Polymer Takes Flight

Inspirational Art
We’re going to keep going in the trend of award-winning art this week. This is another Niche Award finalist for this year.
This intricate sculpture is both constructed and sculpted, plus it has a touch of paint added. There is so much detail here, but all you initially see is a beautiful, lively bird. This is not something I might have expected of Doreen Kassel until you look at the expression of this piece and realize that the subtlety of color comes from her judicious and light painting techniques.
Her work always has such character and the paint she applies doesn’t look like paint at all. All you notice is the imagery she has brought to life. And it really stands out among the polymer finalist in the Niche awards this year. It’s rather nice to see non-jewelry making the final cut. In fact, out of the 5 polymer pieces in the Niche finalist list, only two are jewelry. You can see all the finalist on the Niche finalists page.
You can find more of Doreen’s charming pieces on her website here. As for me … I’m off for my quarterly multi-state crossing, looking forward to some warmer temperatures on the West coast where I will be through the holidays. See you here on Friday!
