I have been having fun playing about with some different polymer clay faux effects. Here I have combined a faux mahogany cane with a faux spiderweb turquoise to make a stylish ring. This will be my workshop project for Polymania UK 2016! You can find information about the other projects being taught by Donna Kato, Bettina Welker and Claire Wallis on the Polymania 2016 page.

Polymania UK 2015 was a brilliant 3 day polymer clay workshop full of fun! I know I had a lot of fun teaching and creating with friends old and new and from the feedback I’ve had I know everyone else had a fab time too!

They’ll be available for sale at my next exhibition which isn’t until November at the Totterdown Arts Trail so I’ve got...

A good friend of mine was making a new dress to wear to a wedding – so I offered to make her some new jewellery to match. It turned out just beautiful!
