A long time ago I did a lot of experiments with the curing of Kato polyclay and shared the results with you in a series of blog posts.  It all started with trying to make these bangles and having issues with their durability, I am still wearing them now 3 years later so the effort was worth it. I also did some testing on Fimo and the results of these experiments were published in the From Polymer to Art purple magazine. I have just realised I...

Goodness me it’s been a while since I blogged! I’ve had a bad back which has meant I haven’t really done very much of late but it’s a lot better and I’m back in action at last! There’s a couple of exciting things I should tell you about since I last blogged: Two of my polymer clay beads were published in the Lark Book – 1000 Beads.

I had a very busy few days representing Kato Polyclay at the Craft Stitch and Hobby International Trade Show at the NEC in Birmingham last week. It is such an honour to be able to share the magic of polymer clay with so many people in such a short time.

I haven’t really got anything to show just yet but hopefully I will have some new interesting pieces of polymer jewellery soon. I have also started work on my online shop – at last! It’s not quite there yet but I hope to open it soon. I...

I seem to have been rather busy of late which hasn’t left me much time for anything  – let alone writing blog posts 🙁  The good news is that although I am still busy I think it is back at a more enjoyable, manageable level and there is time for the little things in life, such as blogging and baking again! This weekend I am exhibiting my jewellery and gift items at the American Museum in Britain, Claverton Manor, Bath. There is a...
