From the monthly archives:
Christopher Malone's creations are an exciting hybrid of realistic dolls with amazing facial expressions of polymer clay and fantastical creatures with wild dress and embellishment. They range in size from 14-inch "magic hands" to 7 1/2-foot stilt dancers and are simply spectacular.
What a surprise to come across this Ohio-born artist who's living in Washington, D.C. [...]

I'm looking forward to a vacation with polymer friends who are wonderful artists and some of whom produce works only for trade, for gifts and for the sheer enjoyment. So I doubt you'll find Colorado's Carol Simmons with a big web site any time soon but you shouldn't miss her work.
These two beads (photos [...]

Whenever I'm feeling boring and uninspired (or if it's Friday), I head to France for a pick-me-up. Their design flare is like a refreshing splash of water on my face.
Take a look at the work of Sandrine Gazzera from Toulouse, France. (Cendrillon, the name of the site, translates to Cinderella.) The site is fun to [...]

See Marie Segal's bright gradations (and wild fingernails), Syndee Holt's painted polymer, Cassy Muronaka's lentil bead demo, [...]

I don't understand this genre but I do very much admire it. Amann has degrees in fine arts and make-up and years of experience [...]

Ponsawan Sila is from Thailand and Indianapolis. She has a charming web site and though she is relatively new to polymer she has a great touch and a nice sense of color.
A purse maker asked her to make buttons for her one-of-a-kind creations and she came up with the lovelies pictured here.
By experimenting with [...]

We've got another polymer clay illustrator to add to our list and she's from my home town. Don't know how I missed her before.
Jeanette Canyon has created award-winning illustrations for three childrens books for Dawn Publications. Her work is complex and her abundant use of pattern, color and texture is engrossing. And I love [...]
