Tricia Dewey’s newest polymer beads hum with color and they come with a good story.
Tricia bought Christi Uliczny’s popular “Rocky Path” tutorial and modified the instructions extensively to create beads rather than pendants. Tricia used the tutorial as a launch pad to combine leaf and alcohol inks and mica powders on polymer in her own way.
Sidelined by an elbow injury, Tricia was taking a break from her fossil series of polymer/encaustic multimedia wall art to experiment with beads. Using a new set of instructions and working on a smaller scale, Tricia’s signature style still shone through.

Tricia’s lovely beads really resonate with me today. They remind me of the essence of Spring. I love to see an artist start with a technique developed by another and transform it so it’s new, fresh, and totally their own.

Beautiful, beautiful work! My first impression was the Mars surface, and then Jupiter’s Red Spot 🙂
And, so professional to give credit to someone else (Christi, in this case), even if you just utilize their technique as a starting point.

I am very intrigued by the ‘wrapped’ quality of the rosy gold beads, which are exquisite. Wonderful result, wonderful inspiration, must check out the tutorial! I don’t believe in re-inventing the wheel….

Lovely work, Tricia, and how nice to give credit where credit is due to Christi. Her Rocky Path tutorial is wonderful. There are a zillion things you could do with it!
