New Year’s Eve

Who better to celebrate the New Year with than that crazy Bulgarian, Dinko Tilov? I'd lost track of his site and through a series of links (visit clay wizard), found him just in time for a polymer clay New Year's party.

His characters are wonderful exaggerations. Note the devil and angel at the right who may be whispering on your shoulder right now as you consider your last bite of 2006 overindulgence. Happy New Year!

You'll have to wait for my year end wisdom and inspiration.

Buna Bounty

by Cynthia Tinapple on December 28, 2006 · 1 comment

I love it when humble materials are given new life and utility as they are in these new polymer clay pieces by Maggie Maggio. Maggie repurposes buna cord as earring bails and as stretchy ring bands…a bit of a twist on the technique devised by Donna Kato for her pendants and bracelets.

The rubber o-rings give the treatment uniformity and add to the finished look. 

These are from Maggie's Terrazo series of new designs from resurrected 10-year-old canes

I'm pondering the past year and the one ahead…hence my daliance and dabbling of the past few days. I expect to be hit with some outstanding predictions and revelations at any moment. Ponder these lovely designs as you await enlightenment.

Down Under

by Cynthia Tinapple on December 27, 2006 · 0 comments

How do you get out of holiday mode? I'm still lounging and unmotivated and ready to shop online at the drop of a pixel.

In my quest to find old friend Michelle Fanner, Barbara Forbes-Lyons suggested that I join the Australian Polymer Clay Artists Group which I did. There's some over-the-top work down under such as these works by Lisa Henderson.

I've been following her links and exploring the world in my bathrobe. It doesn't get much better.
