Anne Delaney is new to Etsy.  Take heart Anne, sometimes it might take a little while before you are found. 

She is new to this venue, but has been working with polymer clay for over 12 years.  She is entirely self-taught.  The polymer clay was always tucked away by itself in her hometown craft stores until the last few years.  She had no idea it was so big outside her world and had put it aside for a few years, dabbling here and there.  She is a very busy mother of four little girls ages 7, 5, 4, and 11 months but manages to make the most delightful buttons she calls Jazzups.  They are buttons you can put on your purse, backpack, jacket, etc..  Also in her shop are plant buddies, little bug figurines to guard your plants. 

In addition to her buttons and plant buddies, she has lovely necklaces in her shop.  They have clean lines and a natural look featuring beautiful earthy tones.

Recently, she decided to pick up her craft again, fearing she would lose her touch.  She says, “I have always had a passion for art.  I love to do arts and crafts with my girls.  My little ones love to watch me and get a kick out of getting their very own piece of polymer clay.  I love to explore where my creativity can take me.”
