Duh

A couple of days ago I posted about the wonderful prizes/surprises I received in the mail. One of the items was the terrific chameleon pendant from Eugena of The Polymer Clay Chameleon. I emailed Eugena to thank her and she wondered if I had found the second little item she had sent. Um, no.... This lovely, sweet AND talented woman had hidden a little birthday gift for me under the filling of the box. That gift is the beautiful sculpted orchid necklace shown above. I love surprises and this was a double one! WhooooEEEE!

If you have not checked out Eugena's shop on Etsy, please do so,she is a multitalented artist and offers beautiful jewelry, vases, and tutorials. I am posting a small sample below, because selfless woman that she is, Eugena profiles other polymer clay artists on her blog, but not her own work, which is truly exceptional.

Eugena's website is also a treat with more examples of her work

and oodles of tips and information.

Again, Eugena, I thank you for your generousity and thoughtfulness.
