Ruffled Polymer Fabric Explorations

Inspirational Art
This week, I’ve had my eye on some ruffled up polymer pieces. Greece’s Eleni Tsaliki has been quite busy lately with a fabric fold and ruffle technique that includes a variety of surface treatments and bright jewel colors, as well as metallics and cutout lace. It looks like her explorations have left no fold unturned in the possible treatments these thin sheets of clay can take on.
This Horizon Brooch shows just a few of her exploratory treatments, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. A quick click on this link to her Flickr pages will show you the amazing variety and beautiful sheets she’s been creating. She also has a tutorial available in her Etsy shop to help you on your way to your own avid explorations.

Eleni Tsaliki has a thing for bring colors and fun imagery.

Eleni has a whole series of pick me up mugs on her Flickr page along with other things to brighten up your Thursday.
