The post office was a happy place for me this week. Three packages arrived with Stroppel Cane treasures inside. Two I’ll share with you now and another amazing prize I’ll share with you tomorrow.<\/p>\n

The first package was from Peg Gerard, a \u00a0Massachusetts polymer clay artist that has used my Stroppel Cane technique to create some wonderful designs. Several caught my eye, especially the pendant above, I loved the bold black and white spiral cane slices that she added to her Stroppel Cane, they make such a statement.<\/p>\n

I’m delight Peg decided to trade with me. I sent her a Stroppel sweater girl and I’m now the proud owner of this striking piece.\u00a0I’m sorry to say I didn’t take a picture of this sweater girl, Peg, if you read this and want to send me a picture I’ll add it here.<\/p>\n

You can see more of Peg’s work on her website Polymer Peg’s Clay Jewelry<\/a>\u00a0and on her Flickr site, Polymer Peg’s\u00a0<\/a>. You can find her work for sale at the galleries listed on her blog<\/a>. I first saw Peg’s work in 400 Polymer Clay Designs <\/em>and have been a fan ever since.<\/p>\n

Thank you so much Peg.<\/p>\n

Then I was thrilled again to receive this fabulous Love NY<\/em> skyline from Anne Marie Rodellar or amerena as she is known on the web. I was happy to send her this Stroppel sweater girl in exchange.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anne Marie is from France and had recently visited New York and when she got back home, produced a line of abstract New York skylines using a Stroppel Cane for the building and sometimes the taxi cabs.\u00a0I’m headed to New York next month for my nephew’s wedding and am going to take it along with me, perfect.<\/p>\n

You can see more of amarena’s work on her blog, amerenabijoux\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0her Flickr site, amarenabijoux’s photo stream<\/a>\u00a0or better yet, you can purchase a New York slide for yourself on her Dawanda site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thank you Anne Marie.<\/p>\n

On a side note, I am staying in the Dumbo area of Brooklyn. Dumbo….”Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass”. It’s\u00a0one of New York City’s premier arts districts full of both non-profit and for profit art galleries. And..Etsy is around the block ….literally.<\/p>\n

This trip piggy backs on a trip I’m taking to Colorado to meet with a couple of my favorite polymer clay artists. We plan on a couple of days of clay and a couple of days of galleries and museums and fabulous eateries. I’m going to be so full of inspiration when I get back, just watch out!<\/p>\n
