\"Arieta0074\"<\/a>We have some incredibly beautiful work in the gallery sections this issue. We are\u00a0very fortunate that we got Bonnie Bishoff and J.M. Syron to showcase their new work (and grace the cover) and are thrilled to have\u00a0the latest work from\u00a0Staci Smith to share with you, as well.<\/p>\n

The surprise gem of our collection in the Summer issue of The Polymer Arts<\/a>\u00a0galleries, I think, is the beautifully patterned plates by\u00a0Arieta Stavridou<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0Nicosia, Cyprus. We had an incidental conversation on Facebook about the Polymer Journeys<\/em> book and in clicking through I found this photo of them. Not that applying canes to plates is new, but her pattern and color choices are just gorgeous. Placement, orientation, and pattern combinations are very intentional, intention being so important in art, especially in something like this. I loaded a large image of this plate collection so you can click on it and see the detail better.<\/p>\n

I talk a bit more about intention in art in my editor’s letter in this issue, as well. And, of course, we have many more of Arieta’s plates to admire along with her fun teapots in the Summer issue’s gallery pages. You can also see more of her work on her Facebook pages<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Inspirational Challenge of the Day: <\/strong>Create or design a piece with very intentional repeated but varied patterns. This can be several different canes, hand tooled marks, or repeated motifs. You could even do a combination of these. Combine the elements used for the pattern based on some specific concept. Any concept will do as long as it has a very intentional connection, such\u00a0as\u00a0analogous\u00a0colors, the flowers in your garden, symbols of ancient Greece, or images that remind you of your beach vacation.<\/p>\n
