Fascinating Hidden Clasps
November 25, 2015
Inspirational Art
Another absolutely fascinating article in the newest issue is the one by JoLecia Crowe on hidden front clasps. I think she must have tried every possible hidden clasp there is and she shares a ton in this variation article.
The beautiful piece shown here didn’t make it into our pages only because she sent so much and magazine space is limited. So, yes, there is a clasp in that bunch of flowers somewhere. Even after reading, editing, and working on the layout of that article, it takes a minute to figure out where the clasp likely is as it is so well hidden. Can you guess?
JoLecia also has a brand new website and store where these beautiful pieces can be admired and purchased. And, if you still need to get your copy of the Winter issue so you can read up on her great techniques, you can do so with us online here.

Out Of Hiding: The Winter 2015 Cover of The Polymer Arts
October 28, 2015
Inspirational Art
For our Winter issue, we present to you this dramatic cover with a beautiful piece by the very talented Jeffrey Lloyd Dever. As you see here, the theme for Winter is ‘Hidden’. We’ve been super excited about this issue and got started on it early in the year, actually. There are a lot of techniques and tips in this issue. We wanted to give you a lot of juicy ideas to work on over the Winter (or while escaping the heat down in the southern hemisphere) and for the New Year.
Articles will include things to create:
–Hidden Patterns: Variations in Mokume
–Hidden Composition: Creating Unity with Geometry
–Concealed Light: Polymer LED Jewelry
–Hidden in Plain Sight: Seamless Front Closures
–Secret Spaces: Polymer Box Construction
–Hiding Loose Ends: Finishing Options for Stringing
And things to ponder:
–Of Values and Intentions: The Art of Jeffrey Lloyd Dever
–Behind the Wall: Breaking Through Artistic Blocks
–The Hidden Cost of Doing Business
–Muse’s Corner: A Hidden Polymer Pioneer
… and so much more. Due out November 22nd.
I’m still on the road here, so my apologies for the brevity of this post. I’ll get more information out in our newsletter Thursday or Friday and we’ll get pre-orders going by then, as well. We’ll confirm that here on Friday, too!
