We had 389 people respond, so it\u2019s been taking me some time to get through all your ideas and questions and then compile them, but we\u2019re working on it! I will directly answer some questions and note some of the comments in our next newsletter, so if you don\u2019t get it already, hop on over to the website and fill in the two line form to get that email of news, cool polymer tips and community information sent to you twice a month. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thepolymerarts.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.thepolymerarts.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The winners were chosen by a random number generator (your number coming from where you landed on the spreadsheet that your survey responses go to.) The lucky ducks who will be receiving Goodie Boxes this time around are Lorna Slack and Beth Schwartz! Congratulations!<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, we have fielded so many complements on the Fall cover. Ronna\u2019s necklace is stunning, and that whole organic disks and seed pod theme seems to always turn heads. I thought I\u2019d look for more pieces like that, but something a bit different. I think I found it!<\/p>\n<p>The organic forms are so often created in nature\u2019s muted or darker tones, but I have to say, this shot in the arm of brilliant color works wonderfully with them too. The saturated color and stylized shapes create a fun and joyful version of this kind of necklace. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/boxesforgroxes\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jenna Wright<\/a> uses tools she bought from Celie Fago to carve the marks into cured clay. She calls this \u201cInked Necklace ii\u201d from her <em>Electric <\/em>series. I am trying to figure out the inked thing\u2014dyeing the carved out spots perhaps? Regardless, it\u2019s a beautiful piece of warm brights and brilliant white that brings organic up to a very cheery level.<\/p>\n<p>If you want more brilliant color and fun ways with organic shapes, jump on over to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/boxesforgroxes\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jenna\u2019s Flickr page, Boxes of Groxes<\/a> (what a fun name!) for a bright and cheery break in your
