Welcome, former Polka Dot Creations customers!
I closed that book shop in 2012, but I have not given up polymer clay. There are a few things here you may enjoy:
Looking for something in particular?
Enjoy your visit!

Turquoise sky, periwinkle ocean, golden sand… it seems I brought a little bit of the Jersey shore home with me last week, and finally let it escape through my fingers. This is how I spent my Saturday: breakfasting, mixing clay colors, layering the colors in just the right order, arranging the textures to mimic the […]

So, I turned 38 today. I decided to give myself a gift, and as such, I spent the better part of last night and this morning making myself a pendant necklace. The tile features an organic design with bits of metal leaf, touches of sparkle, and hints of translucency throughout. I sanded it and polished […]
Read More: Birthday baublesI’m thinking that to live a creative life, you have to be pretty good at multitasking. For instance, you could be standing on your dining room’s built-in cabinet for a Bench Monday picture, just after you put the chicken in the oven and just before the handyman comes to give you an estimate on painting […]

That’s what I’m doing, at the moment, while a pile of claythings is baking in the oven: breathing. And it’s a good thing, because I think it may have slipped my mind for the last six hours, amidst all of my frenzied activity. I have a little craft show to do tomorrow night, and it […]

I miss the Hampton Inn. I miss the most comfortable mattress I’ve ever slept on, I miss the laptop power cord I accidentally left on the desk there, but most of all I miss the soap dish and lumbar pillow. I know that sounds weird, but they were my props for the photo shoot on […]

That’s what I think, anyway. Be back later or tomorrow. My computer time has been very limited this weekend. I’m off to play with more clay!

It all started last week, when I destroyed my new bamboo shirts and was left with nothing new to wear, despite several hours of work and even more hours of daydreaming about how nice those new bamboo shirts would have been to wear all spring and summer. That left me feeling distinctly dissatisfied, naturally, and […]

I’m getting excited for a class I am going to take next weekend in Philadelphia. I just booked my room, so I can easily hang around for the guild meeting the following day, and I’ve been spending this morning drooling over reacquainting myself with some of Julie Picarello‘s work. Most of the images that illustrate […]

Having a warehouse (er, basement) full of books for Polka Dot Creations puts me in a position to observe the relationship between a nice looking cover and the content inside the book. I’ve seen a fair amount of awful covers in my time, and while sometimes the book itself is truly awful, often the content […]

Saturday I sat down with my little bowl of buttons, and began to organize them by color and pattern. There is something strangely appealing about this activity for me. Seriously, I could probably re-arrange and re-organize them all day long and not get bored. But then, I’m weird that way. I had them out so […]
