Deb Tuchsen - Rengalsa (Renaissance Gal of San Antonio)

From San Antonio, Texas comes Deb Tuchsen. She is an amazing artist with a knowledge of many different mediums, but her polymer clay art is so unique and different.



She is a true artist having a love also for drawing and photography. One of her areas of expertise is portraiture - taking people's family photos and making drawings or paintings for a family heirloom.



Her polymer clay work involves customizing canes for beads for school and college jewelry and custom face canes. The school and college jewelry has her own design of a school or college logo in the school colors and many of the designs are used for fund-raising purposes. You can contact her to discuss a custom order at http://www.rengalsa.etsy.com/.
She also makes adorable face canes which she turns into wonderful jewelry. The face canes are intricate, detailed canes with varying skin tones and hair colors - some even with mustaches! They are so true-to-life and would make a beautiful custom gift for mothers, grandmothers, or teachers.

I promised myself I would start promoting my guild members on my blog and the first person I chose is Christi of Rivervalleydesign. Christi lives in Michigan. She has the most unique and beautiful pendants. She shows how very diverse polymer clay is as an art medium and is truly a great artist.

Transfer Focal Bead

Here's a new style focal bead I'm working on with transfers. This will be the center or focal point of a new necklace.
