Summer ends with color

France’s Mathilde Colas’ colorful site is just what we need to begin a glorious weekend. Take a look at her glowing work. She has several books in print and a new one out next month.

The link was sent in by Wisconsin’s Sari009 whose site is a fun diversion as well (caution, it loaded slowly for me). Have a great Labor Day weekend.

It's all in your head

I’ve missed a few of our polymer clay nightlights from a session with Leslie Blackford last week. This will give you an idea of the silly fun you can have with a glass votive, some transluscent clay, a small light bulb and a dash of imagination.

Playing like this is a great exercise and the results are often surprising. I had no idea that a strange Walter Cronkite lookalike lived in my head. Click to see a few more twinkling samples.

And here’s Judy Dunn’s.

Summer Fun

This memory wire bracelet from Anne White Designs is perfect for end-of-summer polymer clay fun. The colorful transluscent beads are separated by hollow cording strung onto the wire. Clever, don’t you think?

Anne is from the Cincinnati area.

Momentum

by Cynthia Tinapple on August 28, 2007 · 1 comment

Italy’s Bernard Stimpfl-Abele shows some high style polymer clay rings on his gallery site complete with his working drawings. Stimpfl-Abele’s work is a collision of organic and surreal in the vein of Peter Chang, Wendy Malinow and Ford/Forlano.

It’s a type of design in polymer clay that’s gaining momentum. Food for thought and a feast for the eyes.

I’m sorting my conference pictures and notes and will share them later this week.
