Forest Rogers imbues her work with some of the most fluid, dynamic and ethereal choices of form and detail. Her work can be equally ethereal and disturbing, but her pieces are never anything less than wondrous. This is all my humble opinion of course, but I think many people agree.<\/p>\n<p>For today, just\u00a0enjoy the\u00a0faerie herald here, and when you have a quiet moment between festivities, do go visit <a href=\"http:\/\/forestrogers.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">her blog and website<\/a> for sculpture that just pulls at the soul.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you that celebrate the Christmas holiday, a very Merry Christmas to you all. To all my readers, regardless of what this day means to you, thank you so much for joining me so often and allowing me to share the many beautiful things I find in my searches. Being able to do this is the best gift, and I am gifted with this every day! How wonderful.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>If you like this blog, support The Polymer Arts projects with a subscription or issue of The Polymer Arts magazine as well
