What The Fairy Society Has Done For Me
Or, Why I Love It
Although I have been working with polymer clay for a little over five years, I'm new to artist doll sculpting. A number of incredible artists have been approachable and have offered advice, encouragement and support, enabling me to advance much faster than I would have on my own. I've become friends with other new artists to share the journey and grow with as well. Fairy and Fantasy Art Links

Rent Tutorial DVD's At SmartFlix
I ran across SmartFlix.com How-To DVDs while searching for some do it yourself instructions on repairing my clothes dryer. Just for the thrill of it, I entered "polymer clay" into the site search. You could have knocked me over with a feather when I found that they not only carry basic tutorials but that they also have DVD's from some of the most famous and admired artists in the medium.
Donna Kato, Patricia Rose, Wendy Froud, Sue Heaser and White Gothic Studios are just a few among the artists and experts in the category.
These DVD's can be expensive to purchase. I know that it would take me quite a while to be able to buy all of the ones on my wish list. With SmartFlix, you can have an entire library at your fingertips! You can study up on personal finance and real estate as well as train your dog or learn to fly a plane!
The site also runs holiday specials. For Father's Day, they offered 10% off rentals. Join today and open up a whole new world!
