Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:WOW!!! Val, these are simply stunning pieces! Is this your first try at polymer clay? I am sooooo impressed! Please send me a message regarding a site for purchasing your work or if you are interested in selling any of these to me, please. No pressure, OK?

JustImagine - Val says:Thanks Lynn! The first piece that I made this morning didn’t come out as nice as I would have liked. I made it a little too thin. Then I made the Fly pendant and then the collection as I watched the 14-inning Yankees game. I think I’m going to hang on to these. Check out Lynda’s freshbaked blog…she inspired me.

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Val, thanks for your honesty — just thought I’d take a chance! I don’t blame you at all for wanting to keep these beauties, especially since they are your first true “keepers”!
I subscribe to Lynda’s blog and am constantly amazed by her work!
