Her whimsical colorful design of fish pins/magnets/anything you can think of, has it's own unique style and brings a smile :) Her tutorial is offered for a special reduced price for the next few days!

One of my polymer clay friends in Israel - Daniella made a beautiful piece for a contest, the subject was "Israel celebrating 60 years", she made a dove bird with seed beads and polymer clay beads, the dove represents hope and inspired by our Israeli solider Gilad Schalit, who is being held in the Gaza Strip by Hamas for 956 days now. We are waiting for him to come home.

Daniella won 2nd place.
