For St-Patric's day, I found these beautiful green pendants and ornaments in the shop of Valerie Ashley from Rhode Island, ElysianFields.etsy.com. Valerie collects real leaves, imprints them in clay, and uses artist pencils and water colors to draw and paint tree nymphs and dryads.
Valerie donates 5% from each sale of these "Spirit of Nature Designs" to the Arbor Day Foundation to support public education and preservation of trees.
See more of her creations in her blog and photo album.
Thank you for featuring my work on your blog today! What a lovely way to start the day! I love polymer clay and you have showcased a wonderful and eclectic collection of very talented artists here.
