\nI’m going to break a kind of rule here and show you a collage instead of just one of these colorful felted pieces by Japanese felt artist, Atsuko Sasaki<\/a>.\u00a0Because isn’t the collection just a beautiful composition and delightful explosion of color? I also thought you would find it more intriguing when you could see the variety of forms and color this very precise felter pulls together.\u00a0And this way, I didn’t have to pick just one.<\/p>\n

I think the possibilities of how this could inspire a polymer artist comes across much more from this grouping, too. The felt here has a saturation of color commonly seen in polymer, but in bold forms; the kind of which we don’t see so much from clayers. However, everything here could be done in a polymer version from the appliqued dots within dots to the inverted mushroom caps, to the alternately patterned material popping out through slashes\u00a0in the fabric.\u00a0Do they give you any ideas?<\/p>\n

I originally found this collage and this work on a great little blog called Folt Bolt<\/a>, but you can find more of Atsuko’s handbags, mufflers, vases and sculptural objects on her website<\/a>. By the way, these pieces are quite big. You can see handbags and mufflers modeled in photos on her Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
