I’ve Just Scratched the Surface…
That statement is a double entendre meaning that I’ve physically scratched the surface of these components, but also that I’m exploring the many facets and possibilities polymer clay offers. Although I’ve worked with polymer clay off and on over the years, I’m taking more time these days to experiment with various surface design techniques.
Having sat idle for some time, my carving and texturing tools are being put to work once again gouging freehand designs into cured polymer clay. I find myself drawn to minimalism in art these days and possess little patience for working with elaborate design. Simple shape and form call to me at the moment. But life and ideas are ever changing and what I’ll be up to in the coming weeks and months is anyone’s guess. For the time being, I’m satisfied to be carving clay!
