About Me

Hello dear polymer clay enthusiast! 

I’m thrilled to connect with you and share a bit about myself and my journey. My name is Mihaela, and I’m a Translator and Conference Interpreter by profession. However, my life took an unexpected turn when I discovered the amazing and fascinating world of jewelry making and polymer clay. This turned my life upside down in such a beautiful way. Lit a fire under me. 

My love story with polymer clay began after the birth of my son. Suddenly I had more time to think about life in general and how I wanted the next chapter in my life to be and this is when I realized that I had a burning desire to express my creativity. And jewelry making turned out to be the best way for me.   It was like discovering a hidden treasure chest of ideas and inspirations that had been dormant, just waiting for the right moment to come to life.

How did you discover polymer clay?  Why do you prefer it of all those creative media out there? 

For me the answer is simple. I love clay for its versatility and the endless possibilities it offers. You can turn it into so many things. Vases, jewelry boxes, you can make paintings with it, decorations of all kind. And so many more things. I personally love to use it for making jewelry. When I was little I dreamt of being a fashion designer. Well, this did not happen. But eventually I turned into a jewelry designer:) 

While it’s been 10 years since I’ve been intensely absorbed in creating and playing with clay, I still love the fact that it has ways to surprise me. And there’s still things to discover. Techniques to be “unearthed”. And the clay people are such supportive and friendly creatives. 

Sharing My Passion

Just as much as I love creating, playing, trying out things with polymer clay, I’m just as passionate about sharing my knowledge and experiences with other like-minded people who are eager to explore their own creativity. I taught in several online polymer clay virtual events, I had tutorials features in Polymer clay magazines and I also have classes on several online art teaching platforms. But most of all, I share my inspiration with you, here. As often as possible.  

If you’re curious about polymer clay and jewelry making, I invite you to join me on this journey. Together, we’ll dive into the fascinating world of sculpting, molding, and creating jewelry that not only dazzles the eye but also speaks to the soul. Whether you’re looking to learn new techniques, find inspiration, or simply connect with a community of like-minded individuals, you’ll find a welcoming space here.
