I first met Betty in February 2009 when she wandered into my Etsy shop, CreativeSpiritToo and in her words, "just had to have some of my beads." When I checked out her shop, LvsBeadsNThings, I was initially impressed by her unique and original designs but once she created a finished design with my Mokume gane Chocolate Blue beads, I fell in love with her style and eye for design and became a

A month has already passed since the last PCAGOE Team Challenge. Time sure flies! This month's theme is "faux". How can polymer clay masquerade as something else? Like turquoise, gemstones, leather, bone, shells, ivory, rock, marble, snakeskin, fossils and more. Well, it can, in so many amazing ways. Here are just a few examples of how it can.Click on the photo to the left to see the

Let me start off by telling you something about Chris Courtney. Besides being a beautiful person, inside and out, she is a talented artist, painter, sculptor, jewelry designer/teacher and mother of 5 wonderful children with another one the way in July. That in itself makes her amazing and in my opinion, Wonder Woman! Her husband and children are her most ardent supporters, always there for her

A month or so ago, Melissa Pinick wandered into my shop and purchased a pair of beads made with one of my favorite blends of clay, a mokume gane blend of rich, pearlized blues, greens and gold leaf.Mokume Gane, which translates to "wood-eye metal", is an ancient Japenese metalworking technique mimiced by polymer clay artists. In this case, gold leaf is carefully placed between multiple layers of

Spring has spring here in Minnesota and as the days get longer and warmer, I see my friends and neighbors in their yards, getting ready for life in the great outdoors. Out comes the patio furniture, the lawn ornaments, the grill... all in preparation for summer fun and outdoor entertaining around the pool (before the mosquitoes arrive).Invitations go out for graduation parties, family get
