MoonBell says:Love! I do have a question for you, how do you ventilate the house while baking the pieces? I have some clay and want to get back into it, but am a little hesitant to do it w/ 2 kids in the house when it’s so cold out.

Mary Ellen Parker says:I might be going out on a limb (no pun intended ) But,
I think the new clay formulas are very safe. I actually work in my kitchen! But, I do turn on a fairly strong fan that vents to the outside when I’m baking. I often let my 6 year old granddaughter make things from polymer clay ! She loves wearing her “own” jewelry creations. I did not coat the twigs .I liked the.natural look of the bark and it seems to wear quite well . Twigs are very cost effective addition to a design! LOL!!! m.e. : )

Jewelry by Shannon says:Ahhh, so pretty and I love the twigs too!! The way the color of her dress fades to a darker blue is so pretty.

Lynda aka DivaChick says:Hey, M.E.! Welcome to LB! This is my favorite of all your necklaces! It is just gorgeous!
Ladies, M.E. is a good friend and a very talented polymer artist. She collaborated with me on the necklace I am giving away on my blog for March. M.E. made the luscious blue flower beads for the necklace! I am so happy you are finally here, M.E.! I can’t wait to see more of your designs.
