Polymer Playground

It is time for another Polymer Clay Smoosher's blogring featured Smoosher. This week it is Elaine from TooAquarius.

Elaine has a wonderful way with polymer clay, especially when it comes to making canes, and using those canes to make fantastic beads.

One of the things I have noticed is that Elaine makes fantastic pillow beads. I have struggled quite a bit with making them, so I admire those who seem to make them so effortlessly.

Elaine sells her beads through several online stores, including ArtFire, and she also sells her canes, which I think is fabulous. She puts a great amount of detail into her canes and I reckon they would be wonderful to use.

She also has a really good blog where she promotes other artisans and invites us to peak inside her world well.
