Pretty Mirror with Polymer Clay

Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who makes the coolest mirrors of them all?

Gail Cunningham of Bay Harbor Designs that's who

This is just too cute. This great looking mirror was made by none other than Gail Cunningham. We met her at the fairgrounds during art drop off and got talking. Gail often does interesting jewelry pieces with polymer clay and I was curious to see what she had sent in. She showed me this and I am sure this has got to be a winner!

We always thought these polymer clay items were hand painted and marveled at the intricate designs she creates. She told us they are not painted at all. Each pattern is created using a multitude of various colored clays.
