First she got us into museums, now Elise Winters has put polymer on the fashion runways.
How cool is it that Elise’s polymer clay ruffle neckpieces were featured on models in Cynthia Rowley’s Fall 2010 runway show during NY Fashion Week?
You can catch some of the glam in the video here.
In the February issue of Get Creative magazine you can read more about Elise and her remarkable story (download the article here). As she says, “I don’t believe in talent, I believe in drive and perserverance.”
Support Elise’s museum efforts by clicking on the Polymer Collection donate button in the right column.

I always thought that the work of Elise Winters got closer to the work of sewing, with the ribbon worked in Dodge and weave(Bias), i’m not sure of the words :-)), the starching etc….
The link is made with this show, but the glam and shine is for Elise!
Thanks for this post!

What beautiful work and the fashion show inclusion and highight is both a coup and tribute to such a talented and hard-working artist who has been instrumental in bringing respect and recognition to PC as a viable art medium.

Elise’s pieces (rhyme not intended!) are _perfect_ for the runway – of all the polymer work out there, I can think of none more appropriate for this ‘venue’. And, no suprise that it is Elise who has attained this accomplishment – drive and perserverance, undoubtedly yes, but I also admire what I view as her incredible, spot-on talent. A hearty congratulations to her..

Polymer clay can look so delicate while being so strong – can’t think of a better symbol to march down the runway!
Elise ,
