My Bio
Over the years I have accumulated many skillsets with regards to crafts - folk art painting, ceramics, wheat weaving, wood carving, pyrography - but the last 3 years I have been exploring the world of Polymer Clay.
There are a myriad of excellent teachers, books, and YouTube videos - this medium allows for experimentation with textures, additions, colours, the sky's the limit! I'm hoping that the posting of my work, over time, will show my progress.
For those who are not familiar with Polymer Clay (and I capitalize it because from now on I'll refer to it as PC!), it is a medium that is extremely versatile, pliable, constantly changing, and addictive! You can start with one 2 oz block of clay and after massaging it to 'excite' the polymers by using a rolling pin or running it through the dedicated pasta machine, you rip off a piece, roll it around the palms of your hands, break off another piece, shape into a block, cut it in half, push it on (clay sticks to itself), don't like what you're making, smash it together, start again.  What? You have 2 colours - all the more fun - roll, stack,
