I hope you're much stronger and feeling better now. Wow, I'm so happy that "<a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/silverware-jewelry-pendant-polymer-clay-dogwood-flower/8481/">Spoon Pendants</a>" are coming up soon. That is going to be a great tutorial; the more examples I see, the more excited I get about the technique! June's examples here are really lovely. I'm waiting for a "good back day" so I can get out of the house to a second-hand shop or perhaps some yardsales to find some silverware... @j frederick: Beautiful work, June!

I am an occupational therapist and especially interested in collecting stories such as yours, because this is what my field is all about! You found a passion that turned a negative life experience into physical healing AND a new found interest. I agree with Cindy that polymer claying can help with physical healing and stress management and an important part of healing is the support and company of others. I think Cindy has created a community that meets so many needs...learning and fellowship. Thank you for sharing your story,and to Cindy for creating this lovely space for us to meet.
