I've been experimenting with two polymer clay tutorials and before I share that experiment with you, I'd really like you to let me know which chain you favor.  Then I'll put the finished necklace on my post next week with the explanation and reviews of the tutorials.  I would REALLY like your opinion!

Our last day of the Australian trip would be spent in Sydney.  We arrived early in the day and went to rent a car.  We had no idea how hard it would be to get one!   Finally we were able to drive away from the airport and explore the Royal National Park south of Sydney.  What a beautiful area!
