Renaissance Gal of San Antonio Featured My Lantern...

Deb Tuchsen is an artist, polymer clay addict and a single mother of 3. Her art ranges from drawings and paintings to computer generated graphic design to polymer clay jewelry and millefiori.

She says:

Arzu Musa reminds me that polymer clay is an international art form. She is from Istanbul, Turkey and her wonderful lanterns and candle holders just glow! It reminds me how wonderful the polymer clay community is at breaking down the barriers across this great world of ours. Arzu Musa's SHOP is filled not only with these wonderful lanterns, but also with handmade buttons, barrettes, jewelry, beads and hair combs - all with an earthy style that is all her own. You can find out more about her work at www.arzumusa.com.

"Artist Andrea Balch" Wrote a Wonderful Article About "What are Polymer Clay Canes"

Andrea Balch is a professional artist, who has studied in many areas over the years, and been an artist all her life. She has got a site called Pets of the Realm If you are an artist; want to be an artist, or just love art, this site is for you.

She has covered the mystery of polymer clay canes in her article and she gave an example one of my work.

What are Polymer Clay Canes:

That's a good question, I was a dumfounded as you when I first got into the world of polymer clay . CANES... it it something to use when your walking? and what is it to do with polymer clay, all these silly things firstly run through your head.
If I had first thought of the old candy that kids used to buy from the corner store many years ago, I would have been on the right track.
Remember the long shaped candy that were sometimes striped on the outside, "Rock Candy" and they had different shaped colures inside.
You could see the different shapes when you looked at the end of the lollies, and they took ages to eat didn't they...
I GET IT! I GET IT NOW!... Please read this wonderful article here...

Here is a candle holder made of the polymer canes, I don't think there isn't something you cant do with this different form of polymer designs. Andrea Balch
