A clay purse? Yes - polymer clay! And now with 3D printed interiors. This innovation makes our purses light - amazingly so!

Polymer clay makes our handbags both strong and beautiful. These purses are obviously not large hold-all bags. These exquisite bags can be carried with pride, knowing you have a piece of unique functional art.

The variety of techniques possible with polymer clay keeps Megsy and Maude dreaming of what comes next.

A colorful painted wooden box featuring a stylized bird with blue and orange feathers surrounded by green leaves and purple flowers.

This surface technique is called string theory, as taught by Jan Montarsi. The excitement comes when sanding brings out hidden colors.

A decorative jewelry box with a floral pattern, open to show a mirrored lid and an interior lined with gold and beige marbled paper, placed on a stone surface with greenery in the background.

Mokume gane, as taught by Ellen Propheter of Creative Journey Studios, is a wildly versatile technique which I now happily use for purse interiors and as background for textured mosaics.

           

Round handbag with a hummingbird design made of woven ribbon and beads, featuring yellow, orange, red, and black colors, with a brown strap.

This background mosaic technique is one I call “tug and cut”. The contrast with the textured feathers makes this purse a pleasure to touch.
