Susan does feature a lot of polymer art on her blog but more importantly she features very different craft art in general, because we cannot grow on the inspiration of polymer artists alone.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>If you like this blog, support The Polymer Arts projects with a subscription or issue of The Polymer Arts magazine as well as supporting our advertising partners.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Blog2 -2014-02Feb-5\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/daveonline.net\/thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Blog2-2014-02Feb-5.jpg?resize=125%2C125\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0<em><a href=\"http:\/\/polymerclayworkshop.com\/cane-builder-subscription\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Millefiori eggs\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/daveonline.net\/thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Millefiori-eggs-480x480.jpg?resize=125%2C125\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thepolymerarts.com\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"14P1 cover Fnl\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/daveonline.net\/thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/14P1-cover-Fnl-480x623.jpg?resize=133%2C173\" width=\"133\" height=\"173\" \/><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another blog you really should be following is the wonderful Daily Art Muse (DAM) which also has a monthly version sent as a newsletter (MAM).
