How Do You Make Pretty Worms?
I don’t know that I have ever thought of worms as pretty. Fascinating, yes. But as a subject for a pretty piece of jewelry? Well, maybe not so much.
However, Klavdija Kurent pulled it off quite nicely. I love pieces like this. As a polymer artist, I cannot help but stop and try to figure out how she created the layered effect, especially the worms.
I don’t have it quite down yet. She does a lot of image transfer on other work but it seems more dimensional than that. It does look quite a bit like the wax impression technique we featured in The Polymer Arts magazine a while back. What do you think?
Even if one can’t figure out how an artist accomplished an effect, the exercise can be good for your creative muscle. You might even come up with an idea about how to do something with polymer you hadn’t thought of or seen before. And, besides, it’s just fun to see if you figure it out.
looks like embossing powder to me…really looks neat. 🙂
Ah yes! That could very well be it, Tejae.
Kinda reminds me of cloisonne. Looks like it might contain mica powders, liquid clay, and or alcohol ink?
I think this is a representation of microscopic fungi. Don’t have any idea how she did it though
Oh, I almost missed this post. Thanks for posting, it’s a great honor for me!
All the charm of this technique is in in such homemade Textur and in several layers of baked lquid Kato. It is just important that each layer is completely transparent…That’s all 😉
