Rebecca Martinez
My passion is surface design and color. Polymer clay and quilting arts allow me to indulge that passion!
Many of my necklaces are created in sets of three companion pieces because some days you feel more flamboyant than others. Wearing all three necklaces is appropriate on those days.
My jewelry incorporates my own polymer clay beads plus beads of glass, wood, pearl, bone and semiprecious stones from my bead stash.
I enjoy small town living in Colfax, where I work as a designer for Blue Cat Studio, Inc. At the studio we are equipped to print fabric in addition to fine art giclee prints.
In my spare time I enjoy sewing, swimming, dancing, reading, fabric dyeing, karate and beekeeping.
