I like the use of wire and liquid polymer clay shown in this piece by Italy’s Laura Bocchi (Verdevescica). We last looked at her bangles here and you can see her year at a glance in the pictures here.
If you’re wondering about the market for your work during this economic downturn, you may be encouraged by yesterday’s article in the NYTimes.

Time for falling leaves, polymer clay style. You’ll find these leaf pins on Donna Kato’s site along with some other new work including more fabulous bangles.
Speaking of Kato, I’m loving the faux lampwork beads from Sharon Solly who’s mastered using colored liquid polymer from Kato Products to simulate glass. Take a look at what she’s doing. Metallic liquids should be available soon.
Garie Sim gives his own interesting side-by-side comparison of liquid clays which he colors himself with oil paint.

The use of colored liquid polymer clay is growing in popularity. North Carolina’s Sharon Solly’s faux lampwork beads shown here and yesterday’s multi-layered pendants by Lesya Binkin are tempting me to give it a try.
Sharon’s been perfecting her liquid clay techniques and shares some of her secrets (fantasy cabochons) in the June issue of Polymer Cafe magazine. Her faux lampwork is a promising new twist.

When we looked at Israel’s Lesya Binkin a while back (here), she was creating pendants made of multilayers of liquid polymer, metal leaf and embedded items.
In her most recent work, she transfers laser prints of her densely patterned illustrations (she started out as a fashion designer) to polymer, embellishing them with layers of sparkle and a glossy coat. This wise use of her illustrations gives her a new line for the season.
