The term Polymer Clay ["PC"] refers to a synthetic clay which consists of tiny polyvinyl chloride particles suspended in plasticizers and mixed with various pigments. As with traditional clays, it is pliable when raw and hardens by curing. PC is extremely malleable and versatile, highly fade resistant, waterproof, with unlimited creative potential. That is why it is fast becoming the preferred medium for many highly accomplished, talented artists who had previously worked in oils, acrylics, precious metals, etc.. Today you will find PC creations in collections and fine galleries around the world.

Some brands of PC are also a convenient medium for use by children and hobby crafters; that's part of its versatility. No one would dismiss a Van Gogh pencil sketch because it is made of "only" paper and pencil; so also, creations made with PC are now valued based on the quality, originality, beauty and strength of the individual work of art.

Although I have painted, sculpted, or worked in fine metals both before and during my years as an attorney, it was the endless potential of PC that so stimulated my creative juices that I decided to hang up my shingle, close my law office of 30 years, and devote my time, effort and imagination to creating works of art. I hope you enjoy looking at the results one iota as much as I have enjoyed making them.

Some folks --- of any religious persuasion ---- may chose to write their own prayer or to select a message of personal or spiritual significance and place that message into one of my handmade, one-of-a-kind cases. That is your choice and perfectly fine with me.

Mezuzah cases are often artistic objects in ceramics, wood, metal, glass, etc. Mine are made with polymer clay, paint, and other fine art materials. They do not contain a kosher mezuzah parchment, which can be purchased from synagogue gift stores or on line at sites such as www.zionjudaica.com/Mezuzah_Scrolls-17.asp
