Polymeri Online 30.10.15 | Polymer witches tales, Lorem Ipsum jewellery, Non-dentist-friendly mutations and Coffins and shovels spooky stuff - Happy Halloween!

So here I am at home while my daughter is in the US planning to see the yearly Halloween parade in Manhattan! I'm so jealous!! :)

Join me to another post devoted (almost) entirely to the spooky and wonderful!

Tall tales, Caroline McFarlane-Watts, is a master in polymer clay "witch" craft ;) well, not real witchcraft... lol
She creates beautiful magical scenes using animals, witches and other legendary creatures.

These 'tall tales' are told using scale miniature sets, hand-sculpted characters, illustrations and visual effects. From the concept artwork, the storyboards, elaborate sets, character sculpts and original scripts - everything is created in-house. 
Her work as a miniaturist is featured and sold in 40+ countries and has been exhibited in China as well as the US.

Geometric and colour are always a perfect match. The Singapore "Lorem Ipsum" store is all about basic shapes incorporated together to create a harmony of design.

In publishing and graphic design, lorem ipsum (derived from Latin dolorem ipsum, translated as "pain itself") is a filler text commonly used to demonstrate the graphic elements of a document or visual presentation. There is a lot of calm colour "filling" in these pleasant designs.

In a 180 degrees turn, this site is for the strong at heart -
Morgan Loebel (aka, Morgans Mutations) makes creatures, monsters and mutated things out of polymer clay. He is using switch plates or phone cases as his canvas to sculpt his monstrous, horrifying teethed creatures. 
Most of them are not dentists friendly although Morgan has a long career as dental laboratory technician! Yes!


He uses paints, epoxy as well as polymer clay in his art. His shop is currently closed but you can see more of his work in the "sold" section. Wooooaaaa!

To finalise our post with a scent of halloween here is Tim from "Coffins and shovels".

Coffins, shovels, zombies, spooky stuff, sculptures, Halloween props and other cool stuff are Tim's work. He mention that he has laser beams instead of eyes ;) Why not? 
Tim creates small and large pieces. I'm guessing he uses super sculpey on the smaller ones and other materials on his large sized sculptures but I may be wrong.

Enjoy the weekend fun!

Polymeri Online 12.4.14 | Brooms & Witches, Lines in polymer, Pardo polymer clay JellyFish tutorial, Breaking the molds and Dixie Ann's fresh & flourishing new Flower Academy garden


We are one minute before Passover holiday and I am doing cleaning all around the house and online hoping to finish as much as possible before we're on vacation.
My new website is in it's final stages and soon will be revealed. Can you guess what is will be about? Take a guess! I'd be happy to hear what you're thinking.

Italian Irene Del Re (Creazioni Del Re) is living in a world of fantasy, cute witches, brooms and other smiling creatures. In her process she is sculpturing and painting her designs. I tried my best to make sure her creations are made of polymer clay although couldn't find a reference. If you take a closer look of her "process/studio" shots in Facebook, I think I noticed some tools that belong to our (polymer) world. 

Pedro Da Fonseca
Another polymer(?) mystery is Bulgarian Pedro da fonseca. Although his pieces can be made of wood or ceramics I want to believe it is made of polymer clay. I can see seed beads embedded inside his pendants and not sure this is possible with ceramic (extreme heating) or wood.
His lines, colors & graphic design are delicate and so eye pleasing.

Agne's JellyFish Tutorial
French artist Agnes made cool looking jellyfish with pardo clay, paints, liquid clay and more. She is generously sharing her tutorial in her flickr gallery. Browse her 12 photos for detailed instructions on how to create these creatures (use arrow to move from one photo to another). Her gallery is full of techniques and experiments. She is kind to translate her blog to both english and french.
Don't miss Agnes's tip on how to use plastic shampoo bottles for your beads!

Nick's Chocolate chip cookie
Nick Jodice is "Break The Mold". According to Nick, the name "Break the Mold" isn't just about molds, it's about being different and creative. Nick is moving gracefully from super realistic zombie/monsters sculpturing to fun humorous polymer clay creations (such as this chocolate chip cookie!).



A bit of teachers' show-off! 
Dixie Ann Scott spent her winter preparing her blooming garden with the Flower Academy tutorial. She has created almost ALL flowers in the tutorial!  
Thank you so much Dixie Ann for your hard work and beautiful creations! I am sure you will enjoy these always fresh & flourishing flowers for many years to come!
