New ways for old shapes

by Cynthia Tinapple on May 5, 2011 · 4 comments

Slovenia’s Roberta Mohar gives a new twist to familiar techniques with her large flattened spiral extrusion beads. Her pumpkin-shaped beads are cleverly formed from three balls of clay that have been folded and joined.

Roberta brings her own sensibilities to otherwise standard methods of bead making. Look closely at her Flickr and Facebook offerings and you’ll see new life breathed into familiar techniques.

Roberta’s unique, innovative and appealing work is a wonderful tribute to the amazing versatility of the PC medium in the hands of a creative artist. I find her Hokaido pumpkin-like bead shapes especially attractive.
