From the monthly archives:
Grape, chocolate, kiwi, mandarin orange, avacado, blueberry, raspberry, mango, papaya and mint. Lindly Haunani’s 2006 colors make you hungry for more. In her hands polymer clay looks alive and edible.
If you’re feeling shy and tentative about your colors, if your supply of gray waste clay is larger than it should be, sign up for [...]

This Tuscan landscape is a recent work from Bettina Welker from Germany. It’s a nice twist on the bangle bracelet originally developed by Margaret Regan. It’s especially noteworthy because it was Bettina’s first landscape cane.
Sometimes when you run into a technique that resonates with your artistic sensibilities, things just "click". It looks like Bettina’s [...]

Just for grins….Dan Cormier’s self-portrait "Astronaut Inro" was made for the "Moves in Polymer Clay" invitational at The Brookfield Craft Center in Connecticut in 2003. The space boy is Dan at age 6.
This is the most complex and ambitious inro project Dan says he’s ever tackled. It even has its own ‘flying saucer’ display [...]
