\"Red<\/a>I saved these beads for last because for all the color, texture and wow factor we saw in the other beads this week, these are the ones that I find most\u00a0impressive. The care and precision shown here make them some of my favorite polymer beads to date.<\/p>\n

The creator of these\u00a0amazing pieces is Cody Craynor. He has many sets with similar motifs and forms, but this set shows a wider example of possibilities when using his bead making techniques. He has the ability to create variety and movement within his designs. How he does this, I’m not completely certain; although, he gives some first hints on this post on his website from 2012<\/a>. \u00a0He has some interesting things to say concerning\u00a0his approach, too:<\/p>\n

“By its nature, polymer clay lends itself to organic fluidity and sculptural forms. But through mechanical intervention I coax the clay to comply with my own mathematical rigidity.\u00a0Unpredictable chaos makes up much of my life. The clay allows me to create forms, symmetry and rhythm, which are personally therapeutic and welcomingly familiar to my instincts.”<\/p>\n

Well, I do like his instincts! You can view more of these visual marvels on Cody’s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
