A Piece of Fabric Becomes An Inspiration
My polymer interpretation of a piece of fabric A piece of fabric caught my eye in a fabric store and became the inspiration for my current project. I started out wanting to make a lot of polymer canes (sticks of polymer with a design running through them) in colors that would go together but not match and would make me happy. I also wanted to use up my Sculpey polymer clay that was getting old. I used all the colors I had left and combined them in design strips of various sizes. The wave design you see makes me think of fabric and gives a counterpoint to the structure of lines. The piece above is approx 5" x 7" and it really does make me happy to see it. Canes made into design strips Here's a little about the process: The packages of clay were conditioned so they would be easy to work. I made sheets of thin black polymer to use as wrapping for the finished design strips. I think the black delineates the strip and pops ...
