I In the beginning I planned to make only non-jewelry items, but how can you work with Polymer Clay without making beads and creating all kinds of jewelry? So eventually I ventured into jewelry-making, using either slices of my canes in combination with seed beads, or using slices to create beautiful round beads which I assembled in combination with macrame knots, a look I like very much. By now, my “full range of products” includes also barrettes, eyeglass holders, pins, tie clips and pens. Lately, I have been making what I call “pillows”, and I use those either as pendants on sterling silver necklaces with beautiful, highly unusual twisted beads or on bola-style seed bead necklaces or in combination with differently shaped beads in full, elaborate necklaces.
I have been taking classes with wellknown Polymer Clay Artists such as Kathleen Dustin, Lindly Haunani, Cynthia Toops, Gwen Gibson, Karen Lewis (aka Klew) and, most recently, with Sarah Shriver and attended lectures by Tory Hughes, Pier Voulkos, Margaret Maggio and Laura Liska-Oakes. And while I learned and explored new techniques, I find myself always going back to Millefiori, as I truly enjoy creating my signature intricate designs. |
