\"\"<\/a>As much of a focus as Ellen and Sue have on polymer art at Creative Journey Studios, they make plenty of room for other types of beautiful craft mediums.<\/p>\n

This work here is by one of the other craft artists they show and sell at the studio, Deb Karash<\/a>, who\u00a0works with metal and, surprisingly enough, colored pencil.\u00a0Her\u00a0reasons for choosing this combination of mediums sounds much like what many of us say about working with polymer.\u00a0 In her words, “drawing on metal provides a surface that is unique and can\u2019t be achieved any other way. Colored pencil drawing allows me to blend colors and create patterns that are uniquely mine. I draw on metal because it is strong but easily formed. I create jewelry because I appreciate the intimacy of an art form that is worn on the body and that, historically, carries emotional weight.”<\/p>\n

Her colors and forms might even impress one as polymer at first glance, making her work a possible source of inspiration for designing in polymer clay. Take a look at more of her pieces, and drink in more of her beautiful color, on her website<\/a> and her Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
