It’s All in the Details

June 4, 2014

Russian artist Natalia Lemeshchenko makes these monochromatic color scheme jewelry sets with intricate patterns that look a lot like hand embroidered fabrics. The details are so exact and executed to perfection; I can only imagine how much time and patience it takes to do this quality of work…not to mention keen eyesight and a very steady hand! If you like embroidery or needlework, or if you have ever wanted to try your hand it at, you might try some polymer designs inspired by these fabric techniques.

Jennifer Morris has a mixed media approach to her polymer clay work. She has a signature embroidery style that uses an ever-changing mixed-media combination of polymer clay infused with gold and silver leaf, and she often incorporates recycled papers and fabric pulp into her designs. These fringed earrings look like heavy stones, but are actually light and airy when worn.

Let Jennifer’s work inspire you to push your materials into unexpected places, using them in fresh new ways. Try a little mixed media by adding different materials to your work or by embellishing your work with embroidery or crochet stitches. Check out this interview with Jennifer on Etsy.
