When Maggie Maggio quietly fiddles and fusses at a retreat, you know that she’s brewing a new scheme. She generously agreed to share with you her latest development, polymer clay split ring chains. Making this design was a relaxing way to look busy, get rid of scrap and have great looking new jewelry. By the end of the week we had heaps of links. I got out my camera and you can see the resulting video in the right column.
Students of Maggie and Lindly’s color book will probably pounce on the concept and come up with great variations. We only scratched the surface. Many thanks to Maggie for showing us her new method which she’s calling Maggie’s Missing Link.

Brilliant!! Simply brilliant! Maggie’s architectural background brings a discipline I totally lack, but really REALLY appreciate. I’m with Barbara… my brain is exploding with the possibilities.
I can’t wait to get to my craft room. This is just BRILLIANT! Thanks for sharing!
So very clever! I really enjoyed the video and am sitting here thinking there must not be a limit of what polymer clay can do because people just continue to amaze me with it!
Thank you Maggie and Cynthia!
