Comments on: Santa Fe Toops http://polymerclaydaily.com/2007/11/29/santa-fe-toops/ Daily tips about polymer clay art and artists from Cynthia Tinapple Thu, 04 Dec 2008 02:42:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Elise Winters http://polymerclaydaily.com/2007/11/29/santa-fe-toops/#comment-35492 Elise Winters Mon, 24 Dec 2007 23:26:21 +0000 http://polymerclaydaily.com/2007/11/29/santa-fe-toops/#comment-35492 I had a chance to see this piece first hand last week in Sante Fe. One can't tell from the picture but... those silver discs are really the edged of sewing machine bobbins! Cynthia used various size bobbins as "spindle" beads -similar to the way she uses the glass spindle beads made by her husband, Dan. Cynthia, if you want a jpeg of a glass version, I'll send it along Merry Xmas!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('35492','Elise Winters'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('35492','Elise Winters','I had a chance to see this piece first hand last week in Sante Fe.

Whenever people look at my elaborate seedbeaded collars and tell me how much patience I have to do that tiny work - I think of Cynthia Toops incy wincy tesserae and shudder!

I absolutely love that they are combining polymer clay with diamonds I love their juxtaposition of unlikely materials. Cynthia's piece is also stunning in its detail....just beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

I also visite another rubber stamp store that was downtown and owned by a (remote) member of the San Diego Guild.
