\"cblackburn-dodecahedra\"<\/a>At first I couldn’t figure out what Carol Blackburn<\/a>\u00a0had done here and could only stare at this in wonderment. But then, I was looking at the image on my phone as Randee Ketzel had forwarded it to me and I have to immediately check out anything Randee sends my way. On closer examination (and on a full size computer screen), I realized that these are sheets of Skinner blended clay fitted together using interlocking tabs. Carol refers to them as\u00a0Dodecahedra and mentions in the thread of comments on her Facebook page that she plans to make earrings out of them so I guess they aren’t too big. I sure would love to see them in person. It’s her color combinations that really make these work with all cool or all warm colors on each one, making the variety of color relate.<\/p>\n

Carol does like to play with sheets of clay, much like paper and in ways related to paper art but the durability and embedded color add an aspect you just can’t get in paper. You can see what I mean by jumping over to her website<\/a>. If you are on Facebook, jump over to \u00a0Carol’s page<\/a>\u00a0and check out the comments and conversation.<\/p>\n
