| Big news around
the wigwam -- Patty Barnes has joined our Editorial Advisory Board. Patty's been claying for over 17
years and many of you
know her as President of the San Antonio Polymer Clay
Guild and Vice President
of the South Texas Polymer Clay Guild. She is Corresponding Secretary
for NPCG, and owns her own business -- Patty's Pyrographics. Patty is not only an avid polymer clayer, she also teaches classes at Michael's in three different cities, and is a demonstrator for Polyform Products and Jacquard. She has quite an academic history as well. Patty holds BFA and MA degrees in Art and taught middle school through high school art (she is now retired). She also hangs out on "clay-polymer," the Yahoo Group, where she is filling in as "List Grannie" during our friend, Carolyn's, illness (please pray for her speedy and complete recovery). If you'd like to chat with Patty you can subscribe to the group at: clay-polymer-subscribe@yahoogroups.com. We
are so fortunate to have Patty join us and I personally would like to
thank her husband and six children for sharing her with us.

Deb has some health challenges she's dealing with, but as usual, she's handling it all with style and grace (did you know she's quite the cook?). Trina and Marty are simply to be admired. They both provide such wonderful moral support for me. I am one lucky girl! Here are a few reminders: Kathy Gedrich (
