An accurate polymer picture…

As a guest blogger, I would like to direct your attention to an issue that affects the polymer community and to offer you the opportunity to have your opinion heard.

The manufacturers are grappling with many issues that center around reformulating polymer and bringing the best product to market. Your response to this comprehensive survey allows you to rank which issues are most important to you. With an accurate picture of our needs manufacturers may make products that suit us better.

Grab your favorite beverage and expect to invest 10 to 15 minutes of your time to answer 40 questions. The responses will be tallied and sent as one document to all the polymer manufacturers. Here’s the survey.

As a thank you for your efforts, you will have a chance to win an autographed copy of Terra Nova – Polymer Art at the Crossroads, released in conjunction with the opening of the Racine Art Museum’s exhibition. This special book has been signed by all the boundary-breakers! To enter the drawing, fill out the survey and comment on this post “I took the survey.” Then check next Monday to see if you won.

Editor’s Note: Congratulations to Carol Dotin, winner of this giveaway. Thanks to all who participated.

      I took the survey and am grateful that Lindly etal initiated this endeavor to convince the manufacturer’s that they have a responsibility to the professionals and serious hobbyists that standardization of formulations , color choices and product consistency is important. Thanks.

                          I took the survey! It was fun, and didn’t take long at all. I learned plenty from it, too. I saw trends in my own art that I hadn’t considered before, as well as seeing brands I’d never heard of but am now curious to try. The book looks amazing! Hopefully our voices will be heard and taken into consideration. Thanks so much!

                            All of the brands have advantages for certain approaches and techniques, I would encourage you to experiment with some unfamiliar ones.

I’d looked at the book on the Racine site- thinking of ideas for Christmas presents the holiday season. Was glad to see input from artist was being considered. I realize that many outlet stores sell to hobbyist that may not know about mixing their own colors but most any artist with basic color mixing skills knows that primary colors are essential.
