Polymer Clay Artist

Hello and welcome to my page! I'm a former Fine Arts student with a lifelong passion for creating. Everything you see here has been hand made me(Lorinda : )) Whether it's from wood, clay, paint, fabric, socks. . . . . . you name it and I'll make it! My focus is mainly polymer clay-which is an oven bake clay that is extremely easy to use - once baked it becomes strong and durable and waterproof! Never losing its vibrant color, never shrinking. I love love love to play with clay! Garden accessories, games, portrait plaques and Christmas ornaments, cake toppers, wine glasses, pens, magnets - the possibilities are endless!
I have trouble limiting my creative juices . . . . . the constant need to create has led me more recently to sock monkeys! Not your typical sock monkeys. . . I am on the constant look out for unique, colorful, sometimes crazy socks! Hand sewn and embellished with felt and embroidery thread, buttons, flowers, found and upcyled objects and the occasional tutu! Each monkey is one of a kind - for the young and young at heart: )
Custom orders on all of my creations are always welcome-if you have an idea or see something you like let me know. . . there's always time for crafting: )
