Using this limited color palette gives the piece a maturity that bright colors would not provide. Through this pairing of copper and polymer clay, she has created an effective juxtaposition between hard and soft materials. She created this piece by rolling a sheet of polymer clay and impressing it into the fired metal clay, so that it would come up through the holes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mybrownwren.blogspot.com\/2012\/02\/copper-and-polymer-clay.html\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"6050\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/fading-out\/copper-and-polymer-006\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/copper-and-polymer-006.jpg?fit=700%2C541&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"700,541\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;10&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D70&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1329656566&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;60&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.01&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"copper and polymer 006\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/copper-and-polymer-006.jpg?fit=430%2C332&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6050\" alt=\"copper and polymer 006\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/daveonline.net\/thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/copper-and-polymer-006-480x370.jpg?resize=480%2C370\" width=\"480\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/copper-and-polymer-006.jpg?resize=480%2C370&amp;ssl=1 480w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/copper-and-polymer-006.jpg?resize=150%2C115&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/copper-and-polymer-006.jpg?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tammi, who is from Whidbey Island, Washington, has a passion for creating.
