\"\"<\/a>I’m still kind of on the theme of looking back this week. How many of you remember\u00a0Susan Lomuto’s\u00a0Daily Art Muse blog<\/a>? What a fantastic blog that was.\u00a0 Susan included craft work of all kinds but spent a large number posts on polymer clay. She truly appreciated the medium and pulled from all corners of the globe for polymer inspiration.<\/p>\n

This piece here is from a Daily Art Muse post from June 2009<\/a> about the work of Sarah Obrecht.\u00a0Sarah used polymer for the color in her sculptural work.\u00a0There is a delicacy to Sarah’s weathered copper sculptures and somehow the polymer adds substance even though it’s a softer, more malleable material. But visually it has more weight and the color pops out from within these metal forms. It’s a lovely combination of the materials used in a sculptural format.<\/p>\n

I don’t know what has happened to Sarah as I have been unable to find recent work or a website for her but rereading the blog post and seeing other examples of her work is absolutely worthwhile. You can do so\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
