Welcome to My Website:
​Learn my Latest News and Please Explore My Website for New Work and Items for Sale:


​My polymer clay and beaded jewelry and decorative designs are meant for both fun and fancy. The possibilities of polymer are unlimited and appeal to my 'earthy' approach to the process, colors, and designs of my jewelry. My jewelry and decorative designs in polymer clay often include beads, wire, natural or semi-precious stone, and various surface treatments creating one-of-a-kind statement pieces, simple pendants, unique decorative items, and many styles in-between.

WHERE TO FIND MY WORK

  • Come see me and shop at the Bernardo Winery Fall Arts and Crafts Fair in October 15th and 16, 2022! I ‘ll be in my usual spot - booth #20 located in the Merlot parking lot. Hope to see you there!
​
  • NEW place to find my work: Bronze, Silver, Gold Gallery, 786 Main Street, Cambria, CA 93428, 805-927-5421. Almost 1 year ago, I was visiting this beautiful jewelry and art gallery on CA's Central Coast. In conversation with Franceska Alexander, the owner, she suggested that she might be interested in having some polymer clay vessels to display and sell. She encouraged me to "think about vessels". Just this past week (July 11th), I delivered 4 vessels with image transfers and pine needle rims for sale. (See Decorative Items tab at top of this page). You must contact the gallery for purchase: 805-927-5421. Other vessels are available through my website.

​Exhibit In Berlin, Germany

​Through my clay-mate Denise, I learned about an opportunity to participate in an art installation in Berlin, Germany (with possible second event in Cyprus). We were asked to use a specific mokume gane technique named the Bob Ross Sunset by originator You- Tuber Phimo - aka Philip Wiegard.

​It was challenging and fun. My piece is titled After the Storm, portrayed in a southwestern landscape with cacti in the foreground. It is approximate 6.5" X 12" and has been framed by the exhibitors and remains in Berlin.

 Learning New Techniques:
These last 3 years have been a HUGE learning opportunity, of course, via ZOOM.  I made the most of many free offerings ( US and International) and participated in "Clayathon" with more than 300 people from around the globe.  Some of my classes included:
  • Using Genesis Paints on Polymer Clay
  • Creating Mobiles with Wire and Polymer
  • Complex Patterns in Polymer Clay
  • Meditative Magic (graphic leaves)
  • Bear Sculpture: Animal Armatures
AND 
  • I taught myself to weave pine needles and decorate the rim of polymer bowls with them.  See new vessels on Decorative Items tab at top of this page.
