 10-06-07 Poinsettia Pens:
One thing about polymer clay is its shelf life. I made this poinsettia cane in
Demo back in 2004. I wasn't happy with it so it lay abandoned until I started
on this pen exploration. Reducing a cane of "grave disappointment" I was able
to recycle the design, smaller and repeated, and the poinsettia cane redeemed
itself. I love recycling. |
