\"DesertWalkingGownfull120\"<\/a>I have a little something different for you this morning and I will get to this amazing piece you see here at the end. This announcement will go\u00a0out on a few channels between yesterday and today so I hope not too many of you get hit over the head with this but … with the Polymer Journeys<\/em> book coming out next week, we wanted to publicly announce our board’s picks for artists whose work and contribution to polymer art during the years 2014-2015 were particularly significant and inspirational and so were highlighted in the featured sections of the book.<\/p>\n

We are certainly not saying our opinions are the end-all and be-all on this subject, but our consideration came from our own vast experience and education as well as gauging the impact and response we have seen in the polymer and craft communities. Although the creation of this book was in no way a contest, we did feel that making specific note of these artists and their work will further help us understand the direction and history of the medium in years to come. Here are our two featured categories:<\/p>\n

Best Polymer Art of 2014-2015<\/strong>–these are artists and art that pushed the boundaries of what can be created with polymer. All these artists have been recognized for their masterful skills as well as the messages and vision found in their work.<\/p>\n
