I hand-form every piece of polymer clay jewelry. All colors are original colors of
clay, there is no paint applied. I use several techniques including caning, engraving,
weaving, layering, and many others for which I don’t have names. I add beads and
wires to compliment clay work. Ear wires and wires are sterling silver; necklaces are
either sterling silver, 19 strands stainless steel Beadalon, or rubber.


It was a fund raising activity for my temple that got me into polymer clay in
2004. It is a long story with lots of twists and turns. I guess people might be able to
make a movie out of it. I'm not the leading actor though!
I used to work as a full-time researcher with a specialty in environmental
remediation. I worked in Oak Ridge, TN for 6 years, so you know I glow in the dark!
During the end of year 2006 was a turning point in my life, many unexpected things
happened one after another. And I chose to become a full time craft artist. It was one
of the best choices I've ever made in my life.
