Polymer with a bite

by Cynthia Tinapple on July 6, 2012

On first glance, I thought these beads by Madrid’s Silvia Ortiz de la Torres were covered with fabric that had been gathered at the ends. Each bead is entirely polymer.

The pinched ends connect comfortably and Silvia and her daughter decided they look like teeth – molars perhaps.

TThese are fabulous but after perusing her flicker site I am very curious about the pics that look like oil spills. Are those PC?

Thank you so much, Cynthia and everyone for your comments. Now, Randee M Ketzel says that these beads remind her of mermaid’s purses, and I agree with her. Another understanding of the same thing.

They are amazing and so are her bracelets with the very thin slices of polymer and her hardware jewelry. Very impressive.
