Ma-belette / cecilia mabcrea, is 37 years old living in China since may 2008 where she found a position as development manager in Textile. she discovered polymer clay 2 years ago and this is her favourite hobby. she designs the polymer clay pieces between 5 and 8.00 in the morning where light is the best and temperature not too hot. she loves all colors and all techniques & try to mix to find new developments.

Scott Radke is working with some special materials, his figures are both scary and facinating, even though not polymer clay, he is working with apoxy clay or magic sculpt, these are two part clays that cure in an hour or so, very interesting....(see photo)

Drawstrings in Motion has a great tutorial up on how to create a collapsible light box from foam core and posterboard that will only set you back about five dollars. Once you've taken your photos, the light box folds up for easy storage. http://drawingsinmotion.blogspot.com/2009/01/making-of-light-box.html
