\"margit<\/a>Although polymer is certainly a wonderful medium for precisely applied or built-in color, I have to say the painterly effects that we are seeing a lot of these days are so intriguing. The approach and application usually involves the inclusion of another medium, which opens the color quality to a wide range of\u00a0possibilities beyond what the clay itself has to offer.<\/p>\n

Margit Bohmer<\/a> has been playing with pastels and polymer for quite a while. I can’t recall off the top of my head anyone else that has been quite so exploratory with this combination. Much of her work looks like color-stained wood or stone. The way she forms, carves and antiques\u00a0her beads results in a rough, almost tribal quality; although, contemporary shapes do regularly emerge. Considering those characteristics, I thought this fun and beautifully colorful piece really stood out in her collection on Flickr<\/a>. The wavy line contrasts rather strongly with the scratched tube beads, but with all the pieces treated with the same painterly color application it all comes together.<\/p>\n

Jump over to Margit’s Flickr photostream<\/a> or Etsy shop<\/a> for a non-stop painterly color parade.<\/p>\n
