Polymeri Online 24.3.11


Wall cakes's store is full of wonderful hand crafted decorative switch plates.
Her story reminds me a little bit of my own, when she lost her job she re-discovered her love of art. She says that "losing something is sometimes the best thing that can happen to anyone". As a teenager, she took classes, made things on a loom, watched and helped, her mother and aunt ran a small business making ceramics. Her inspiration comes from the mediums she works with. Polymer clay can be whatever you want it to be - so true.

Olena Mysnyk is a 26 year old designer, studied architecture in Kiev, but once found herself in creating jewelry - she tried to work with polymer clay and could not stop. She creates delicate, bright and tender flowers made into beautiful jewelry.

Katie Oskin has been crafting for the majority of her adult life, but about 2 years ago she began to experiment with polymer clay. Since then she has fallen in love with its affordability, its multi-purpose uses, and the relaxation it provides (squish, squash, bake, crack, paint, oil, cure, etc.) Their designs are mostly whimsical, fun, and humorous in nature. From the cute & cuddly, to the monsters & robots!

Amy was always into the arts in one way or another since she was a toddler. Her latest obsession is working with polymer clay. She has been trying different techniques & experimenting, but still pretty new at it. She loves sea creatures, mainly cephalopods. Octopus & squid are her favorites as you can tell by looking through her shop.

Polymeri Online 11.3.10

It's been a while since i posted some links, i find myself doing so many things and in the same time not doing enough! i have so many plans and so many things i want to finish by the end of this month and i can't figure a way to do it... time management? i think i heard this expression some where... :)


In Synergy i saw Sophia Lenz’ polymer robots and i loved them! they were so handsome, i googled for some more polymer clay robots and found some cool robotic friends -

Robots by HerArt SheLoves - all kind of sweet robots such as bunnies, round and square ones, each have their own personality, they look like a toy with their springy arms and legs but they are certainly a piece of art to put on your shelf or table :)

One more - sleepy robots by Lisa starchild Pinkston which makes adorable small robots, her mission is to spread the idea that clay figures can be just as detailed and collectable as vinyl designer toys, and they are handmade which make them the ultimate collectors item - she is so right!

Another robotic shop in Etsy is - http://www.etsy.com/shop/boltsandbots
bolts & bots (see photo on the right) is making celebrity robots! this is so cool, i found some LOST figures there, Mad Hatter, Mario, Care bear and so many others.

Just searching in Etsy for clay robots, i found tons! you may want to take a look.

And speaking of Synergy etc, I met Julie Eakes while she was holding a big big cane in her hands, when asking her what cane was it, she said it's a new cane she made for the event - CFCF (her cane was hidden inside leftovers so i couldn't peek), anyway, i was a good girl and waited patiently for the final result and ... OMG, that was an amazing face cane! she is the master! both me and Mira were lucky enough to get a piece of it, and i immediatly made myself a pair of beautiful earings out of them! browse her blog and you'll be amazed by her millefiori work.
