Hello you all,
Finally I am able to post messages and react on other messages.
Life is hard when you are a bit afraid of computers and when they do things you do"'nt expect them to do.
I am Dorine ,I am from the Netherlands and new to this forum.
I am happy With all the information I did find here and it opened my eyes for new ways of working.
I have been working with PM during my work as a teacher,as a mother ,at school when my kids had that age and I helped with creativitylesssons at there school discovered and finally idiscovered that I liked to do it for myself.I made bowls ,jewellery ,things to decorate.etc.
After that I had a stof of more than 5 years ,telling myself I needed to pick it up again and then...do nothing with it.
This summer I started again and I wondered why I did'nt do this before.
I like to experiment ,inclusive the faillures.They learn me a lot.
My appollogies when my English is not so good ,I just try.
My last purchase for PM is the coffeegrinder.It seems to be a good toy for me.
You will hear from me again.

Welcome! 
I am "new" here, as well..although I have been lurking for ages..lol. I visit almost every morning, to read the posts..and I LOVE to check out all of the new gallery adds! Everyone here, is so very inspirational...awesome work!
I have worked with PM, for a few years...and currently have a host of projects going on, at once. I do have a problem with completion...as while I work on one project, I get tons of new ideas, start another, ...so on , and so on..lol. I sit here, right now..looking at 4 PM projects...begging for my attention. 
( SO...I vow to finish them..so as to place them in my very own gallery!
I am a single Mom, and Mixed Media Artist. I have 2 beautiful kiddo's...one with special needs...so, I work from home. Tend to kids, do a lil' artwork, tend to kids, do a lil' artwork...you get the idea. 
I don't think I have ever met a medium that I didn't like! PM, is high on the list, of course. I am especially excited, as I just acquired a supplier of the, most fine...powder like..sawdust. I plan on working with that a little, today. It's the "little things"..that excite me so!
Anyway...I am happy to be here, and look forward to participating, and getting to know you all better.
Sincerely..
Paulette

I should have checked my message before I posted it.I made typefaults.Sorry.
Paulette ,nice that you posted too.
I have the same problem as you have.I am working on more than one object at the same time too.
When I am busy , several other ideas come up and I hardly can wait to start another experiment.
With PM you have to wait till it dried ,so you have the possibility to start something new,use the dryingtime[is that a word?].

Welcome to the board, fellow PMers!
Perfect English is not required here, so don't worry about that. If we don't understand what you mean, we shall ask.
I had to laugh at Paulette's "problem with completion"!
YES, YES, YES! Just think of it as "complete drying time" and move on when you can.

Thanks for the welcome jimo, and Sue!
YES!..Creativity is a constant. I will count my blessings, though..because it's much worse to be stuck without any creative notions..been there, too...yikes!
And Messy...My creativity is never "clean"..lol! Try as I might, to keep my workspace tidy...it never stays that way. I have to laugh, when I hear of things being stuck to cats, kids, etc...because it is JUST like that, at my house! :p
Here's wishing you all a peaceful, productive day!

Welcome Jimo and Paulette. Here we have many good information to share.
I make the same you do. I work in many pieces at the same time but I don't think that is a problem. Other day I've tried to make a pig but my work has succeeded in a dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-((((((( But no problem it was nice and funny!!
Nice to meet you here.

Thanks, Shali
Yes..many works evolve into something other than we originally intended. That's part of the beauty of creation, I think. (Not unlike us, eh?) For whatever reason, you had a dog that was ready to be born. The pig must have gotten sidetracked, in the creation line...maybe by a doughnut, or something..lol. (Please forgive...just drinking my first cup of coffee..hehe)
Happy Thankgiving...or Turkey Day (to those who celebrate)..and Happy Day, to all.
