A little while back I reached out to a number of artists who regularly send me content ideas and asked if they would like to take over the art choices for a week. The idea was to get some fresh views of polymer art that I might not pick out because, even though I try to pull in all varieties and tastes, I just won&#8217;t see things the same as other people and vice versa. I am hoping enjoy this little change up and that we&#8217;ll get to periodically have a fun and different week like this.

This cuff bracelet features a sculpted street scene reminiscent of a quaint rural French village. Can you imagine walking down this street, meeting interesting characters along the way as you gather your shopping at the market?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The individual elements of the scene, each sculpted in polymer clay and painted in bright colors, come together to create a cohesive story. Each element is separate, but still connected by its placement, its color, and its style. Much in the way the the real buildings of a French village would be.<\/p>\n<p>Doreen will be teaching how to <a href=\"http:\/\/doreengay-kassel.blogspot.com\/2014\/01\/art-is-you-stamford-october-9-13-2014.html\" target=\"_blank\">make cuffs like this at a workshop in Stamford, CT<\/a> this coming October.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Ginger Davis Allman lives in Springfield, Missouri with her husband Gary, her three kids and her many craft obsessions.
