\"\"<\/a>We are going to hop back to the new book, Polymer Art Projects\u2014Organic<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(which you can still get 10% off<\/a> on for the next couple of days, promo code PAP10<\/strong>), for one last day this week to give you another taste and some additional information on one of the beautiful projects in there.<\/p>\n

One of our contributors, Fabi\u00a0Ajates<\/a>, has this wonderful collection of objects at the end of her tutorial, showing you some of the different decor items you can make with the many little techniques she teaches. In a conversation we had after the tutorial was in layout, I found out that some of the objects are actually reversible and Fabi, with the help of her son David, graciously sent us these additional images and some information about the pieces for you to enjoy. Here is what they sent:<\/p>\n

CORAL KELP<\/em><\/p>\n

All the textures and shapes I create are one-of-a-kind and handmade, conceived in the pursuit of the pieces\u2019 harmony and the most dramatic result. Furthermore, the project [in the book] is meant to be versatile because it can be used not only to create jewelry such as the necklace, but also d\u00e9cor elements which can add a touch of individuality. When used for interior design pieces, these can have a double purpose which makes this technique even more resourceful, attractive, and interesting.<\/em><\/p>\n

What looked like a turquoise coral vase from which a leaf of kelp languidly emerges, has become a bowl or small plate.\u00a0We observe the same effect with the piece that imitates an anemone; its face changes relative to whether it sits upright or it is reversed, while it contrasts or harmonizes with the landscape and with the rest of the pieces.<\/em><\/p>\n

Inspired by coral and marine vegetation, [these forms are] mysterious nature that awaits silently like a treasure in the depths of seas and oceans whose colors and shades, a combination of seawater and sunlight, are uniquely beautiful.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks for the extra images and your thoughts, Fabi!<\/p>\n
