I couldn&#8217;t resist sharing this fabulous tabletop\u00a0created by the very exploratory <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bridget_dercs_photos\/\">Bridget Derc.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Primarily I wanted to share the process photo. Don&#8217;t you love peeking in on people&#8217;s studio tables? In the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/TPA_TOCs.html#Spring2012\">Creative Spaces themed Spring 2012\u00a0issue<\/a>, we peeked into a handful of people&#8217;s studios. That was the quickest selling issue we&#8217;ve ever had which makes me think we need to do some more of that in the future.\u00a0For now, we&#8217;ll peek in on Bridget,\u00a0 who shows us here how she lays out her beautifully constructed canes to cover tabletops.\u00a0She also tends to the size of the tables as shown in the last photo that I couldn&#8217;t resist adding because it&#8217;s just such a beautiful pattern and color palette.<\/p>\n<p>She takes process shots of that white table nearly step-by-step, and not having room enough to show that here,\u00a0I posted this to entice you to jump over to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bridget_dercs_photos\/\">her Flickr photostream <\/a>where you can see it all.\u00a0That table and all the process photos are o<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bridget_dercs_photos\/page2\">n her second page of Flickr photos<\/a>. The one you see the process for here is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bridget_dercs_photos\/page1\">on her first page<\/a>. But take some time to peruse it all. Not only are her pieces lovingly finished, but you get to see how she puts it all together. Does it give you any ideas?<\/p>\n<p>If you want to peek in on a few other artists, open up your spring 2012 issue of the Polymer Arts and go to the website to download a digital version at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/TPA_TOCs.html#Spring2012\">www.ThePolymerArts.com<\/a> It is only available digitally but if you&#8217;re curious, go to our website and you can get an immediate download.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bridget Derc&#8217;s fantastic polymer cane tabletops, as seen on The Polymer Arts blog, www.ThePolymerArts.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[5956,365,266,697,1667,640,5957,787,5952],"class_list":["post-14925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-inspirational-art","tag-bridget-derc","tag-canes","tag-color","tag-decor","tag-pattern","tag-polymer","tag-polymer-tabletop","tag-process","tag-veneers"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2O0Lm-3SJ","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14925","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14925"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14925\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14925"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
