Polymeri Online 15.4.15 | Instagram Polymer finds, Sculpture-Mania, Mix media faces, Nail decals on polymer and my 2015 New INKredible alcohol inks and polymer clay jewellery class samples

This week it's Instagram-Polymer!

Domenico's figurines

Domenico Scalisi is a sculpture posting in Instagram as well as working in Etsy (his shop is closed at the moment so you can take a look at his sold items).
Domenico is from Italy and his creations are intriguing.
Both fun, smiling yet seems distant and sometimes sad.
He is using his sculpted art as figurines as well as on jewellery findings, creating custom portraits and designs. His Facebook page is fascinating.

His Instagram account gives you a glimpse into his process work - https://instagram.com/nobuhappyspooky/

Jacob's sculpturing

Jacob M. Reeb is another Instagram & Etsy's find, creating mummy dolls, or other collectible items, carefully sculpted to give his items an amazing character. He mentions acrylics, super sculpey as well as resin as his main materials, mentioning the items may break when falling. His store slogan "Confronting the shadow within..." genuinely reflects his art.

Nail decals on polymer

Fancyful devices (Marina Rios) describe her Instagram account as "Victorian tribal rustic cosmic assemblage jewellery". She feels the happiest when she is sitting in a room when she has million of supplies all around her. She is a mix media artist but sometimes uses polymer clay in her work. Realising she had no flat coin beads for bracelets, she experimented with little fingernail decals on polymer.

I am getting ready for my class with new 2015 INKredible alcohol inks and polymer samples.
It was a fun adventure going back to my known alcohol inks techniques, with new knowledge I acquired during the years (INKredible was first released on 2012!).
It was a game of mix and match, adding new materials used in my newer tutorials while being loyal to the inks and previous class. I think this will be a good start for a new INKredible II class!

Organic by Sona

Sona Grigoryan posted beautiful organic semi-hollow bracelets on her Flickr gallery, joining her recent line of antiqued-organic pieces. I couldn't find a lot of information about this artist but her photos shows that she enjoys her time with crocheting as well.

Gloria Ewing's jewelry

The art of stringing a final piece, whether it is a necklace, earrings or a bracelet is no less important than the separate elements themselves, sometimes even more important.

The most complicated, elaborated polymer clay focal beads will not look well unless it is threaded wisely with his "fellow" beads.

Gloria Ewing takes her time with combining her perfect match of a final product. She is mixing metal, copper, wire, other beads in her tribal, contemporary and as she calls it "uninhibited" style jewelry.

Polymer clay wall clock

Mystic Dreamer Art (Ann Kruglak) creates colorful fun gifts ranging from jewelry, mirrors, masks to large wall pieces.
Her earnings are 100% donated to save rain forests (and she saved 1224 acers so far; 50$ saves 1 acre).
Most of her larger pieces are custom made so if you're looking for a neat wall clock and you want to help saving the planet, this one is for you :)

Snowman ornament by Kim

Kim from Clay Peeps seems to get ready for the holidays season.
While I'm experiencing 40 degrees Celsius here (Israel), she's listed snowmen, penguins and santa clauses in her Etsy store. A great way to cool down and think of the winter :)

And speaking of holidays, I am continuing my work on a new PolyPediaOnline tutorial, I think this one is the biggest I've ever done!
Completely out of my comfort zone; New techniques, new shapes, new tools;
Thank god the clay is familiar and friendly :)
It would be ready just in time for the holidays and I am sure it will be as I expect it to be - very informative and very creative.
I know you want to know what it's all about but it is still confidential ;)

I will be away for a week traveling and teaching in Czech Republic, be sure to follow on Facebook and Instagram for on site pictures.

I made new samples and jewelry to take with me, here are some of the Cosmic Ceramic jewelry (mostly earrings) and more INKredible earrings and necklace as a sample to the class I will be teaching.

Polymer Clay Angry Birds - FREE How-To Video

Who doesn't like angry birds?
I just LOVE them :)

About 2 months ago I had a "special order" from my nieces to create small angry birds earrings.
I went straight to work and left the camera on while working (don't worry, I don't work so fast, the video is 300% faster then the original...;)
So just before I start packing my suitcases and fly to Maryland, here is a quick and easy tutorial for red angry birds and green pigs.
These were snatched up before I even got a change to take their final photo!

B.T.W - Did you know that "Rovio" people, who invented angry birds, are from Finland?
I didn't know that.
After emailing them and asking for their approval I noticed it!

Have fun!
