Is there anything else that you would like to add?
I love working with polymer clay, because it is so personal. I can make it anything I want it to be. I can use designs/images that are personal and make the jewelry that is meaningful. Also, If I need a focal piece to accommodate a multi-strand design, I just have to make the focal piece how I need it to be.
