[private_archives]While I’m out take a look at husband and wife team Kerin Gale and Charley Slaughter’s automata (you have to click on each link under the category ‘Art That Moves’ to see the different automata).

I’ll bet you thought there was a typo in the title of this post. Did you think I meant to say ‘polymer clay’ instead of ‘polymer claw’? Keep reading…
Kerin and Charley’s mixed media work includes polymer clay. Charley’s Claw was inspired by antique claw and ball furniture legs and Kerin sculpted the polymer claw around a vintage flash bulb. The best part? The claw is hollow and acts as a ‘viewing tube’ – look through it for a mysterious view of the bulb. Sweet!
Watch the Tidbits section today – it will feature jewelry from the happy couple.
