INCREDIBLE

These incredible colors are from the shop of Valerie B. Krohn, NovaFolia.etsy.com. Her technique combines inlay and marbleized clays in many bright tones.

VERSATILE

Sculpted creations by Mary Ellen (Beetree by M.E.) portray the versatility of polymer clay itself. I am amazed by the array of her creative ideas. Here are just a few of my favorites: Heads and Tails refrigerator magnets, fairy pendant, and a mini-vase pin that can hold real flowers. Visit her shop and blog for more.

DEVOTED

These dog pins are from dreameyce.etsy.com – a shop dedicated to dogs only. Any breed you want! And if this is not enough, there are more pictures on Emily's web site, www.dreameyce.com and blog dreameyce.com/blog.

COLLECTABLE

Ford and Forlano opened a shop on Etsy.com to sell their earlier works (dated late 80's and early 90's). Isn't it amazing how their style changed over the years?

See their more recent works on their web site.

FUNKY

These funky face focal beads/pins are from the shop of Kim Cavender.

Kim says: “My philosophy is that life's too short to eat cheap ice cream and far too short to be ordinary.” These focals are surely not ordinary!

You can see more of Kim's artwork in her blog and photo album.
