Non-jewelry forms can be very freeing as engineering them is often less complicated. There are a lot of people trying their hand at home decor objects, decorating furniture, covering sculptural shapes and applying polymer to clothing.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most interesting explorations in this area this last year, at least from what I&#8217;ve seen, are the vessels <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Donna-Greenberg-Arts\/151594531536806?pnref=about.overview\" target=\"_blank\">Donna Greenberg<\/a> has been busily creating. I don&#8217;t even know how to explain her journey, but she has really been pushing her form and application of her clay treatment in some really intriguing ways. I&#8217;m going to leave it at that and give you this beautiful close-up of one of her newest creations to get your interest piqued. Then go on over to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Donna-Greenberg-Arts\/151594531536806?pnref=about.overview\" target=\"_blank\">Donna Greenberg Arts page on Facebook<\/a> to see the many pieces she&#8217;s made and her\u00a0journey itself.<\/p>\n<p>Then I might suggest you spend a little time on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pinterest <\/a>or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Flickr <\/a>seeing what else people are up to these days. Perhaps you will find a form that you just must try this new year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>If you like this blog, support The Polymer Arts projects with a subscription or an issue of The Polymer
