\"barbFajardo<\/a>So, I didn’t do well at thinking up a succinct theme for this week. I just grabbed a handful of great pieces that all make me think ‘fabulous’! So, we are just going to have a week of fabulousness. Is that okay? My tired brain, worn down by working on the last bits for the next issue, which is also fabulous, would love that.<\/p>\n

So, how about this piece first. Honestly, there is little that Barbara Fajardo does that doesn’t make me think ‘fabulous’ when I see it. She freely experiments with all kinds of techniques and forms, but they all come together under great color palettes, nice balance and fine finishing. I was originally going to share a necklace of hers with you, but when searching out the source for it I landed on her Flickr page and saw these\u00a0Barnacle Bracelets, and I had to change it up!<\/p>\n

A bowl she created using the same forms was on Polymer Clay Daily<\/em> last, but I hadn’t seen these. Fabulous right? Fantastic colors, did I not say? The textures are tantalizing, and the complex organic treatment of the barnacles is inspired. I think I would be playing with this all day if I had it on my wrist! And staring. Definitely, staring at them a lot.<\/p>\n

See the rest of her barnacled collection and tons and tons of other eye candy on her Flickr page<\/a>\u00a0or her website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
