I have fond memories of her building these collages bit by bit over several days, her sewing machine purring quietly in the corner of the messy polymer workshop.

Dayle has wonderful ways of [...]

Maureen’s beads remind me that when the colors are right, as in these "summer sherbet" colors, the technique is enlivened. They tickled my fancy on this [...]

The tip came from Christie Wright whose Dragonfly Lane [...]

Mandy Rentmeester van Goeije from the Netherlands has been working quietly in polymer clay for 10 years. The bonanza of supplies and guilds and classes that we in the US enjoy aren’t available in her country.
Mandy did what enterprising artists around the world are doing. She created a web presence, joined an online guild [...]
