Seattle’s Susan Hyde makes the most wonderful polymer fabrics to dress her sassy blondes. Susan is one of those polymer artists who lurks in the background. She’s rarely in shows and sells only locally. You’ll see her work in many books, however.
I’ll hound her to get better pictures so that you can witness the colorful detail in her work.
Perhaps when she retires from her day job in the spring we can coax her into showing us more. In the meanwhile, you’ll have to email her to get in touch.

Here’s a new discovery (new to me anyway) from upstate New York. Loretta Lam calls her work "primitive modern."
Browse her site, Trinkets Gallery, for a selection of very nice work. Thanks to Ronna Sarvas Weltman who alerted us to Loretta’s site.

Humbug…no shopping for me. I’m going to stay home and work on my polymer clay projects. For my money there’s nothing better than a handmade, heartfelt gift. These beautiful bugs are from Babs Young in Michigan.
I’ll admit that I look forward to the holiday art shows (our Winterfair starts later this week) to see what’s new. Let me know what you spot at your local shows….remember to take your camera along.

While browsing through reports from the Philadelphia Craft Show, I came across this link to a great felt artist. Looks an awful lot like polymer, doesn’t it? See more below. Felt seems to be the new polymer this season.
Below is a picture of felt ornaments from another artist…quilling meets felt which could be polymer. The cross-pollination is great.
