Spring 2015 Cover … Your Sneak Peek

15P1 cover MedWell, the Spring 2015 issue of The Polymer Arts is getting whipped into shape, and we can now finally show you the cover. It’s a bit different, being that we have three instead of our usual one artist on it. But the theme is “Diversity”, so it just seemed appropriate to have a diverse cover!

All three of these amazing artists, Wendy Wallin Malinow, Lisa Pavelka and Celie Fago, kindly gave us detailed insight into how they came to work in mixed media, the role that polymer plays in their art and their own tips and tricks as well as a handful of quick tutorials to get you going in combining these artists’ favorite “other” medium.

This issue also has a multi-artist article on alternate ways of coloring polymer, a crazy-fun “string impression” experiment (you’ll have to read the article to understand what that all means!), ways to diversify your polymer income, ideas for changing up your process to bring about breakthroughs in your design and business, plus inspiration from other mediums including in-depth info on using resin and Kroma crackle and a technique tutorial on translating paper quilling into a polymer art.

There will be, of course, tons of other goodies, eye candy and ideas inside. Keep your eyes peeled for the issue due out end of February. If you need to renew or subscribe for either digital copies or print, you can do so at www.thepolymerarts.com/Subscribe.html.

We are taking a brief break in the week to give you all a head’s up that the mailing list is off to the printer on Monday, so if you plan to pre-order the Winter 2013 issue or subscribe or renew your print order, you will want to do so by Sunday night to get on that list. It will take another week before the issue gets mailed off but but if you want it first, this is the list to be on. You can subscribe or renew here: www.thepolymerarts.com/Subscribe.html.

Here is a little montage to give you a peek as to what will be inside:
