Diane Foster just retired her presidency of our local polymer clay guild. Part of the tradition of the outgoing president is to make a small gift for the officers.

At our North Texas Polymer Clay Guild meeting last weekend, our current president, Diane Foster, gave a demo on how to make these cool swirl beads.

I wanted to share some more local talent. The below piece was given to me by Sandy Williams, another North Texas Polymer Clay Guild member. I just love the fresh colors & lined texture of the heart!
