It has come to my attentiion that a poster here is using my designs of
inlaid crystals as her own original design. Let it be known that I was
designing these since 1999!

Hi Rosecatts!
Its very difficult for anybody to truthfully claim being the *first* to do
things with polymer clay---I've been using crystals inlaid into fairies
(they
make great eyes) for more than a decade. My friend across town makes
rhinestone
and crystal studded polymer clay pieces and has since the 1980's. Lots of
poeple come up with the same ideas at the same times, separately. That's
synchronicity.

Gosh, I pressed a swarovski bead into a glob of clay a few weeks ago, just
to see what it would look like. It was just something that was on the table
and I had a piece of clay in my hand. I do that with all sorts of objects.
I had no idea it was a 'design' or that I was 'stealing'.
