Perhaps a little black and white polymer from Maria Psaltis will cool off our hot summer. Maria is from Australia where it’s winter.
She does a cool rendition of Ronna Sarvas Weltman’s Ancient Modern rings and then pairs them with her more complex Persian Rug canes for building bangles. See more of her ethnic influences on her Flickr pages. (Ronna has two new DVDs just out.)

Congrats Maria, those canes are so wonderfully tribal and organic- despite the geometry. I love them, they really work well.
Ronna Sarvas Weltman ,
They’re delightful and beautiful. It’s such a rewarding treat for me to see artists use techniques from Ancient Modern and make them their own. Maria, thank you for sharing your work,,, and Cynthia, thank you once again for giving us this fabulous community to connect with each other.

Beautiful rings and canes Maria. I’m loving the “paisley” looking cane and the bracelet/cuff you created.

Maria’s work has just rocked along! I remember her coming to my classes a few years ago and the stuff she produces now is truly divine 🙂 GO MARIA!
