It was around 2010 that I started attending various art and crafts workshops including working with polymer clay. I took classes with Melody Felipe of Purple Nook Clay Shop (who also sells Polymer Clay materials). Melody mentioned Jen Cruz, the artist behind Purpleluggage, an expert in caning and creating whimsical flowers. I didn't pursue polymer clay, despite investing in materials, (including an oven) dedicated to this craft. It wasn't my medium but it was definitely Jen's.
“I'm a beach-going, dog-loving, crafty musician. All
the stuff here were made lovingly -and at times painstakingly- with my own
hands. I've been working with polymer clay since the mid-90's. An affair borne
of a magical meeting of a limitless medium and busy hands.” - Jen Cruz, Purpleluggage
Working with a medium as accessible as polymer clay and
making it into something totally unique is a challenge that is both rewarding
and enriching for polymer artist Jen Cruz. Being a tinkerer with restless
hands, she is enriched by the intimate connection of designing and creating for
people she’s never met. Her work brings her immense happiness, balance, and
calm; and it means so much more when her creations speak to people in a
positive way.
