A bit of a break to ease into the Thanksgiving holiday. Pause and refresh with these lovely polymer clay mixed media pieces from Texan Diane Falkenhagen. Her compositions often combine imagery, usually transfers onto polymer clay, with fabricated metal forms and a diverse range of art media.

Diane’s work is exhibited widely and has been published in many magazines and books, including the most recent Metalsmith magazine.

As she explains, "My intent is for each piece to express a strong underlying idea and to evoke a sense of preciousness derived from its intimate scale, richness of materials, attention to detail, and heirloom-quality craftsmanship." Thanks to Elise Winters for the link.
