Oregon’s Jennica Elizabeth Blanchard creates pen and ink illustrations on polymer plates in her Etsy shop. While she calls them polymer plates, I’m guessing that she’s making her base pendants from liquid polymer (correct me if I’m wrong).
CraftSynergy has an interview with the artist in which she describes her work as “delicate, detailed, visceral.”
Perhaps it’s the fragility of these pieces that appeals to me in my fragile condition. I’m on the mend.

I’ve been watching Dylan Edwards post his daily polymer clay monsters for months. They’re particularly relevant today when I could swear that’s what’s living in my lungs though my monsters aren’t that cute, I’m sure.
Let’s hope they scurry away soon. Meanwhile, visit Dylan and ponder this,

Here are a couple of openwork polymer clay pieces by Maryland’s Keith Brown to tantalize you this Monday morning.
After looking at this for a while I’m still not sure how he constructs his works and I’m intrigued. You can see that Keith has mastered the technique if you look at his bowls and trays.
Light and shadow, positive and negative – a mystery to start your week. Thanks to Bettina Welker who pointed out the new additions.
