Sandra McCaw, Ann Dillon, Marcia Herson, Luann Udell, (and I hope I didn’t miss any others) Barbara Sperling and […] Read more
Laura Balombini’s sculptures mix melancholy expressions with color and pattern that sizzles. You’ll have to see the larger images to appreciate the vibrancy of her work. Laura is often imitated so I gravitated to her work as I listened to Seth Savarick’s first virtual master class (From Imitation to Inspiration) on Alison Lee’s site. Even […] Read more
I’m still in a wistful, autumn frame of mind. Nobody tells a moody, wistful tale better than Laura Balombini so I popped over to her site and she didn’t disappoint….seven pages of lovely characters…don’t miss them. Take a look while I bond with my new IMac. Totally awesome. . .
How did I miss the sizzling colors of Suzanne Anderson? I bumped into her (here’s her blog) as I was browsing through Laura Balombini’s site yesterday. She and Laura are east coast neighbors. I found this recent interview and pictures of Suzanne’s studio in the Bangor Daily News. She gravitated to polymer after years as […] Read more

Her assemblages often incorporate metals, wood and found objects. Her pieces evoke nature, religious imagery, a strong feminine point of view and a touch of the surreal. Raised […] Read more
Laura Balombini shows some new lovelies on her site. She credits Tim Burton and Shakespeare among her influences! Laura is one of those polymer clay artists whose works are often emulated. Donna Kato addressed the issue of unauthorized copying on her blog this weekend. It’s considered good manners to tip your hat to your muse […] Read more
Sweet! Laura Balombini's polymer art took "best of show" in our big summer arts festival. Laura was modestly explaining to me her very zen-like response to those who copy her work when the prize police came up with a ribbon and $2,000. Karma? Or the just reward for really fine work? Amist all the potters, […] Read more
Somehow I missed the new works on Laura Balombini’s site….tsk, tsk. She posted some recent works in December that you’ll want to see. Laura’s often imitated but never duplicated. Thanks to Babs Young for tipping me off. . . . . .
