as well. This is unfortunate, but we continue to use the most affordable shipping company available to us at this time. Some of our customers have found ways to get around this price increase. These may not all be the best idea for you, but you might find something that works for you.    

Some of these options include the following.
• Have your order sent to a friend or relative who lives in the U.S. that will be traveling to visit (or vice-versa) in the the near future.
• If you have a friend who would also like to order, the two of you should consider ordering together and split the shipping between the two of you.
• Plan ahead. If you plan on ordering many times during the year, consider ordering everything you want in one order. By paying more now, you will save later.
• If you order many products from the U.S. have them all shipped to a friend in the U.S. who can combine all the orders in one box to be sent to you at a lower rate.
• Consider our molds an investment, by ordering extra molds, you can sell your creations, to actually make money from your molds.
• Also consider yourself lucky that the postal service will deliver to you oversees, by air and through crazy weather at a much cheaper rate then other delivery services.
• Lastly, our molds are a great value! You may ask why. Click here to find out! :)

Free Electronic Delivery Confirmation will be available for select packages and mail classes to select international locations.
All International orders will be shipped using “First-Class Mail® International Package”


 


Don't Erase - Embrace!

Some things in life–kids; dogs; art–just don’t much much sense. Until you look back and try to imagine your life without them.
My husband and I, we weren’t too wild about kids–until we had kids.
We weren’t too crazy about dogs, either–until we got a dog.
So what, you say? What does this have to do with art?
I’m saying there are some things you can’t make a rational decision about. Until you jump in and embrace them fully.
Kids. Dogs. Art.
Stand on the outside, and it doesn’t look very practical. It’s all very well to say “Follow your bliss, and the money will follow.” It’s another thing to wonder just how you’ll pay the mortgage with that fancy art degree you just got.
If you’re on the outside looking in, it’s very easy to say, “Well, there’s just no way.”
Some people take a quick peek, but say, “Well, it’s just not a good time. Maybe next year.” To which my mother wisely said, “It’s never a good time to have children.”
This was some of the best advice I’ve ever gotten. Because once you step inside that world, you will somehow find a way to make it work.

Because you have to.
Some of us cobble it together. We work part-time at our art, and have a day job somewhere else. We take on other creative ways to generate income: Teaching, writing, consulting. Or we work full-time at our craft while a spouse, hopefully following their passion, carries the bulk of the financial load. Some of us do a lot of production work that pays for the big intuitive projects, the ‘big art’, that may or may not ever sell. Some of us actually hire other people to help us get our vision out into the world, and we end up running a real business with real employees and sick days and benefits packages.
It’s all okay.
The important thing is, we knew deep down inside we had to do this–and we do it.
Something inside said, “If you don’t do this, there’s a chance you won’t miss it.
But there’s a bigger chance you’ll passed by the opportunity to experience something really, really important.”
Art isn’t for everyone. Just like kids and dogs aren’t for everyone.
But once you embrace that destiny, there’s a good chance you’ll find you can’t imagine your life without it.
