Marlene, If you continue with polymer clay you will find that the small corner of your basement will not be enough, the stuff keeps mulitplying, because you will not be able to stop buying all the lush colors that are on the market.

Funny this should come up now. I recently pulled out the clay beads I made with my girls last year and implemented them into some jewelry- how fun!!! Thanks for this post!

I've taken several workshops from Christi Friesen, who also makes "claying" look easy. Her website, cforiginals.com, has many examples of her charming work.

An online source for those interested in what others are doing in polymer is polymerclaydaily.com. You can spend a whole day following links and being amazed at the artistry of the experts.

Thanks for the informative article!

I can remember when, about 13-15 years ago, I was on an e-mail list for beading and we were such clay snobs! It was not REAL beading, we would say, and we would fuss about Bead and Button featuring polymer artists! Clay has certainly come a long way - and, thankfully, so have we! Thank you for featuring this media!
