 The Ornament Magazines

Indexing Project

 Since there is no website for the magazine, and it's nearly impossible to find info about it online, I decided an index was in order. Hope you find it useful.

 Tables of Contents by year published newest issues first

I will try to highlight in blue all the projects using polymer clay. Articles about clay artists or that mention it are in red.

It's a work in progress. If you have any info that I am missing it would be wonderful to fill in the blanks. Full credit will be given to my helper elves. :)

You can email me at info@tonjastreasures.com
