Ann Dillon pulled out a selection of her latest brooches, simple and elegant design solutions in polymer. Slices of extruded cane patterns cut at different heights stand next to each other on top of layered, textured bases cut into loose shapes. What took the most time, Ann admitted, was deciding which extruded circle patterns looked happy beside each other.
Ann doesn’t often refresh the pictures on her site and Facebook so it’s a treat to rifle through her latest works here in Virginia and give you a peek.

As well as producing wonderful work, Ann is very supportive and generous with her praise for the rest of us in the polymer community. It is lovely to see her getting recognition on PCD, thank you Cynthia!

Love your work. How do you get such a gorgeous finish? I’m a metalsmith who is fairly new to polymer. I mostly bezel my work and make earrings in s. silver. Do you sand?? Really beautiful.

I must’ve looked at these brooches twenty times today. In addition to being great-looking, elegant, and even kind of fun, I think what I really enjoy about them is they seem like a perfect embodiment of polymer clay — they don’t look like anything else.
