These graphic faux enamels from Fabi (fperezajates) have a hip new look. Fabi carves her own patterns into erasers and I’m guessing that she used metallic clay for the polymer base. Inks and powders seem to be involved and she finishes the look with a layer of resin. Like yesterday’s Natalia, Fabi is from Madrid […] Read more
To polymer artists, there’s nothing more appealing than a neat pile of coordinated canes. Show us the resulting bouquet of flowers and you’ve got our attention. These lovelies are from Madrid’s Fabi (fperezajates). A few minutes on her Flickr site will reveal how she’s combined polymer with felt, crochet, books and wood. She even shares […] Read more
Spain’s Fabi Perez Ajates gears up for next year’s classes with a trio of layered polymer rounds (16″. 10.5″ and 7.5″) that work together.

The smooth rounded rock shapes on this necklace from Australia’s Michelle Sansonetti (Zedemee) have a Zen-like quality that appeals. Her swirls seem to calm in contrast with the weather maps that threaten. Michelle credits Spain’s Fabi Ajates for inspiring her in a 2019 class. Isn’t it marvelous how polymer ideas bounce around the world? No […] Read more

The mini-book samples like this red one from Lucy Frycova came out of a recent class taught by Spain’s Fabi Ajates. The cover swivels on a screw (I’m guessing) to show the book’s hidden message.
