alexis pierre-louis’ polymer clay experiments

Sign up here to receive the DAM newsletter.

First I want you to read how Alexis Pierre-Louis came to name her blog ‘Love Kill Monster‘. The story made me all teary-eyed. Then wander over to her website where Pierre-Louis boldly shows her experiments with a variety of media. I love what she’s doing with these ‘finger ornaments’ - mixed media polymer clay rings. Our beloved medium has not yet reached its full potential in this area…not even close. I look forward to seeing more rings from Pierre-Louis and other artists whose curiosity leads them on.

Looks like wire and polymer clay – very interesting. I can see this maybe capped with small polymer beads – or thin polymer clay discs that swirl around on the wires (if it is wire).

This looks like an old relic…look at that patina!

    oh so very Ronna-esque!! And how weird that they’re both Seattleites. Something in the rain water, I guess.

    Hi Susan,

    As you probably guessed (from the link on my Love Kill Monster blog), I’m a big fan of your site too! Thanks for the nod. I try to experiment all the time. I’m in love with polymer clay and I have a deep appreciation for artists like yourself and the dynamic duo, Steven Ford and David Forlano, who try to take polymer clay to new levels.

    Hi Alexis – It was the link to PCNotes on your site that led me to your work – and I just love your wildly experimental side – keep it up!

    And Loretta – I meant to mention that they were both from Seattle – thanks for noting it! Yup, must be something in the water…

    What a delightful find — Susan, thank you for introducing Alexis and me to each other. Such fun!

    I suppose it is the water — the slow trickle, the incessant gray cloud cover, the drip, drip, drip of the Pacific Northwest probably fosters a bent aesthetic that is just a little frightening … and all that moss … outside and inside our heads ……………
