Jody Bishel shows a wide range of polymer works (from bugs to bubble wands) on her photo site. These faux metal "polymer amulets" are intriguing. She’ll be teaching her methods at Brookfield Craft Center in Connecticut next week.
Thanks to Libby Mills for the tip. Oh, and Libby gives viewers a peek into her studio on her site. I’m a voyeur of studios and hers is fun.

Here’s a fun site from Mary Walsh of Rhode Island. You’ll want to check out her clever "brag bead" bracelets.
I was most taken with her drawer knobs and custom pieces which show nice handling of color (from muted to punchy) and lots of experimenting with design (from quilts to Japanese inspirations).
I’d be nowhere without tips from viewers. Thanks to Susan Rose for this one.

Seattle’s Sarah Wilbanks uses her collection of small paintings and drawings to provide inspiration for her sterling and polymer transfer pieces. “I’ve got bits of wallpaper, a print from my grandmother’s dress, old photos of a French language book for kids…there are so many different historical things I find.â€
She crafts the bezels and then cuts precise circles and ovals from the baked polymer. Sarah’s jewelry is available through Facèré Jewelry Art Gallery in Seattle. You can read about her process here.

Helen Breil has posted photos of some great new work. Her technique will be featured in the fall issue of Step-by-Step Beads.
Textures are her latest focus and she’s designed some new pattern sheets that will be available later this year through Shades of Clay.
