Sweden’s Lena Wennberg adds a few angry polymer birds in with her Easter eggs this year.
“My hens are in menopause, probably got PMS as well,” she says, “And they are sick of giving and giving. They are keeping their eggs this easter. They won´t be beautiful, they won´t be nice.”

Portland’s Sofie and Nicolas (bewilderandpine) operate three Etsy shops offering small polymer HO scale views of the world including this French country windmill from “The Hermitage” series. The miniatures can be used for model railroad layouts and other collectors.
“The designs of all of our Hermitage series buildings are also meant to be a charmingly simple reminder of the necessity for simplicity, solitude and for peace within our daily lives,” says the artist. Additional small treasures include houses from Venice, Provence, Santa Fe and beyond.
Their other shops focus on finger puppets and ancient Egyptian amulets.The link to these small, nostalgic pieces comes from Genevieve Williamson.
In the same vein, C. Rohal offers an array of miniature polymer teapots and flowers. This one measures 3/4″ and is hollow with a removable lid. These tiny treasures are loaded with details.

Today is the year’s biggest shopping day or “Black Friday” as it’s known in the U.S. and Mags Bonham’s polymer purse necklace looked like an appropriate symbol for the day.
There’s even a replica of a tiny Kathleen Dustin evening bag in the group.
Art Jewelry Magazine editor Hazel Wheaton picked these pieces for some of her annual favorites. Mags created a series of “Our Purses, Ourselves” which looks at the items that women choose to lug around in our bags. Here’s her necklace and her charm bracelet that winks at the items we carry with us.
Hang on to your pocketbook and enjoy the weekend!
