Polymeri Online 27.12.15 | Dancing to the sound of polymer clay, Land of horned beasts, Polar sculpturing & Little Vili's furry dolls | Last post for 2015!

Happy Holidays everyone! I hope this post find you all relaxed and happy :)
Today we're all about sculpturing and playing music. 
What? Yes.
Let's go, last post for 2015.

wowflute - polymer clay music
Wowflute people (Joseph and Cristina Cowlishaw) are very into polymer clay music making polymer clay flutes!
A Wowflute is a closed-vessel flute that is based on the NAF (Native American Flute).  
It is a six hole flute configured with four finger holes on top and two thumb holes on the bottom.  It is generally played by ear like the NAF.
Joseph is a mechanical designer with a background in engineering technology and since 2009 they’ve sold over 30,000 flutes! wow!
Can polymer clay used inside our mouth? Well, apparently it can. After getting all the necessary documents from Polyform who assured him about the non-toxicity he is dancing to the sound of clay
Joseph found that working in polymer clays makes a much brighter and clear tone than regular water based clays.

whimsycalling dolls
Dayna Corbitt (Whimsycalling) is building her own “land of the horned beasts and other fantasy animals”. 
She is creating her one of a kind, handmade dolls, paintings, jewelry, figurines, and more. 
She does not use any molds and all of her designs are original and completely hand made. 
Many of her figurines are dressed with coats, felt and other accessories to bring their personality to life. I can understand why Halloween is her favorite holiday.
She has so much more in her facebook and instagram – go follow her!

Oso polar's sculpturing
Another artist focusing on “creatures” is Oso Polar  (polar bear) from Moscow, Russia.
She is creating her own handmade dolls, custom Blythe, Monster High and Pullip dolls, also - handmade hats for Blythe dolls.
Each piece is a master piece, done with extra care and details.

3rd dolls artist for today is Irene Vili also from Russia. Her figurines are all so sweet and intriguing all at once! I love their facial expression!
Vili's cute creatures
The doll body is hand sewn from faux fur, snout and paws stuff is made by hand from polymer clay, glass eyes handmade have the effect of "tracking". then use acrylic paint, protective varnish, epoxy resin, sea pebbles, batting, glue.
All her dolls are looking for new homes J


Wishing you all a great 2016 to come! 
May this holiday season brings you infinite joy, happiness and creativity, happy spirit and healthy body & soul!
Enjoy your holidays!

Polymeri Online 11.10.15 | Peanut portraits, Grimoire polymer magic, Corpse Bride tutorial & Animals 'clay' Kingdom


In the spirit of the upcoming Halloween here is some holiday magic -

Steve Casino is a worldwide known artist who uses peanut shells to create his figurines.

You can imagine how much work (and patience) the creation of such an art piece takes. He mentions 20 hours only for the sculpturing, not including the preparing of the peanut.
You can see a glimpse into his process in his Facebook page and although I couldn't find a specific mention of polymer, after asking him about it he said he does. He is using our medium as a base colour (flesh) then placing in the oven for baking before painting.
In his story video he mentioned "wood filler" to smooth the peanut surface.
He also sculpts figures (foil armature) inside tins, boxes or other leftovers objects which get new life with his work.
I wonder who eats all the peanuts he takes out of the shells... I'm crazy about nuts :)

Valeria is the founder and designer of the "The Black Hen Grimoire"/ "Grimoire La poule noire" studio. The reason why the studio decided to take the name of medieval alchemical treatise about creation of magic artefact is that each work of "Grimoire" is not only decorative, it's also an attempt to make a person think about his/hers own place in the world of reality and fantasy.

I love the Corpse Bride movie. SugarCharmShop (Tanja) YouTube channel is demonstrating Emily from the movie. The tutorial hypnotising! (as well as her soft voice)
Tanja is 24 years old, her education was a 'sales assistant' but currently she is a full time artist/YouTuber.

Another most talented sculpture is Snorky Club (Anna), a Russian artist specialising in beautiful animal figures sculpted in much details and amazing accuracy. Bears, Elephants, foxes, dogs and many more are in her personal cage free zoo!
