ClaySpressions

Good afternoon! Thank you so much for stopping by to read my introductory blog post! I appreciate you so much.

This website is dedicated to polymer clay jewelry-making and more! i am a newbie in the world of polymer clay, but not a newbie in the world of creating. In the past I have written and published stories, poetry, paintings, and beaded jewelry-making, just to name a few of my past experiences.

creativity is in my blood and i live for the moment when I am able to share my creations with the world.

I currently have a studio setup in our home. this blog was created to demystify my process and share tips on how the pieces are made, bridging a gap between customers and the artist.

My style is still developing but I lean heavily towards more elegant statement pieces such as those in the photos below. I am still building up the collection in my store, but new products are added weekly, sometimes even daily.

My personal style tends to lean casual, but with a combination of bold and elegant jewelry that will dress up even my favorite pair of blue jeans. Golds, silvers, and shimmery things are some of my favorite items.

When I was in college, I was one of the ‘glitter girls’ known, slightly embarrassingly for wearing a large amount of glitter on my eyes, and in my hair. This love for the shiny things comes through in many of my products.

My studio is much more casual than you can probably imagine. It is just a few tables in our former dining room. The set up suits me just fine, however as I have a large bay window that allows sunlight to shine in on me when working on my pieces.

I absolutely love watching a piece come to fruition in the end. the final product makes every act of massaging stiff clay worth it.
