Kansas’ Tiffany (SmithAvenueClay) waves the flag in her latest earrings on Instagram. Her designs are parade-worthy.
The fourth of July was made for extruder lovers and cane-making fans!
So squeeze out some stars and layer up some stripes! It’s just around the corner!
It’s not as if I need more earrings but these days that’s what gets me into the studio. I see many wonderful simple designs and feel compelled to try some. This teardrop is slipped onto a little hoop. New pandemic hair color put pink back into my wardrobe.
I can’t stop making dots with the leather cutters I gifted myself. I’m obsessed…and that’s a good thing. Here’s hoping you’re obsessed this week.
It’s been a fruitful week for Ontario’s Seanna Bettencourt (thepolymergarden) as she launches into week 2 of a 33-week challenge. She devoted this week to improve the process. Seanna’s cane-slice petals gently cup the buds.
First came the design and petal making. Assembling was too fiddly and intensive for production. She refined and refined until, like Goldilocks, she got it just right. Here’s the finished product.
Sunny days may inspire you to dig out the translucent clay like UK’s Belinda Ashton did.
Light streaming through thin colorful polymer is a wonderful Monday project. Belinda has gone thinner and brighter with each of her experiments. These flower petal shapes glow.
Hello, Monday!
Montreal’s Isabelle Masse (tribu.urbaine) updates the cameo with these polymer dangles. Or are they coneheads? Very modern either way.
The shop name translates to “Urban Tribe” and she’s true to the name. She mixes her media with care. There’s an appealing grunge about her works.
Her doctor told her that she needed to move to feel better. He was right and she hasn’t stopped.
This week’s StudioMojo delivers a heap of new faces, classes, and ideas. I dig deep so that you can save your fingers for the studio. This week we talk about how your work changes you and why you need to continue. Keep on!
Maryland’s Ali Bojanowski (bycamelliadesign) drapes red, white, and blue into patriotic earrings for Memorial Day.
Granted, it will take longer than the few seconds that Ali shows here.
But fast forward to the end of May, and you could be sporting these flag buntings on your ears in the town parade.
Folded, draped, and wrinkled polymer is quite fashionable this year.
Phoebe (Otie & Co) introduces breezy basketweaves into her swingy earrings.
The texture adds hints of lazy days, picnic baskets, and porch furniture.
Phoebe started making boho baby art when she first started. That quickly morphed into baby mama jewelry and art.
Visit her IG for a taste of summer.
StudioMojo just got flashier and more fun! After 10 years, it was time to shake things up.
This week there’s everything from Mother’s Day micro mosaics to instructions for making your own polymer clay.
Throw in some new Corlite, polymer painting, and extruded earrings and you’re charged up and ready to launch yourself forward with gusto.
Join us for this Saturday morning shot-in-the-arm.
New Jersey’s Donna Greenberg adds a secret to her scrappy leaf earrings. On the front, she adds dots for interest.
Only the wearer knows that the back is as interesting as the front. Donna added an overlay of cutout clay. It’s like a private message from the artist.
Donna reminds us that the back is as important as the front.
Maryland’s Rachana Saurabh brings her heritage to all her artwork. She paints elegant, colorful Indian women. Her delicately embellished polymer earrings show an unmistakable folk art influence as well.
Now she merges painting and polymer this new Lotus Pond panel. Watch her add these blossoms on a background of swirled and spiraling extruded strings of blue.
This month all Rachana’s sales are being donated to the COVID 19 crisis in India.
