She is the newly elected President of the Polymer Artists Guild of Etsy.  Hailing from Colorado, Tejae Floyde, is a multi- media artist and a devoted wife and mom. Like a lot of artists, she holds down a regular full time job and creates art in her spare time.

She enjoys creating unique designs that will be enjoyed for years to come. Her pieces are made from either polymer clay, silver or paper.  She says there is a message of  love and finding good in all things within her art.

Tejae is known for her inspirational and beautiful hearts.  She had a tutorial published in Polymer Cafe recently and in addition, taught an online class in the construction of a heart within a heart.  According to her blog, she will be teaching at the Inspired Artist Workshops May 7-9 in Charlotte/Concord, North Carolina.

Her polymer clay work has also been published in “400 Polymer Clay designs. Tejae’s  paper art,  “inchies,”  have been published in Somerset Studio. 

From her feedback on Etsy - Beautiful work from a great teacher and wonderful artisan!

From Austin, Texas comes Spiritmama.  She has an unusual first name, Waxéla, pronounced (wa-shay-la) and has been making jewelry and art for as long as she can remember.  She had owned retail shops for 15 years, and two years ago, she gave that up and decided to pursue SpiritMama.com to spend more time with her daughter.

 Among her skills are beading, jewelry and sculpture.  She loves spirituality and is intrigued with the many facets of different religions. She is most aligned with the Native American love of the earth and the Buddhist Zen practice.

Spiritmama is also a certified aroma therapist, an energy healer, a Reiki practitioner, and is studying holistic nutrition through Clayton College of Natural Health.

She says her art is infused with healing energy, particularly the art dolls which she prays with and fills with chi before sending them out. How interesting!
