Celine Crushes It

January 10, 2018

Another artist with a bunch of new images posted recently on Flickr is  Celine Charuau. Her alien-like plant forms an interesting combination of materials and forms have taken on a sparkly and crumbled texture, maybe from crushed shells. I’ve seen a similar product used in acrylic nail art although she doesn’t list that.

Here she balances the texture polymer forms with steel leaves. Although the beads are more dimensional, I like the echo of the leaf shapes with the pod shapes. They are basically the same shapes but contrast in dimensionality and texture. It is also the quieter of the pieces she created with this intriguing new texture.

You can see the rest of this collection to date on her Flickr photostream.

Literal Interpretations and Then Some

February 18, 2013

Found this little gem on Pinterest this morning. Tatiana who goes by Yell_owl on LiveJournal sculpts in miniature but turns her tiny sculptures into jewelry or decorative objects. She seems particularly enamored of natural finds such as beetles, fruit, and as you see here, sea shells. Perhaps that is because Tatiana is a biologist as well as a craft artist.

All her tiny sculptures are direct interpretations of natural objects but she’ll add to and accent them just a bit, adding a delightful and sometimes surprising focus to the pieces. You can see more of her work on her LiveJournal pages here.
