Hi Alia...

I don't give out my secrets as my work is my only contribution to our finances. I'm sure you understand.

I may do a book someday.

Thanks so much for your kind comments!

Jill

Jill, our yoga master would say, based on your work, that you were a mystic in a past life because of the expressions of deep tranquility you capture. I wish you worked in porcelain, or something that hardens more for the long term! Ever consider it?

Hi Christy,

Thank you for the compliment! I believe we only get one life though and I'm trying to live it to the fullest. ;-)

Apparently, you've never encountered polymer items that have been correctly cured. Handled properly, polymer is as sturdy as other more accepted mediums...sometimes sturdier. Through experimentation, I've learned how far to push it design-wise and plan for strength as I create.

Email with any questions you may have at jnewman(at)falcon1.net Change the at to @ of course.

Thanks again, Jill

PLEASE do a book, even if you hold off publishing it until later in life... your contribution to the art is invaluable. I am a dedicated fan, even though I don't yet own one of your pieces.

Jill, you might want to do as I do -- write down everything, even if you don't plan to publish in the immediate term. Keep a hard copy as well as copies on CD/Disc/Hard Drive. That way, the information that you have won't be lost if (heaven forbid) something happens to you. Losing your contribution to the art would be tragic.

I don't consider my stuff to be a contribution that's so darned important to the world, but it's part of my legacy to DD. She deserves to know her history, and the history of her family. I write down almost everything, just in case, so she will have the information that is her birthright.
