Love of Coffee
February 7, 2015 Inspirational Art
On this last day of representational imagery, I thought I’d leave it on the light side, as well as take the chance to celebrate my favorite beverage!
Isn’t this pen just too cute? Tama of DetallitoOz does cute so very well. All of her work has such character and style. And cute imagery works best when it has a really great personal style coming through. From the little coffee pot on top to the swollen cups full of rich java, this pen is playful and energetic, so much so it’s making me feel a real need for a cup of joe myself!
See more of Tama’s wonderfully styled pieces on her site here. This little lamb would like you to come visit him.
And do continue to send me your love stories! A free digital copy or equivalent credit for The Polymer Arts print editions for each story I share, not to mention how happy and excited that special someone in your life will be when they see their story with you out there for all the world to sigh over. If you missed it, there are more details on Wednesday’s post about our Valentine’s Day contest.

Re-Imagining An Owl
February 2, 2015 Inspirational Art
While cruising the farthest corners of the internet last week looking for conceptual pieces, I came across a lot of beautiful representational imagery in polymer. Concepts are created in art using imagery; concepts can also be created abstractly, or concepts can be embodied in the function, location or timing of the piece. And, I think, all representational imagery is obviously not conceptual but sometimes simply the artist’s view or translation of something out there in the world or within our imaginations. Sometimes, you just want to sit back and enjoy something well- or cleverly rendered. So that’s what we’re going to do this week.
This first piece feels so much more than visually representational. I imagine that, while wearing this necklace with the segmented feather beads, the wearer’s movement would make the the feathers shift, in a smooth subtle way. I think it could bring to mind flight or the owl gently ruffling its wings. The idea of something that flies combined with a design that moves and floats is just lovely. It represents the bird and an action of the bird. Rather clever.
