a new love

Over the weekend I made the most lovely discovery...the world of polymer clay. at first my interest was out of necessity, and now it has become an addiction. We will be teaching a class on this crazy clay, so I was in charge of testing it out. At first I was reminded of Carol Duval, anyone without a 9-5 and a lot of free time on their crafty hands will know exactly who I am speaking of. Carol is the queen of sweet eyed little polymer clay creatures of all sorts, to the point of making me cringe. Don't get me wrong I was a devoted viewer while I maintained my evening restaurant job, but the clay people, cats, whatever just gave me cutesie rage! So to my delight I am learning the amazing world of polymer clay is more than these things. I have posted a few images of my dabbling.

I hope to create some more flawless flowers

for etsy (www.designbyjen.etsy.com) in the near future.
