I’m using Kate Clawson’s garden-inspired polymer creations to give myself a fresh start. Life events have intervened and left me with unfinished projects and forgotten chores that I plan to tackle this weekend.
In my own overgrown garden I hope to find the beauty Kate sees in her lush vegetation. She says that she wants her beads to “…recall many a wonderful memory of the farm days and the great meals from the bounty of the earth.”

She impresses plants into polymer, adding paint to enhance the delicate details. Enjoy more of her work on her Etsy sites and Flickr pages. Have a rejuvenating weekend.

Kate’s work is Wonderful !
Her pieces always remind me to slow down
and enjoy the details found in nature.
These beads are perfect reminders of Summer’s bounty of beauty!

love the queen ann’s lace; I’m impressed at how beautifully the flower took to clay..nice! The purple birch leaf droplet is really intriguing to me…guess it’s the unexpected combination of color, shape and subject..love it..

I agree with jana…Queen Anne’s Lace is such a delicate flower but Kate’s impression captured details so well!

I love the concept of capturing the memories of the garden and its bounty and I so appreciate the beautiful way in which Kate accomplishes her goal.
