Watch Dawna Sharp experiment with polymer clay! She’s only been working with polymer clay a year and a half, but you can’t tell, can you?

She gave credit for her quick progress to the generosity of the online polymer clay community sharing tips and encouraging her to keep going.

She shares her works in progress on Facebook, friend her there to see what she’s up to next. Check out her Artfire studio as well.

Switching identities

by Cynthia Tinapple on November 1, 2011 · 7 comments

Tory Hughes made this new necklace specifically to wear at last week’s RAM gala. It’s part of her new SeaCliff series using various techniques with the major elements pin-hinged together. Sea Cliff is a reference to an area of San Francisco that Tory sees as full of light, color and energy.

The necklace was on Tory one minute and then on Penina Meisels the next. (Tory decided it looked better on Penina.) Maggie Maggio’s necklace migrated to Cynthia Toops’ neck. It was as if the artists were switching nametags. The game to keep up with who was wearing whom made me realize how good it is to develop your own signature work.

See Delphine’s other seasonal designs here. She’s also on Facebook and Flickr.
