Do your “readers” and other specialized spectacles scatter themselves around and end up in all the wrong places?
Polymer to the rescue via Ukraine’s Iryna Osinchuk-Chajka (Eteniren) and her clever sunglass stands and wall mounts.
A notch on the top of each big polymer nose creates a secure resting place for spare glasses. No more rummaging around the house at the last minute. Iryna is a clever artist making her way through tough times. Art for organizing and for a cause.
Ok, enough with the trees and ornaments and such. I need a break. You too?
The sunglasses from Israel’s Gaila Daniel were just the thing. Edgy, bold, different.
Galia is a great lead-in to my plug for StudioMojo. We go deeper and head to wherever that leads us. This week we found links to several videos that lead you inside polymer factories and TED talks that explore the reasons behind the joy we find in polymer art.
It’s all fair game in our Saturday morning newsletter that gets you thinking.
This quirky, abstract pendant from Massachusetts’ Kathryn Corbin is both decorative and efficient when you have no pockets and a house littered with reading glasses always out of reach.
Kathryn solved her problem in an arty way. Bits of pattern, some rough texture, and colors that go with everything ending in a loop for hanging readers. Why be boring? We’re artists!
Kathryn loves to experiment in the studio and she sent this and pix of other juicy projects along to prove it.
We were chatting about the IPCA global interactive exhibit in February. The deadline for submission is January 15 which gives you plenty of time. Lots of categories and awards! Not an IPCA member? Join here.
Game of Thrones fan Marie Segal felt compelled to make an iconic goblet that reflects her favorite show’s sensibilities. She piles on the flourishes and adds vining leaves, fleur de lis, hearts and other insignia in polymer.
Washes of metallic and dark paint give the glass a heavy ancient air and make it fit for the Khaleesi. What a great gift for a special occasion!
Here’s the glass up close. You’ll find more Marie on Facebook, the Clay Factory, and Etsy.
