I’m still trying to figure out what I want to do with these thin translucent shapes. My original idea was to make a vessel…but I’m not sure how I want to get there. Here are a few ‘chips’ that I threaded with ribbon. I’m going to keep playing until the chips decide what they want to be when they grow up.

Japan’s Ohmori Seiko creates polymer clay figures, photographs the models and then digitally manipulates the images to create advertisements for her clients. A new twist on 3d polymer clay illustrations. Loving it.
Polymer clay female forms and 3d objects…

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!

Can’t find much about this artist on the internet, but when I stumbled on Isabelle D’Hauterive’s endearing polymer clay dolls I was instantly captivated. Charming. Folksy. Quietly Colorful.
They speak of simpler times…quiet days…daydreaming

Bernhard Stimpfl-Abele might dabble in polymer clay, but he is forging ahead with paper mache, using the material in new and exciting ways. I admit, when I first saw his work I thought the rings and bangles were metal and polymer and I got a little goose-bumpy. The colors, the combination of slick metals with a textured clay surface…mmmmm. Then I realized that the artist was using paper mache – not polymer clay and the goose-bumps remained! Stimpfl-Abele confidently mixes the humble material with brass, 14 karat gold and sterling silver with interesting, cutting-edge results.
Ring, paper mache & silver
