\"il_570xN.855587056_byal\"<\/a>So, I’ve been staring at this piece and the several other views of it, as well as\u00a0similar pieces by\u00a0Lorraine Vogel of Wired Orchid Jewelry<\/a>, trying to figure out what she might have done to achieve this effect. The layers are both in the slightly raised form of the imagery as well as in the application of color. I can usually figure out the basics, but I’m a bit stumped. Is it stencil? Purely impressions on clay? Did she use liquid polymer for the translucent effect, or oil paints, perhaps?<\/p>\n

I think what I like best about a piece like this is that the look transcends the material, so you are admiring the look long before you stop to consider what it is made of or how it was accomplished. My brain jumps to how it is done pretty readily, no matter what the piece, but work like this makes me stop a moment before I go there. As always with Lorraine’s work, I’m first struck by the quiet, rather unassuming beauty she imparts in her pieces. This is aided by muted tones and limited palettes, as well as simple forms that just happen to be canvases for intricate applications.<\/p>\n

Lorraine also has a very interesting eye for photographing her work. Take a tour through her collection on Etsy <\/a>and on Flickr<\/a>\u00a0and look at the angles and set-ups she uses to show off her pieces. Her photos alone are pretty inspiring, but take a close look at her work and you’ll notice that flawless finish on every piece. There is something so admirable about an artist who considers every aspect of their work down to how us online viewers\u00a0get to see it.<\/p>\n
