Mira Krispil from the Israeli polymer clay guild posted a link to a video showing Laurie Mika's work, which was presented in the Talmadge Art Show in San Diego. The art show featured 83 artists doing handmade, recycled art using materials used for other purposes before.

Laurie's work was a quilt inspired by her trip to Israel and included salt from the dead sea, tiles and more, roll forward to 3:28 minutes in the video. The show took place on November 20th.
Wish I had a better photo of the piece, I'm sure it's amazing as her other quilts.

Another link by Mira was this site - showing a VERY cool blade - Stylus QuickArt to use with metal clay but seems to fit polymer clay as well. Looks tempting - right? This site has some neat tools for you guys, I'm sure you'll add it to your wishlist.

Ronna Sarvas Weltman

She uses sterling and fine silver, high quality semi-precious stones, precious metal clay, polymer clay, glass beads, bone, leather and found objects to craft one-of-a-kind artisan jewelry.

something interesting she said in her "about" page -

A friend once asked me … … if it's difficult to give up the pieces I've made. In fact, it's quite the opposite. What is most meaningful to me about making jewelry is sharing it with others, seeing them enjoying wearing it, hearing about the reaction they get when they give it as a gift. Nothing gives me more pleasure than knowing others are enjoying my jewelry.
