Taking polymer out on a limb

by Cynthia Tinapple on January 28, 2011 · 10 comments

Tamara Shea’s “out-on-a-limb” polymer series hits a topical theme that we’ll consider more deeply next week. The season of hearts is upon us and I’ve been collecting polymer versions for your pleasure.

I’m struck by Tamara’s consistent quality and search for inspiration. All her Block Party Press polymer jewelery pieces are original designs from drawings turned into hand-carved stamps. She documents her daily inspirations on her blog and customers respond to her out-on-a-limb heartfelt art. Have a heartfelt weekend.

I’ve always been impressed by her amazing imagination. Her work is very refreshing and her shop inspired me to try Etsy myself. (Love acrylic on polymer…)

Consistency is right! She has carved out a personal style that is instantly recognizable, yet refuses to grow stale. I always look forward to the next series. Intelligent, slyly fun, and sweet without the schmaltz–Tamara deserves every bit of her considerable success.
