~ ABOUT 'NEW CLAY' ~ |
|
THE 'SPIRITED BEAD' IS DEEPLY SPIRITUAL We met Karen several years ago and have been fans ever since. Her work is very collectable and very durable even though one might think that polymer clay is vulnerable. We believe it is stronger than glass. Karen explains her technique with polymer clay is the same found in the ancient glass canes of Venice. 'A cane is a bundle of colors painstakingly gathered together to create a design or picture when seen from the end or cross section'. She explains 'they become like a thick puzzle. When the cane is formed, it is then compressed, stretched, rolled, pressed, squeezed and flattened to reduce the size of the cane...' + EACH COLOR IS A DIFFERENT PIECE OF CLAY Once this is accomplished, it is sliced. She makes a ball then flattens it. She slowly works other cane designs into it. Once the bead is complete, she makes the hole then bakes it. She often adds tiny elements of designs to the surface like an appliqué. To finish her work, she sands the surface with 'many grits of wet/dry sandpapers'. Finishes range from satin smooth to glossy. Note that every color you see is a different piece of clay, there is nothing painted on the surface. +
