Who...Who... Who is Swirly Designs?

Since there might be a few of you who are visiting our site for the first time during this Halloween blog party event, we thought we would mention who we are and show a little of what we do.

We are a husband and wife team, from Reading, MA, and met while at The New England School of Art & Design in Boston. I entered the Graphic Design field while Paul pursued a career in Illustration. We married in 2000 and soon thereafter began a joint venture designing ornaments using polymer clay. Our designs are all original hand-sculpted, hand-painted polymer clay ornaments that interpret traditional images through a playful, contemporary eye, producing one-of-a-kind ornaments. We recently posted a behind-the-scenes series that takes you into producing our 2010 Halloween collection.


Our working title was Creating a Collection in 31 Days.
Well, after reading, you can see that it took a lot longer than that! Here are the links... enjoy and let us know what you think.
