Hi there,
My name is Betsy and I live in the beautiful town of Ashland, Oregon (USA). I am a very young 69 and my husband and I are owned by two wonderful cats, Rumaki age 19 (yes 19!) and Gemma age 5.
After college I entered the computer industry and retired two years ago from a very long career. As the Director and Project Manager of a large IT department, it was a high stress, ever changing life. Along the way, however, I managed to attend art school and take up my first passion painting as a hobby, and was successful at selling and showing. Now that I get to slow down and enjoy life, I've decided to take up another artistic form - polymer clay. It is so versatile and the thing I love about it, is you really are only limited by your imagination.
I originally took up polymer clay because I decided I wanted to make jewelry. I do make some, but I soon discovered I made beads and pendants faster than I could decide what to do with them. So now I sell both in my shop: completed jewelry pieces along with handmade beads. I also make sculptures and boxes.
I am so happy to be part of this group, and that those of us dedicated to the true meaning of handmade can come together and share. Thank you Stacy and all your incredible helpers for starting this group.
