Hi everyone,
I'm on Flickr to learn about and share polymer clay creations. I am rather new to polymer clay, but I have found it to be enthralling. Please share your polymer clay ideas with me :).
If you see something on my flickr that you would like
to buy, send me a flickr mail, I could add a reserved sale at my store on etsy. I invite you to visit my Etsy store at
http:/www.jillpalumbo.etsy.com
I have a new blog at

1. My name is Jill. I'm a wife, mother, sister, teacher, friend and artist.
I have a wonderful husband who means the world to me. We have been blessed with two sons, Nick and Vince. They are both an adventure and a joy simultaneously. I give many prayers of thanks for them each and every day.
2. I am a study in contradictions. I am sometimes too trusting and sometimes too judgmental. I am against all wars and conflicts, a lover of peace, and also a veteran of the armed forces. I am a believer and yet experience periodic losses of faith since I have a father who is a minister and valued my siblings and mother and me so little that our lives, safety and wellbeing were and continue to be of no importance to him.
3. I am a lover of art, of beauty, of nature. I am often inspired to create things based on something beautiful that I have seen.
4. I am a lover of languages and the discovery of differences and commonalities between cultures.
5. I love to look at something and figure out how it is made, but I hate to read directions. I love to push buttons and play with things until I can figure them out.
6. I love my students, and I pray each day that I will act in ways to let them see my concern for them. I love to teach them, but I love to learn from them as well. They have so much to teach me.
7. I worry constantly about so many things. I care so deeply about everyone, both near and far from me, that I am often overwhelmed. I wish there were enough hours in the day to be a good mother, good friend, good sister, good wife, good teacher, and in the end I always fall short.
8. I am happiest when I am creating something, and especially when I am making something for someone in particular. Each time that I do this, I feel blessed and content.



Thanks very much,
