When I first created this shop, it was designed around my work at the time, which was almost entirely in Millefiori Polymer Clay. It worked well at the time.

As I mentioned yesterday, we’re in the middle of an ice storm here. Schools are closed, and there’s a layer of the slippery stuff over everything in sight. We’ve had so many snow days in just a single month, that the kids will be in school until July at this rate. So, winter is not […]
