I've just got the most exciting news this morning: pictures of my work had been published in the new book by Shirley Rufener by Polymer Clay Mixed Media Jewelry. I am so excited! Although my work had been published in different magazines before, this is my first publication in a book.

I have a new blog where I feature one Etsy polymer clay artist a day.  There are lots of talented people there!  Come see how different can polymer clay be: http://polymerclaychameleon.blogspot.com

Wow, Andy!  This piece is amazing!  I wish you lots of patience and good luck with the competition.  Please show us its picture when it is finished! By the way, did you finish your necklace, Isis with the wings?  Or did I miss its picture?

I have a huge list of places to sell hand-made goods (jewelry in particular) in today's post in my blog. I hope you will find it helpful.  

Janice, you work is beautiful, as always.  The second one is my favorite.  Nice combination of color, texture, and open spaces.
