I Love To Create.....

I have been creating my whole life and absolutely love what I do. I love shapes and textures, which is what draws me to molds. A lot of my inspiration comes from nature, color and a passion for creating things with my own hands. Many people in my life have been a huge influence in my creative life. My grandma was always busy making others happy with her quilts and hand Crocheted doily Christmas ornaments. I also have an aunt who enjoys oil painting and decorating her home that displays her unique creative style. And of course my Mother, who encouraged me by supplying me with all kinds of craft supplies as a child and taking me to the small craft shop in our tiny home-town in Southwest Minnesota. As I got older, I immersed myself in as many arts and crafts mediums as I could. As a young child I was always amazing people with my creations using Etch a sketch, Play-doh, Lite-Bright, Shrinky Dinks and Spirogragh. I gave many of my creations away as gifts and I enjoyed seeing the smiles it brought to my friends and family. As a child, my small tiny fingers were perfect for quilling, which led to making church bulletin paper beads! I also did some weaving, string art and all those types of crafts that were popular back in the day. Eventually I started working in craft stores demonstrating all types of wearable arts, window display and enjoyed instructing craft classes. I couldn’t believe they were paying me to have so much fun! There haven’t been many mediums that I haven’t tried over the years, but polymer clay has definitely been my medium of choice. I love creating with mixed media and adding a variety of mediums to my polymer clay artwork. We opened Mad About Molds in 2004 and gradually increased our mold line ever since. We have a huge assortment of molds in many categories, so there’s something for everyone. Molds are so fun, with an incredible amount of projects that can be created. We offer many one-of-a-kind molds that can’t be found anywhere else! This is unique to many other companies, whose molds are manufactured. Thanks for checking out Mad about Molds! Best wishes, Marjorie Peterson with Mad About Molds Loved by artists all over the world since 2004!
