My best friend, Susan, is setting up a show for me in Orlando next week. She and several other clay artists have opened a gallery called Claybodies...they mostly do ceramic work but have also included polymer....and up until yesterday I was working hard at getting everything done for that. Here are a few of the pieces I did for the show...
it's always fun to have a show to do, it gives me motivation to create work I might not otherwise.
In this case I've made some bangles... it's hard to stop once you get going on those...thanks to a wonderful tutorial from amazing polymer artist and fellow instructor with CraftEdu, Melanie West. She has a great Etsy store with bangles and tutorials here:
http://www.etsy.com/shop/CorvusFliesI learned to work on brass and found it very satisfying...I've never really covered anything before so it was a bit scary at first but now I feel like an old hand at it lol....
I also did a piece with wild stripes and a split pendant.....
and I think my most fun piece was this one....I took a painting I did some time back and made a transfer...something I learned from Kathleen Dustin's workshop....I can see myself going in this direction...it's what I've been wanting to do for a while now, combine polymer with my painting....
....speaking of painting, I am all set up and ready to photograph my first class for CraftEdu...nervous but excited.......I'll let you know how it goes...
Bye for now!
I have been having a great time making these....it's addictive....the technique is loose and painterly and more fun than I've had in a while...
