HI! My name is Deb Tuchsen and welcome to my Etsy store. I\'m a 45 year old single mother of 3 wonderful kids. My home is in San Antonio, which inspires a lot of the Southwestern themes in my art.

What I do?
My passions are drawing, photography, and polymer clay. I especially love portraiture - taking people\'s family photos and making wonderful drawings or paintings for a family heirloom.

My polymer clay work mainly involves customizing millefiori canes for beads for school & college jewelry and custom face canes. The school and college jewelry has my own design of a school or college logo in the school colors and many of the designs are used for fundraising purposes. The face canes are intricate, detailed canes with varying skin tone and hair color - some even with mustaches! They are wonderful to make a custom gift for mothers, grandmothers, or teachers or even to add your \'child\' on to your school jewelry. If you\'re interested in any custom jewelry, please use the request custom item link at the right.

I have a secondary site at http://rengaldesigns.etsy.com where you can commission custom drawings, painting, or graphic designs. I also can put any design I make for you onto polymer clay beads for extra special gifts and memories. Many of my art pieces featured on my design store can also be purchased as prints at http://RengalSA.imagekind.com/
