I am so very grateful for your support of The Polymer Arts projects, both the magazine and the blog. Without you, I would not be able to spend my days entrenched in art and creativity nor would I be able to help so many find new ways to create and be inspired, connecting talented artists to readers in the intimate way we get to in our publications.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d give you all a little something sweet in thanks if I could but since I can&#8217;t reach you all, I am soliciting the help of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/DragonsAndBeasties?ref=profile_shopname\">Becca Golins<\/a> who creates these adorable dragons and other fantastical beasts. These big-eyed beasties so readily bring a smile to my face and so, I hope they do for you as well.<\/p>\n<p>You can find more of Becca&#8217;s cute creatures on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pg\/dragonsandbeasties\/photos\/?tab=album&amp;album_id=1917745014919969\">her Facebook page<\/a> and her coloring books inspired by them <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/DragonsAndBeasties?ref=profile_shopname\">in her Etsy shop<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy the season and the chance to be closer to the ones you love.
