Polymeri Online 27.5.12 | Mirror mirror, Miniature polymer art, Matching jewelry sets and Funky foam stamping


Iryna's Roses Mirror

Iryna (Eten-Iren) sinchuk creates romantic hair accessories using tiny polymer clay designs. Each rose, petal and flower is designed into a perfect final piece - in this case, a mirror.
Her work is so delicate and pleasant to the eye.

Miniature Polymer Clay Art by CartoLinda
Miniature art has always amazed me, how does someone uses his/her hands and fingers to work on these tiny tiny items?
CartoLinda's photostream is full of little flowers, charms, cakes and miniature food placed next to a cent to show how small they are. In this photo you can see one of her doll houses.

Isa's Matching Polymer Clay Jewelry and Outfit
Isa's french blog is something every fashion designer is heart and soul will relate to. She is all about matching her outfit and jewelry!
Every skirt/shirt/pants/dress she has (almost) gets the approproate attention with a perfect match of necklace, rings and earrings. Take a look at her posts, each one holds a new surprise :)

Funky Foam Polymer Clay Stamp by Grgalina
Grgalina is sharing with us an interesting lesson how to create a reverse stamp (raised) using funky foam and a rubber stamp.
The idea is to take the funky foam, heat it with a heat gun for 30 seconds and then stamp it with your stamp.
This may seem a shallow stamping, but according to her it is quite deep.
When finished you have a reversed stamp you can use on polymer clay.
She also tried the heating process with boiling water (careful!) and it turned out as well. She explained her process in detail on her blog, use a translator to read her entire post.
Another look at it can be seen here

Have a great weekend!

Polymeri Online 21.5.11

I was digging a bit in Etsy and found this COOL group called PCETeam = Polymer Clay Enthusiasts Team. This team is for anyone who makes, sells, & enjoys the art of polymer clay (and is on Etsy).

Lot's of goodies can be found under their team - wonderful artists!

Here is the 1st batch, I'll have to find some time to go over the rest -

Fauxhead! After years of working with paper sculpture, Stephen
Kinsey made the leap to working with polymer clay - faux wood,
ivory and steampunk! so cool!

Freehearts has been creating things with some form of clay for
38 years and discovered polymer clay about 27 years ago, started at a very young age carving animals out of soap, knitting Barbie Doll clothes, and building tiny houses complete with furniture, her main goal when she designs something is to get a smile :)

twistedcreatures grew up on a farm surrounded by animals of all kinds, always loved drawing and other creative activities. Some years ago came across polymer clay and ever since have been having fun combining this medium with the love of animals. All animals are ooak, each individually sculpted, many including
embellishments such as beads, crystals and metallic paints and powders.

This Polymer Clay Bear Roasting Marshmallows is perfect!
Today we are having "Lag-Baomer" holiday, and the most well-known custom of Lag BaOmer is the lighting of bonfires. The traditional "dish" (if i can call it a
dish") is roasting marshmallows on fire! Thank you Molinda from BranchesofMyArt for this cutie! check out her lovely sculpturings!


last one - If you're into sculpturing and always wanted to know how to sculpt heel shoes - here is a tutorial for you by Doll Street Dreamers website - You'll find many other tutorials related to doll making (although not all polymer clay related)

Have a great weekend!
