Helen is featured in...
The
1997 summer issue of American Style magazine introduced Helen to a new and
wonderful medium called polymer clay. The magazine featured Kathleen Dustin,
Elise Winters, Rebecca Zimmerman and many others. Their work and the
possibilities of the medium fascinated Helen and she knew immediately that the
search for the perfect medium for her creativity was finally over.
