I have been collecting all the tools for a few years and now have started to really play. I can sit for hours in my laundry room and do the laundry at the same time. Carolyn Keller Dear Cindy,

Ideally I would love to send you some photographs of some of my work BUT firstly I have to improve my photography which means making myself a light box. I have several days off work around Christmas and have promised myself to make one (I found the <a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/jewelry-photography-tips-etsy-cheap-homemade-lightbox-tutorial/187/">photo light box instructions</a> on your website, naturally!). Then, if all goes well, perhaps I can take some "good" photographs to send to you rather than the snapshots I have taken so far. Tanti auguri e grazie mille Susan p.s. I must tell you that I find it thrilling to be in touch with you personally – it is like having an audience with the Pope! Dear Cindy,

There are other members here, who are also from various parts of Italy. I always try my best to link people up in case there are opportunities for clayers to meet up with each other locally. This happened a while back with several of the <a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/how-to-promote-polymer-clay-in-britain/6083/">polymer clay UK members</a>. They are now staying in close contact with each other, which is great to see. You can click on the link by my name to read a bit of information about another "polymer clay addict" in Italy. Her name is Kathia Catania. Ciao, ~Cindy What a wonderful story! There are other members here, who are also from various parts of Italy.

I am from the UK but have lived here in Florence Italy for almost 27 years, am married to an Italian and have two bilingual boys. I find that Italians are not particularly into crafts and I often have a very hard time explaining just how I use polymer clay to make beads! I have enjoyed doing various crafts over the years from rock painting to cross stitch but polymer clay has now become my number one passion and I love making beads, jewellery, keyrings etc. etc. I have three of my best fans and critics living right here with me so I can't wait to show off the new techniques that I learn from you just to see their reactions. I am full of admiration for what you do and the online community you have created and am so happy to have found you on the internet! With all best wishes, Susan Dear Cindy,

By the way... from a previous conversation you mentioned that you live in Florence, Italy. Your English is very good! Are you a "native" Italian or did you move there from somewhere else? I always enjoy hearing about where everyone is from and how polymer clay brings us all together on line in such a close knit community. Happy Holidays to you too!!! ~Cindy Sounds good Susan!
