Finally! Haffina has her turn in the spotlight!
Always a friendly and welcoming presence on the Handmade Artist's Forum, Haffina is a designer of polymer clay, chainmaille and beaded confections. She's got a blog and talks about the artists who support and inspire her every week.
But let's talk about her as an artist!
Looking around at all her work, she's an artist after my own heart. Trying every different technique to see how well it will create her own vision. From complex beadwork:
To polymer clay:
And doesn't this next one almost make you want to carry it down the aisle? (not that I'm getting married, but it would be right at home.)
And chainmaille:
She's a mom of 5, a fact I just found out, and am completely amazed by! She's inspiring in her dedication! Learning new skills is a passion of my own (you read my blog, you know this) and Haffina is inspiring in the success she's had with all these different media in jewelry!
And she's in Australia, and probably rolls her eyes every time I mention my brief stay there. Thank you, Haffina, for your support and energy! Your work is beautiful.
You can also find her on Facebook and twitter.

Haffina is truly amazing - I'm not convinced she's only one person!

Wonderful post! I'm convinced she's actually 2 people and gets an 8 day week to get all that stuff done!

I love the purple clay. Can I use that as a necklace? What it it will crack?

Thank you for the lovely post and the wonderful comments.
The polymer roses set is actually a necklace with matching earrings. Polymer clay is very strong and should not crack if cured properly unless excess force is applied.
