Spain’s Ana Belchi celebrates 500 blog posts with a shower of new work. Her Industrial Disease series shows Ana’s efforts at oxidizing polymer clay. Wires appear and disappear in these rough pieces that were inspired by the work of Montserrat Lacomba.

Her Cuerda Seca (translates as dry rope?) group shows ragged edged brooches made of blocks of color divided by deep black channels. Explore all of this and more on her Flickr site.

Ana will teach her oxidation class at the August GredosClayFestival in Spain. Visit the site for all the class listings.

          Cynthia, I supposse ‘dry rope’ is the literal translation, but I coudn’t find the ‘correct’ way to say it in english 😮

          Kisses

              These are extremely appealing in a way I just can’t define–especially the bulgy one; really love that look.
