I was recently featured on the blog Polymer Clay Daily and the curator and creator of the blog Cynthia had such nice things to say about my Marian + Hazel line!

Polymer that recharges

Translation

The car dealership waiting room was my impromptu office this afternoon. So you can imagine that an email introducing me to Vancouver artist Amanda Parker was what I needed (well, that and a battery).

Amanda, who sells under the MarianandHazel name, is new to PCD and her always-white, zen-like polymer jewelry speaks softly, calmly and fashionably. She majored in glass which she still works in as she branches out into polymer and recycled leather.

If you need a Thursday breather, sit down with a quiet cup of tea and check outher site, her recent Facebook pictures and her Etsy gallery. The sites, like her designs, are soothing and restorative.

Brand New Blog

Well I thought I should start a blog for Marian + Hazel (all the cool kids were doing it) and here it is! This will be a platform to inform others of upcoming news, shows, inspiration etc. The image above is from my cultures collection, a series of framed multi-media pieces inspired by bacteria, fungus and other natural items that collect in interesting patterns.
