Daily tips about polymer clay art and artists from Cynthia Tinapple
New York's Scot Connor takes covering his Bic seriously. He's a professional sculptor, teacher, illustrator who has gravitated to polymer clay.
Connor's work covers a wide range of subjects…from the Seven Deadly Sin series to human figures to creatures and cars. With such varied interests you know there are some stories behind this talent. I wish I knew more. Take a look and you'll see what I mean.
You'll want to lose yourself in the Scottish Gallery web site. Take a deep breath and go for a spin.
What drew Susan Rose to the site was the vibrant work (described as artificial resin, acrylic and PVC) of British designer Peter Chang. Chang comes from a background in sculpting and graphics. If his work doesn't include polymer clay, it's surely related.
His work is reminiscent of Ford/Forlano, Wendy Malinow and others. There's more of Chang's work to inspect here too.
I couldn't resist sharing this "Beauty" link with you. This short video clip says it all.
Klew's palette is right in season. Here she's taken one of her lovely focal beads and surrounded it with stones and beads covered with seed beads (click on the image for a larger view since I haven't described it adequately). She calls it "Serendipity." It's new and a lovely thing to behold.
Klew says she's adding more of her work to her web site so be sure to browse there.
California's Margaret Angelo creates one-of-a-kind polymer clay animal head sculptures on jester sticks. While it sounds silly and her site is truly a riot of pictures and video and sounds, what will stop you in your tracks is the lifelike quality of her works.
The animals in particular seem very real - even with the funny hats and collars. It's a lively way to start your week. Thanks to Susan Rose again.
Kit Walker (aka Kittycat Black) from Brisbane, Australia rounds out our week of weird, wonderful polymer clay jewels. Her designs are quirky, irreverent and young with lots of emphasis on chokers.
Enjoy another link from you-know-who and have a wacky weekend.
And in the spirit of the season, today we bring you the figures and automata of Chomick and Meder. These sculptures contain a great combination of alluring and repulsive. Most of the sculptures are produced in resin but they're obvious cousins of polymer clay. The series pictured at the left is called "Pin Heads."
Be sure to cruise through the gallery of Bawdy Women. Susan Rose sent the link (not that she's a bawdy woman).
It's a dark and stormy morning…just the right kind of day to visit Michelle Steele. Michelle's an Ohio girl (she lists her age as 106) who's been sculpting away since we last took a look in December. It's worth another cruise through her updated site. Her work is dark and wonderful.
