The polymer sculptures from Berlin’s Angelika Arendt make me feel good. Words escape me and I can’t explain.
I’ve learned to respect my gut which started singing the moment I landed on her site. The colors, the complexity, the textures. Even the blobs are appealing. I’ll just go with it. Here’s her Flickr page.
Speaking of feeling good, I was pleased to see my work and my faux bosom shown on Julie Eakes’ site. Look only at the work and ignore the augmentation Julie added in Photoshop. Have a feel good weekend.

The complexity boggles my brain! I like the lettuce-y ones, especially, like http://www.angelikaarendt.de/sculptures.html?p=24 Amazing!
(“Faux bosom.” Hehe! I need some photoshopping lessons from Ms. Eakes!)

Whoa! I didn’t expect that! Cynthia, You’re so bubbly! Your rocks are great. That was really fun! What a great sense of humor you have.
I also agree with you about Angelika Arendt, “Even the blobs are appealing”.
Great post!
Thank you so much! It was just the boost of inspiration needed before going off to Poly-paloozza in Tahoe!

Angelika’s work is so special. I can’t explain it, it just reaches out and grabs me. It makes me want to reach out and TOUCH IT!
Cynthia: Your faux rocks are so lovely and I especially like the ones with petroglyphs . The FUN at Julies site also made my day!

When I first saw the sculpture on the left I thought it was seed beads. Spectacular!!! I know from experience that working from the gut works best for me to.
Cynthia the petroglyph faux rocks ROCK! \
Happy PC weekend to you.

Reminds me of a crazy crochet (take off on crazy quilting) afghan. What fun!

Perhaps even more breath-taking are Ms. Arendt’s drawings!…so specific…I wonder if the polymer forms informed the drawings or if the drawings informed the polymer forms…or if they were developed simultaneously….
