I had a friend who often spoke to me of Sculpey and Fimo but I didn't really take a lot of notice. I had assumed it was a children's modelling dough and that it was used as a novelty activity for kids.

After I suffered an injury that prevented me from going out to work I needed something to do, something creative with my hands, to fill in the hours. I began stringing beaded necklaces and making beaded earrings. Then my friend suggested I make my own beads from polymer clay. "What's that?" I asked. "Sculpey, Fimo, you know", she said.

It was time I learned more! I bought a book and also got online and ordered my first supplies. It wasn't long before I was hooked. I'm in love! This medium lends itself so beautifully to so many different forms. At present, creating jewelry is my preferred option.

Hope you get as much pleasure from looking at my creations as I've had in making them.
