\"serena<\/a>What else would we do for an outside inspiration that started out looking at shibori, than shibori itself?\u00a0The artist behind these earrings and ring, Serena Di Mercione<\/a>, has a number of pieces we actually\u00a0found on\u00a0a few polymer clay focused Pinterest boards even though this is silk with beads and pearls and metal findings. \u00a0I’m not really surprised. It would not be hard to imagine these as polymer instead of silk ribbons. But how would you do that?<\/p>\n

I was thinking maybe thinly folded pearl clay colored with diluted alcohol inks applied to just the edges of the folds with a cosmetic sponge. Or Skinner blends applied in thin strips to\u00a0a pearl clay back and then rolled thin so you can fold it, letting the folds land on the strips of colored blended clay. I’m not really sure how with would work, but I’d be willing to give it a try . I just might do that this weekend as I pull out my clay and tools to show the wonders of this medium to a few curious young minds. We must instill\u00a0a love of polymer into the next generation, right?<\/p>\n

To really brighten your Friday, take a stroll through more of \u00a0Serena’s delicious shibori and soutache jewelry creations on her Facebook page.<\/a> You will either get your creative juices flowing or start craving rainbow sherbet!<\/p>\n
