I have been on a quest to create a new product line that incorporates cast offs from industry. Now that construction has come to a halt, the glass I need for my River Series is a tad more scarce.
A fellow artist has been commissioned to create an awning structure for our City. The top will be copper. I was at his workshop visiting when I saw cut offs of copper. Aha. A new material to work with.
I’ve been experimenting with combining the metal cutoffs with polymer clay the way I do with my glass. The bracelet above is my first stab at it. I have sculpted the clay to look like turquoise to interesting effect.
The bracelet is chunky and makes a statement. Perfect for an art opening (I do have one coming up – no wait . . . two coming up.) And, I learned a thing or two about the materials that will make the next one even better!
Stay warm and inspired.
