here is a new approach to hollow lentile beads by Sally Sotelo
this is a close up of the top- the tear drop cutters that I used are the smallest available- but i love the way it turned out- look like a blossoming flower.

** When I was little I used to knit and quilt but for years I don’t do that anymore. Two years ago I was invited by the local importers of Premo to make something that will help them promote the Baken'bend and show its abilities.After a lot of thinking I made this bag that combines, clay,quilt and knitting (this is bag is now owned by Marrie Segal).




the delicate, Japanese style cane and beads made by Olga are so impressive. I don't know how big they are but I think they will look great combined with pearls.

and if you fell inlove with Olga's touch in Polymer clay don't miss her flickr album and her tutorials

אם התאהבתם בסגנון העבודה של אולגה אל תפספסו ביקור בפליקר שלה ובהדרכות שהיא מציעה
well it is not Polymer clay but how can one not be inspired by the vibrant colors used here? I love graded effects
Sharom Rotem makes the most wonderful Hamsas doesn't she? when I look at each one it feels like she is using the base of the Hamsa as a canvas for her polymeric painting.
Sharom is a memeber of the Israeli Polymer clay guild.
שרון מכינה חמסות מדהימות נכון?כשאני מסתכלת על כל כל אחת מהחמסות שלה יש לי תחושה שהיא מתייחסת לבסיס החמסה כמו ללוח ציור שעליו היא "מציירת" בחימר פולימרי.
שרון היא חברה בפורום אומנות בחימר פולימרי הישראלי.
