\"\"<\/a>Take an already enticing, beautiful organic texture like crackle and literally \u201cbump\u201d it up with a wonderfully organic bumpy texture and you\u2019ve got a real powerhouse of a textural combination.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s basically what Shelley Atwood did with these otherwise simply designed earrings. You really wouldn’t want to do a lot more with this as you would risk making this overly busy. The simple round shape and the round negative space reflect the roundness in the bumps but then the crackle comes in with an\u00a0edgy and erratic energy that contrasts nicely with the predominate soft forms and shapes. The choice of color also brings additional energy to this organic terrain, the reds and yellows playing nicely with this contrasting combination of textures.<\/p>\n

Shelley has been playing with dots and bumps and other heavily textured surface applications and techniques for quite a while now. Her Flickr photostream<\/a> looks like a massive sampler of textural surface design possibilities in polymer. Pop over there or peruse her portfolio on her website<\/a> for all kinds of textural inspiration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
