Fine Lines

June 2, 2014

Sorry about the problems and delays last week. We are back on track and we’re going to continue looking at various pieces where the craftsmanship really makes the difference.

In this shawl pin by Ukraine’s Asya Kuzahmetova, the lines are perfectly applied and the neatness and finely crafted details make for a simple but lovely piece. She has a whole series of these pins on her Live Journal page and they all are similarly well finished. Some are even monochromatic which makes the details stand out even more.

Exploring Texture Variation

September 3, 2013

Did you see yesterday’s post? I mentioned that you could possibly take some of that artist’s textures and apply them to other kinds of work. Well, here is a bracelet that has a couple of those textures, using crowded polyp-like pieces and point-impressed dots of clay, along with (I think) canes. It’s quite an inviting undulation of texture moving organically across the cuff bracelet, don’t you think?

This is the work of Ukraine’s Asya Kuzahmetova. Quite a different piece for her, but I think it’s a great direction that she started exploring late last year. Asya does a lot of exploring, taking classes with master polymer artists and continuously  working on different forms and applications with varying degrees of success; but the important thing is, she does explore, and lets herself go to see what comes of it. In the process, she hones her skills and her finishing work. I think she’s definitely someone to keep an eye on. See more of her work on her Flickr page and her online shop.
