On her blog you can see how Wendy Moore’s polymer pod series developed methodically and colorfully. Her collection of pod shapes offered a great place to test the understanding of color that she picked up working through Tracy Holmes’ Colour Deck. Wendy limited her experiments to flat, textured, cutout and stacked graphic shapes and then simply linked them together. The proof of the […] Read more
Here’s the latest version of the Shisha beads that the ladies in the Samunnat Nepal project have been making for California bead dealer, KazuriWest. The ethnic-inspired beads have been very popular in the US market and are now available in new colors. Shisha refers to the tiny mirrors embedded in the clay that echo the exotic mirror-encrusted saris […] Read more
Too much upsetting news! Louise Fischer Cozzi’s calm, understated jewelry feels like shelter from the storm. She takes the simplest shapes and classic patterns and puts them together in a sophisticated way with only perhaps a painted gold edge of flash. Louise was riveting and etching translucent polymer before it even dawned on the rest […] Read more
If you’ve followed PCDaily for long, you’ll know that we have a special affection for Nepal and the ladies of the Samunnat project in Birtamod. Wendy Moore is there now, visiting and planning for the future which was surely shaken by Saturday’s earthquake. (She created these polymer sculptures.) While Birtamod is 250 miles east of […] Read more
Australia’s Wendy Moore sat herself down and had a talk. She’d been neglecting her creative self as she traveled and dealt with various worthy projects (you’ll know her name from the Nepali Samunnat project). When Wendy finally gave her creative side some quality time, this wonderful face cane materialized. The face cane was inspired by […] Read more
My new polymer alter ego from Erica Sturla may skip around the pages of PCD to dress up the place and brighten some nooks and crannies. (What a fun business expense!) Today she’s waiting for you on the “How to get noticed” page. A roof over our heads Give yourself a feel good moment and […] Read more
PCD is back! It was good to take a travel break and I’m returning grateful and refreshed. Of course I took polymer with me. If you look closely at these Tibetan villagers you’ll see that they’re all wearing small square gold pendants I made that feature an image transfer of the Dalai Lama. Whenever travelers […] Read more
Hamburg’s Antonina Lyamayeva calls these her Bagels necklaces. This one is called Eastern Tales. The flat disks have big holes and jumble up nicely. She combines solid colors and patterned disks with a few metal circles thrown in for bling. This design is quite trendy and it’s another good use for bits of your favorite canes. […] Read more
Did Ron Lehocky think we’d celebrate Valentines Day without featuring the King of Hearts? Not possible. His production of polymer heart brooches reached 25,801 yesterday and if you multiply that by ten you’ll have calculated how much this Kentucky doctor has raised for kids. You helped him by donating your scrap. This year he also […] Read more
Thanks to you, the Samunnat Raise the Roof project is building a second story for our Nepalese sisters! Since donations have come from around the world, it takes a while to transfer funds and reconcile currencies. Not to mention that PayPal decided to closely scrutinize the Nepal/Australia account that was suddenly receiving funds. That caused […] Read more
