\"raluka<\/a>This was such a gorgeous find. Actually, everything this artist has done is just amazing. The thing is, it doesn’t seem to be polymer, but it took quite a bit of research to convince me otherwise. The work is by\u00a0Raluca Bazura<\/a>, a Romanian artist working in contemporary jewelry. From what I could tell from the translations on the various little snippets I found about her\u00a0online, she seems to work primarily in porcelain ceramics. This\u00a0must be why all the pieces are stitched together. Of course, that may allow for\u00a0movement and flexibility, but it might not be necessary if it was polymer. Really, this should be polymer. OK … yes, perhaps I am a tad biased sometimes.<\/p>\n

But, whether this is made in ceramics or polymer, it is another wonderful example of the dynamic complexity that repetition can bring to a piece. And yes, we’re looking at a gradient of color, but this time only in terms of the collective set of overlapping scales not blended. It still has a similar effect in helping aid the feel of movement as the arrangement fans out. Raluca uses this kind of color effect in a lot of his work, but she’s also done\u00a0a whole series in just black with the occasional gold or silver additions.<\/p>\n

If you find this at all intriguing, you must go take a look at more of her\u00a0work on her website<\/a>. You’ll see many other\u00a0pieces that you’ll swear are polymer, or should be. Go see<\/a> and tell me what you think.<\/p>\n
