Hello, my name is Iris Mishly and i am a polymer clay artist from Israel.

After 15 years as a web designer, the coincidence led me to discover polymer clay in November 2004, I took 1 workshop, and i knew it was different from anything I'd ever done before.
Fascinated with the magical world of color and form, transparency and opaque, I was instantly hooked. i consider myself a mix-media artist, i like to combine materials together and my designes are mostly accessories and jewelry.

I am continuously working and thinking of new ideas of using the polymer clay, and using the millefiori technique which is the most colorful, enjoying and has the endless possibilities for my art.

I am teaching adults and children, which find this exciting medium enjoyable and love their new hobby.

PolyPediaOnline was established to allow artists and hobbiests from all over the world to learn from me without getting up of their chair: Tutorials, Free Articles and Videos are the main focus of this site.

I am always exploring new methods of work and the internet is my best friend for that matter, I write a column in an Israeli polymer clay forum, this column is for all polymer clay hobbyists (starters and advanced). I introduce new techniques, new artists, an interesting piece of art or just plain inspiration. All these links are gathered in an internet blog: PolymeriOnline

On May 2009 i was invited to teach 60 women (and men) from the European polymer clay community in an event called "Polymer Play Days" organized by Ms. Helen Cox. It was an amazing experience which proved me that the desire to know and learn is endless.
In the same way i am teaching others, i am constantly learning from the top artists.
