Polymer wallflowers

by Cynthia Tinapple on January 16, 2012 · 16 comments

If you thought polymer-covered switchplates were passe, look again at the work of the Anchorage artist at Bull’s Eye Studio.

She canes and carves and layers home decor items as if they were small canvases. We touch light switches every day so why not make them eye-catching?

Her sculptural wallflowers are captivating and she adds utensils and card cases to her line of functional pieces. Bull’s Eye came to Flickr in late December and you’ll want to keep watching her there and on Facebook.

Love her work! It’s amazing that she has taken one simple motif (bullseye!) and expanded it into such wonderfully creative art. I looked thru her entire flickr pages and never once tired of looking at her art. And like artybecca said, she has a fantastic color sense! Thanks for putting her front and center on PCD.

Katie’s work is wonderful and inspiring! I loved seeing the pictures of her work area….What is the brand of that pasta machine? Think its time for me to graduate to a wider one.
