Polymer eggs, chicks and bunnies have been popping up online which means we’re closing in on Easter. Have a look at this lushly covered egg by Missouri’s Chris Kapona (Mandarin Moon).
She makes her bejeweled creations using small polymer balls, twisted snakes, a few textures and accent paint. In effect, she doodles with clay.
Chris tells a cautionary tale about how she nearly ruined it all by buffing the baked piece with new, unwashed denim. Plus she adds a few other tips. She’s also active on DeviantArt, Etsy and Facebook.

As a fellow learner from mistakes, I loved reading Chris’s post about discoveries. There is a name for us types but I can’t remember it! Chris might like Neil Gaiman’s observations abut mistakes here: http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2013/05/14/make-good-art-neil-gaiman-chip-kidd/
Love the egg!

Lovely! Reminding me of springtime- a patchwork garden of luscious greens and yellows.

I love the work…I always feel a connection to it. I think Chris and I must be kindred spirits :-):-)
