Here is a link to her Flickr site for some yummy eye candy:

(I wasn't kidding, was I?)
She also does craft shows and has an Etsy shop named AyeletBeads here.
One of Ayelet's claims to fame is that she writes the BEST polymer clay tutorials! (Hint: check her Etsy shop for the tutorials.) I have several of them and they never fail to please. I've been able to use them in a few different ways making them indispensible to me. So a few months ago, I got this awesome "Magic Flower Cane" tutorial from her and was so wanting to try it out. Then I became unable to clay due to a pinched nerve for a couple of months, so I couldn't do it. But now that I'm doing better, I pulled it out, and gave it a try. It's a great tutorial! Easy and fun (just don't make your cane huge like I did!) and with great possibilities.
Thank you, Ayelet, for being such a nice woman, an awesome polymer clayer, a good friend and a good tutorial writer!
Below is the photo of my first cane made with her Magic Flower Cane tutorial. Something weird went on with the white clay in this cane, it was way too soft and compressed together when I reduced it, but I still like the flower very much. I'm going to make another one shortly, hopefully the white clay will behave next time. Ayelet, I hope I made you proud. (((Ayelet)))
Wonderful first flower, even if the white went wacky! But then, you do lovely canework!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Laurel. I'm expecting the next one to turn out even better. Her tutorial is the bomb!
ReplyDeleteI just bought her dual tutorial combo on Etsy last week! I can't wait to try them out. Her work is truly amazing!
ReplyDeleteWOW Jackie, that is an awesome cane! And your photography is awesome too.

You will have lots of fun, Kate! Ayelet makes tutorials easy with good results.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sandy! It's probably more the editing program than the photography, LOL.

ReplyDeleteJackie I agree she writes great tutorials! Haven't tried that one but your cane looks great.
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie
ReplyDeleteyour cane is beautiful. Yes I know Ayelet and know her work is outstanding. Great she is putting N.Z. on the map. I came from there too but have lived in Aus a long time now.
I too buy Tuts, besides the Cindy Videos, when I see a good one, and will look at Ayelets.
Have a great day.
