\"\"<\/a>There was a very interesting discussion on two related posts on Facebook back in February. It basically came down to whether a piece should be categorized as polymer art if the polymer has been painted or otherwise works as a ‘canvas’ rather than being the bulk and carrier of the design and artistic impact. This pendant by by Susan Waddington of Polydogz is polymer and paint( http:\/\/polydogz.com\/Gallery1\/Polymer-jewelry<\/a>) There is no doubt she know how to work with polymer but the impact is from the color and design of the paint. So … is it polymer? There was quite a heated discussion about that and categorization of polymer in general on the Feb. 17 2012 Facebook post <\/a>here.<\/p>\n

That brought up a thought on my end … if you paint with polymer, is it a painting or a polymer piece? This owl is a painting, posted as a response to t\"\"<\/a>his discussion on Facebook on Feb 21, 2012<\/a> where the paint is 100% polymer. Obviously a painting and more two-dimensional than polymer usually is but … how would you categorize it?<\/p>\n

When it comes down to it, it really doesn’t matter to the casual viewer but in juried shows, galleries and periodicals, this categorization can be the difference between a piece of work getting in or not. So … as we start off on this blog, I thought I’d bring up this discussion again. What are your thoughts?
