MAKATI CITY, METRO MANILA Within a year of being an interior decorator, Madonna Liza Cruz thought about doing handcrafted accessories out of her fascination for pieces made of beads.

I was really into beadwork until eventually, I realized it didnt give that much room for me to create more unique designs, Donna says.

She then started researching about other materials, which led her to discover polymer clay, a kneadable material that hardens its form when exposed to high heat.

It was through this that Donna also stumbled upon workshops on making crafts out of polymer clay offered by Angeli Sobrepea, who is famously referred to as the The Beadlady.

With P5,000 as start-up capital plus everything she learned after attending a beginners course, Donna came up with Crazy Notions accessories combining beads, clay and other materials.

Her designs would vary from mini-cupcakes to flowers and other cutesy stuff as she herself describes her creations.
