horror movie scenes
made of polymer clay

Lizzie Campbell is a UK polymer clay and mixed media illustrator.
She is using both FIMO and Sculpey brands of polymer clay depending on which works best for the design. Before working with polymer clay she used air dry clay but when she found polymer, it became her favourite. Don't miss her interview and article featuring iconic scenes from horror movies along with other articles she was mention on!

Home Blessings - New stuff :)

In Israel, almost every family hangs a Home blessing.
It can be a Hamsa (5 finger hand) or a different shape but it's a very popular ornament.

The prayer's written in Hebrew or in English and asking for peace, love and happiness for the home tenants. Most of us hang it near the main door, to protect our home and family from bad luck and the evil eye.

I love making those unique home blessing wall ornaments, they are a perfect gift!

Karen Lorraine was born and raised in Surrey, England. she has done many different things for a living, from being an environmental chemist to an aerobics instructor, but her passion, her bliss, has always been art. all its many forms.
her current obsession is faces. she draws them on beads as well as on wall hangings.

how does she do it?

The beads that have faces or fairies on them are done by hand drawing directly onto a polymer bead. Layers of translucent clay and sometimes polyurethane are then applied to seal and protect the drawing. No two are ever alike.
her beads have become all about the sketch or drawing, as she consider the bead a tiny canvas for my art.

Luann Udell

Her main influences are archeology, oriental art, primitive and naive art. She is fascinated by museum displays of ancient art and anthropology, and she deliberately echoes their display aesthetics in her work. Her wall hangings feature small models of fish and horses, inspired by the prehistoric cave art found in the cave of Lascaux, Chauvet and Alta Mira.

..."I imagine an artist of the distant past, far removed from us in time but not in spirit. I imagine the things she made -- simple tools, beautiful ornaments, carvings of horses and fish, simple cloth -- all have been rediscovered and kept, treasured, reset in new surroundings. Their original meaning is perhaps lost to us, but their beauty creates new echoes in our modern hearts."....

Lynn D. Troldahl Hershberger found the polymer clay at 1991. She became attracted to working with Polymer Clay primarily because of its color range and creative flexibility, All of her work also glows in the dark, she uses millefiori, mokume gane, and was fortunate to be able to study with Nan Roche.
