Of course, pieces like this splendid celestial clock by\u00a0<a class=\"mem_link\" href=\"https:\/\/vk.com\/id11208045\">Natalya Polekh<\/a>\u00a0could be created in a very similar fashion with polymer. Large textured sheets and fun with alcohol inks and mica powders could produce similarly stunning results so I took a\u00a0 closer look.<\/p>\n<p>Natalya looks to be a well-known mixed media artist in Eastern Europe and Russia and when I say mixed, I mean all kinds of things. Her primary materials look to be\u00a0various types of acrylic paint, dimensional and pearling paints, 3D gel, embossing paste, and glass and metal accents of different types. She works in texture, mosaics and layered media that is applied in such a way that knowing the materials is rather superfluous. She creates a beautiful complexity of texture and motif with shine and shimmer applied in abundance but always in a tasteful and often intriguing manner.<\/p>\n<p>She does much more than clocks although she has done quite few of them. Take a look <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livemaster.ru\/helop13\">at her shop<\/a> for more clock and textural ideas as well as very well priced tutorials on how she creates this work.\u00a0 Her VK.com page has more images.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my search for clock inspiration, I veered a bit off the polymer path, but then again, I kept running into pieces that I thought were polymer but were not.
