This delightful line of polymer clay and mixed media pins and earrings in the forms of insects, dragonflies, butterflies, frogs and lizards is designed by the artist, Joyce Fritz, and produced in her Wisconsin studio with the aid of one or two assistants. Work is made of polymer clay, recycled wire, colored wire, glass beads, metallic leaf, and glitter. The artists incorporates the millefiori technique to create patterns, as well as varied surface treatments.

"Yipes!" designs are hand-made in polymer clay using millefiori, an ancient technique, adapted to modern materials.  Sheets and coils of clay are stacked together and compressed into a loaf.  Cross-section slices of the loaf are used as design elements along with metallic leaf, glitter, recycled wire and glass beads.
