Peeli’s Intricate Precision

March 26, 2014

Sometimes I feel like I post a bit much on the polymer embroidery technique but it’s hard not to fall in love with the intricate beauty of the work. Peeli Rohini has a lovely set of polymer embroidered beads right at the start of the gallery of beads in the Lark’s 1000 Beads book. There is such a precise and well thought out patterning in Peeli’s application of this technique. It really looks like intricate needlework.

Peeli’s work is inspired by the rich and ethnic cultures all over the world and their rich luxurious fabrics. She has a passion and love for polymer clay and a longing to create miniature wearable pieces of art! Check out some of her photos of her work on her Facebook page also.

Tiny Glitzy Spring

June 8, 2013

So, yes, the other day I encouraged the idea of simplifying your color scheme and focusing on the shape of your floral work. Not because simple is better, but because it is an option you might want to consider to express the ideas or beauty you want to convey. Sometimes, you want anything but simple.

There are certainly times when complex and glitzy is exactly what is called for. Peelirohini makes some very showy pieces using polymer embroidery, filigree pieces, and beads with lots of rich colors and contrast.

This is really quite the opposite approach from the beautiful work we saw on Thursday, but it’s equally gorgeous. I would say, for me, the subdued earrings with minimal color are more my style, but there are a few people I would love to see wearing these colorful earrings here. Whether to make a piece subdued  or a bit over-the-top comes down to what you want to say, the impression you want to make, or maybe even the person, outfit, or room you would like to pair it with.

Sometimes, what you make just comes down to who you are. As artists, we are always putting a little of ourselves out there, so work that represents us tends to be fulfilling. There is no right or wrong way to approach the work. except maybe closing yourself off from considering a direction you don’t usually take. It’s like pushing yourself to go take dancing lessons when you don’t think you can dance. You won’t know if it’s something you enjoy until you try it. So I say, try a little bit of everything. Go subtle. Go wild. Art is an adventure.
