Our real Christmas presents

Kayla and little bro, Tyler, at Christmas 2008. Grandma and Grampa's real presents!

I was very honored!

One of my Polymer Clay Artists Guild of Etsy associates, Lynda of SCDiva@Etsy.com wrote a beautiful article on me. I was so happy and honored to see this. So kind of her. Go here to see it - scroll down: http://scdiva.blogspot.com/

A work in progress

Here's a new pendant I am working on with a resin finish on top. The silver is silver leafing, adorned with ruby red and translucent flowers and an aanraku bail.

Alphabet Tile Project

This alphabet tile project was a collaborative effort of the some of the members of the Polymer Artists Guild of Etsy. Two different alphabets were done to be donated. Each letter was made by a different member and then reconstructed. (In this alphabet, I made the letter "P".) It has been donated to Stony Brook Hospital Pediatrics Center.

More pendants with resin

Working with resin certainly has a learning curve. Here are some of the newer pendants which I think are pretty much perfect.

Using Resin with Magic Paper Transfers

Here is one pendant I made using the Magic Paper Transfers. Since I wasn't happy with the finish, I tried using resin. There certainly is a learning curve with resin, but the results are well worth the effort. The finish is just gorgeous.
