Judy Dunn has a great post on artistic progression. I had a post contrasting something I really liked very early in my polymer clay work with something from my current work, but it “poofed” with that block of 4 months of posts.

I took some pictures of the polymer clay category of Bead Dreams. They’re not the greatest photos, lots of reflections etc. It’s wonderful to see the amazing array of work in the exhibit, but the layout of the exhibit is always disappointing. It’s in glass cabinets four shelves high. Some of […]
