The Winter 2014 Cover–Boundaries

Finally, we’ve got it done! Here it is to tease you until it comes out at the end of November–the cover for the Winter 2014–Boundaries issue. We are honored to have this classic mixed-media piece by Tory Hughes grace the cover. It celebrates both the season and the theme so well.

The articles in this issue are truly amazing. I don’t know how we lucked out getting so much talent in one issue. There’s the insightful interview with Tory, a definitive technique tutorial on silkscreening by Tonja Lenderman, Joseph Barbaccia shares his process for his stunning polymer strand illustrations, Anke Humpert reveals her new global project titled 1700 Pieces and many, many more artists share their art and thoughts as co-contributors throughout this issue.

14-P4 Winter 2014 Cover borderedHere are some of the article titles for the Winter 2014 issue:

–Design: Working the Visual Edge

–Painting in Bounds: The Essentials of Silkscreening

–Frame It! Jewelry Frames & Bezels

Aging Like Porcelain

I restrained myself from presenting any crackling techniques lately (cracked textures being a weakness of mine!) but I figure enough time has passed to share this beauty and mention a couple of polymer friends along with it.

This if the work of Tonja Lenderman.  She developed this technique which is posted on Polka Dot Creation’s page for free viewing. It looks like the full-detail tutorial is being published in the upcoming issue (Pink) of From Polymer to Art, due out in less than a month. Although Polka Dot Creations is phasing out their retail shop, Lisa will still continue to distribute the next couple print issues of From Polymer to Art in the US. So do get your copy reserved through them here.

In the meantime, if you are in a crackling mood, take a crack at this technique (I had to say it!) then you can review the full tutorial to improve upon what you’ve learned.
