A few years ago when the internet was relatively new, one my friends remarked that he had travelled all over the world via his PC. I remember thinking how amazing that was. Today we take it for granted. I regularly email people in the US and Europe and don’t give it a second thought. When I received a message from Iris Mishly in Israel, I had that same feeling again - a kind of awe that someone across the world was reading Indie Quarter and that they too were involved in craft and design.

Iris Mishly is a polymer clay artist. Her main focus is fashion accessories and jewellery the ‘millefiori’ way. Her colour combinations, patterns and designs are unusual and very pretty. My eye was immediately drawn to her Hamsa Home Decorations. Each decoration is made entirely of polymer clay and contains a Hebrew blessing for the home and for everyone who lives in it. Each one is unique.

Other items include charms, earrings and hair slides. And if you like to make your own accessories, Iris also sells polymer clay canes which can be cut and baked and used in a variety of art projects.
