Welcome . . .

Ellen and I have been friends for over twenty years. First we were tennis partners, and then we moved to crafts. We took pottery classes together. Then we moved to glass...fusing, stained glass and flame-working. Then one day we stumbled onto polymer clay. Ellen's sister-in-law, Laurie, had told her about how great Barbara McGuire was and what a great art medium polymer clay was. We were at a bead show where Barbara was teaching. We sat down and the rest is history. Over the past few years we have developed an obsessive interest in the art of making jewelry.  We have an interest in the components, the tools and the products used in this pursuit.  Searching for the best products led us to open a retail outlet selling products we like to use and are hard to find. We'd like to use this blog to bring you along on our journey.
