"I do not have a mailing address for the ISEA to thank you all for the wonderful scholarship.  I was so fortunate to be able to use it in the Carol Simmons Master Caning in Polymer Clay May 21 through 27 and learned so much.  She had us select colors from a photograph by using color selector on our computer and making up color samples to do our clay blending before designing our canes.  Then we learned a variety of cane styles and then these were assembled into a large cane. (the largest I have ever made and reduced).  When this was completed we took thin slices and assembled them to make a kaleidoscope design.  I have enclosed photos of some of the progressions.  Really a great workshop and I will put it to practice. 

Thanks again for the wonderful scholarship and your encouragement."
