Color burst polymer

by Cynthia Tinapple on May 12, 2011 · 9 comments

The back and the front of Lynda Gilcher’s “Color Burst” necklace are equally intriguing. Examining polymer work in person allows you to enjoy the construction and the details. Take a look at the back.

The disks are cane slices textured in a specially created mold. They’re mounted on shanks that allow them to be strung on a cable. Lynda’s idea is efficient and the effect is both delicate and eye-catching. Kudos for cleverness.

Lynda offers the supplies in her store and shows more of her work on her group site. (Another late night….I can’t keep this up!)

It’s a wonderful piece Lynda cant wait to see it, I love it, nothing to fall off or come unglued. It’s also nice to see another member of our guild get recognition for there WORK, especially someone who puts so much work into our guild.

These are very cool, good work Lynda! Cynthia, I don’t know how you do what you do, but it means so much to so many, now go take a nap, you’ve earned it! And I will be doing an article on you for PolymerCAFE one of these days, just a warning, you’re the best!
