\"\"<\/a>I thought these pieces were a good reminder that adding paint to a carved or textured piece doesn’t mean antiquing or otherwise pressing paint into the recesses, something we see a lot of and for good reason. It does create a wonderful effect. But paint can be added to the raised areas as well. This will highlight (in a more dramatic fashion than the\u00a0way the favored mica powders can always accomplish) the pattern or imagery, as\u00a0Pati Bannister<\/a> does here.<\/p>\n

Pati calls these “Fish Sticks”. Pretty cute name to go with the fun, loose, painterly feel of these earrings. The polymer tiles are apparently very small as well\u2014all of 1 5\/8 (40mm) long so the paint is able to jazz up a tiny space quite a lot with its varied color while adding a subtle texture.<\/p>\n

Pati uses paint quite regularly on polymer as well as creating paintings on more traditional painting surfaces. Pati also stays busy with a well-rounded online presence on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a>, and Flickr<\/a> along with selling her work on Etsy<\/a>.<\/p>\n
