I am a polymer clay artist with a love for making pens. Thought I should join the forum since I am over the ditch:Uand stop being a lurker.
I am originally from New Jersey/New York State. Moved to New Zealand in July of 07 I am on the South Island, east coast 40 minutes north of christchurch, if anyone was curious.
Looking forward to being a member of the forum and showing you my work.

Good people and polite too, said the South Island was refreshing and invigorating.

We are neighbors!!!
Polymer clay is a very versatile material and can be used to create numerous things, jewelry, boxes, mosaics...etc... I make my own canes and cover the tubes for pens..
