Simply Ridiculous Designs

Dotty McMillan has been creating all kinds of things with polymer clay for the past eight years. She has written numerous articles on the subject for magazines such as Jewelry Crafts, and Arts and Crafts. She is also the author of four published novels. Sterling Publishing Co will publish her craft book "The Many Moods of Polymer Clay" in the year 2000.
	Dotty was one of the ten winners in the International Polymer-Clay Bead competition, and has had her work on display in a number of galleries, and sells through stores and at craft and art shows in Orange County, California. She is a member of the Orange County Polymer Clay Guild, The San Diego Clay Guild, and the National Polymer Clay guild, and the Orange County Bead Society. She teaches classes in Orange County, as well as in San Diego. Some of her work can be seen online at Polymer Clay Central on Delphi.
When Dotty first began working with polymer-clay she had no idea how incredibly versatile the medium was. She thought it was just something to give to her kids and grandkids to keep them busy. However, like so many others, she discovered Nan Roche's fantastic book, "The New Clay," and was amazed by the dazzling work shown there. A number of early polymer-clay artists have pioneered the path of discovery and creation, and given inspiration to all of us who have followed. Dotty is truly grateful for all their trailblazing efforts.
