There’s a freshness and energy in the Polymer Clay Artist’s Guild of Etsy. They’re a "street team," a grass-roots group actively engaged in getting the word out about Etsy.com and the value of buying handmade goods directly from the maker.
Each member must have at least five polymer clay items listed in his/her Etsy shop at all times. Its membership is geographically and philosophically diverse.
Check out the current featured Etsy artist, Marcia Palmer from Georgia whose work displays a wide range of styles and techniques. She uses rubber stamps in unusual ways that reflect a strong sense of style and message. Keep your eye on these folks.

Marcia’s work is gorgeous and she was the winner of one of the groups monthly challenges. We have about 75 members and everyone does something different.

The Greater Atlanta Polymer Clay Guild is also proud to claim Marcia as one of our members. And we’re happy to see her beautiful and exotic work featured here. She makes beautiful jewelry – some of her bracelets are just to die for!!!

I am very drawn to the Asian influence in Marcia’s work. Her amulets and collage pieces are stuninng, and her hearts are charming (plus you can’t help but love her tag line for them). Thanks for sharing her work!

[…] Mmmm. Very at odds with the internet lately, particularly blogs. All this buy-web-comments and pay-per-post nonsense is getting way out of hand. I’ve seen bloggers disguise commercial links or place them amongst actual content in a confusing way, even redirect outgoing urls in such a way as to keep you coming back to their blog. Muy uncool if you ask me. If someone has a blog with ads and they’re straight-forward about it, more power to ’em. But a blogger who uses every deceitful trick in the book to bloat stats, or sells out readers to make a buck, should get his or her ass kicked! Look, in a very real sense, a blog IS its readers, so it doesn’t matter if you have 3 a day or 3000 — each and every one deserves consideration. Whew. Okay. Feel better now. So let’s share a bit of the good stuff, shall we? I say “bit” because i still haven’t finished yesterday’s to-dos, dagnabbit!! Need a chuckle? Rabbids and The Tour de France. (notcot) Fine Little Films: Solar. The Cold Rush. A Tale of Rock. La Mendiga y las Bolsas. Insight. I Lived On The Moon. Mister Coo. Paper Forest has a whimsical cat to show you, Polymer Clay Daily discusses PCAGOE, while Polymer Clay Notes takes us on a stroll by the sea. More of a minimalist m’self, but if you’re the creative type, you can custom skin iGoogle with this little dealio. In Games: Square Meal. FreeGamesNews. Covert Front Episode 1. Big 2006 Compo. A Bark in The Dark. Revisiting: Street Art NYC. Mars-1. Baby Changing Station. Cow. Ephemera of The Day: Hippopotamouse. Listening To: Poe. (MySpace) Found Sentence: Post-It Notes were developed as a cheaper, more humane alternative to Post-It Newts. Hmmmm… if only i had a dollar for every time someone said, wrote or typed “spider-pig” over past six days. “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.” Albert Einstein As it happens, i’ve caused myself serious injury with (among other things) a kazoo, an inner tube, and even a newspaper ad — all in the name of trying something new (fyi: blowing up the bathroom technically wasn’t MY fault). In fact, it would be hard to argue that i’m not the poster child for uber unbrilliance. Surely, though, i cannot be the lone moronopus. What less than wise or embarrassing thing have you done? C’mon, fess up. […]
Second Look - Marcia Palmer, Loretta Lam at Polymer Clay Daily ,
[…] Marcia Palmer has refined and expanded her ethnic looking ivories, chunky bracelets and stamped switchplates since we last visited her. She has a bold, decorative style comes through no matter what technique she uses or what item she embellishes. I subscribe to her “Home is where the art is” philosophy. Thanks to Ronna Weltman for reminding us to look Marcia up. […]
