\"Cara-Jane-Polymer-Clay-Faux-Turquoise-Ring-Polymania-2016-wm\"<\/a>I was going to focus on mixed media this week, but I have run into a plethora\u00a0of fabulous faux wood work, so I can’t resist showing some more. Where is this coming from? Is someone out there teaching a class or sharing a tutorial that I missed? Well, for whatever the reason, the trend has brought us some truly lovely faux wood like we’ve rarely seen before.<\/p>\n

This ring by the ever-exploring\u00a0Cara Jane Hayman<\/a> just knocked my socks off. What a wonderful mahogany and inlaid look she achieved here. It’s dramatically\u00a0paired with an almost graphical looking faux turquoise filled with a bold spiderweb veining. It’s terrifically real looking but aside from the impressive faux work, the pairing of visual\u00a0textures in an uncomplicated form\u00a0highlighted with a meticulous finish makes for a beautiful piece.<\/p>\n

If you happen to be in the UK\u00a0next year around, say, March 18th-20th, you absolutely will need to go to Polymania 2016<\/a>\u00a0where Cara Jane will be teaching this ring as a workshop. You will also be able to take workshops with Claire Wallis, Bettina Welker and Donna Kato at this 3-day event. Check your calendars and get more information on this event<\/a>\u00a0and the skinny on this ring<\/a>\u00a0on Cara Jane’s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
