Korpela’s crinkle cuts

Finnish polymer clay artist, Raija Korpela (Turha Luulo) has me stumped. I’m not entirely sure how she achieves that crinkle cut french fry texture on her beads but I like it.

I’m guessing that she wraps strips of wavy-blade-cut polymer on a bead core. Check out her experiments on her Flickr page. Raija likes to fool the eye. Here’s an earlier post about her.

          Her use of the wavy blade and filigree technique have resulted in a stunning piece! I especially like how she shares her techniques.

            […] I clean up my desk for Friday I note that Raija Korpela has kindly shared her crinkle cut technique with a picture tutorial. It’s an easy, fun distraction for weekend playing.Thanks, […]
