Polymer Clay Daily

Dever in other Niche categories

Jeff Dever belatedly checked his email when he saw that others had heard about their Niche Award status and found that two of his works have been selected. This one, Nestled Repose, is a finalist in the teapot category. It’s on display through November 8 at the Fuller Craft Museum.

The second, a basket called Tidal Ephemera, is in the running in either the mixed media or recycled category. Jeff felt that it was a good sign to see polymer artists, “….making inroads into categories that are not polymer clay exclusive.”

Malinow eyefun online

Wendy Malinow’s new sites live up to her business name, Eyefun! She brings her illustrator’s drawing and storytelling sensibility to polymer clay.

Wendy explains that, “Combining media of varied value, lots of color, and different emotional connections into a piece that resonates with the viewer is my goal. Using old and new, expensive and cheap, silly or dark, hopefully forms complex layers of meaning and value.”

Wendy’s a three-time Saul Bell Design winner and I’m giddy with excitement at her plunge into the digital realm.  She’s filled an Etsy gallery in addition to her new personal site.

In November, you can see her work in Mobilia Gallery’s quirky show, The Teapot Redefined. Eyefun, indeed! Thanks to Judy Belcher for the link!

Lisa Clarke (PolkaDotCottage) cajoled me into talking about the story of PCDaily for her Morning Coffee series. Her interviews are a nice read with a muffin and coffee.
