I like that this polymer clay Obama by Rosemary Squire comes from beyond our borders as people all over the world celebrate with us on inauguration day.

Squire is a UK-based illustrator who creates three dimensional illustrations. In 2008 she received the British Association of Illustrators’ Critic Award. Her models are created using polymer clay, wire, found objects, and cloth, which are then digitally photographed for illustration.

Rosemary’s work is influenced by her close observation of people and their quirks and her politically inspired pieces in particular add a light hearted touch to otherwise serious subjects.

While she doesn’t toot her horn very loudly on her own blog, others like Lost At E Minor sing her praises. Enjoy the day.
