sculpey cherry

i was a sculpey virgin until today. my friend, the doc, took me under her wing and showed me the way. armed with only a wooden toothpick and a razor blade i made a mess of beads.

first a familiar form - black birds.

i never had any particular desire to try polymer clay until i stumbled onto the blog called humble beads by heather powers. if you have never seen her beads - go there now. they are just exquisite.
