A few months ago, I wrote an article on the generosity of polymer clay artists associated with Etsy. PCAGOE (Polymer Clay Artists Guild of Etsy) has approximately 90 members. One of the goals of that group is to help various charities with their art. I received the April issue today and they have printed my article. Donations by PCAGOE members are sent to numerous charities some of which are Pendants for a Purpose, Bottles of Hope, and Polymer Clay for a Cause, please visit this wonderful store and purchase an item for a very worthy cause.(

This past year, alphabet tiles were made by members and then reconstructed into a collage for a pediatric center. Several of these works of art now adorn several children's centers.
To read the entire article, pick up a copy of Polymer Cafe, April 2009 issue. And, thank you.
I first saw Eugena's magnificent flowers a while back. They amazed me with their life-like quality and beauty. She uses no molds or stamps and all her jewelry is sculpted by hand. In her shop at Etsy at Eugena777@etsy.com , you can also purchase tutorials to make these gorgeous flowers yourself.
The tutorials are extremely detailed. They show and explain every step of the project. Following these tutorials, you will be able to re-create the item shown on the cover of each tutorial and apply these new techniques for your future creations. The lovely necklace below shows her talent and sense of style. To see more of her work, please visit her Etsy store at Eugena777@Etsy.com or her blog at http://www.polymerclaychameleon/.
