In this latest book review, I take a look at Polymer Clay Global Perspectives by Cynthia Tinapple. It includes 13 projects and polymer clay artwork from 125 international artists.

I am still enjoying creating around prints that I like and using organza ribbon cord necklaces to whip up some fun and colorful jewelry designs for summer. In this tutorial, the color theme comes from an island style print: Island Lampwork Necklace.
