Spring Wardrobe?

I’d like to look more closely at these purses by Vicki J. Wulwick, the Kate Spade of polymer purse makers. They look complicated and intriguing.

Thanks to Lisa for the tip.

French Style

Some day I’d like to be able to wear a scarf like the women in Paris….casually thrown and oh, so elegant. To me, this pin is unmistakeably French.

Magali Thiébaud has combined simple findings, ribbons and polymer squares in a very young, fresh, very French way.

Heart and Soul

All the store merchandise tells us that we’re approaching Valentine’s Day. If you’re in the mood to get your valentines ready, here’s a simple heart from Diane Villano. You can even find a “how-to” on the Polymer Cafe site. Sometimes simple is best.

Polymer Lights Up

by Cynthia Tinapple on January 20, 2006 · 3 comments

Leslie Blackford’s creatures light up a room….really. (You should see the Vegas Rabbit at the left light up. The pig is a light too.)

I intended to keep this bunny under wraps until Easter but I just couldn’t bear to withhold it. Her flying pigs, cats, birds, and all manner of Kentucky wildlife come alive in the silliest and most delightful ways.

It’s a treat to watch Leslie effortlessly turn a lump of clay into a fox and dress him in a polymer Elvis outfit or lean over her shoulder as she adds wings and a fez to a pig. I have one of these lamps in a bathroom and I smile every time I see it. That’s what polymer art is about.

Her web site is a little difficult to navigate but be patient and you’ll be rewarded.
