Abstract

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Well, I actually got some time to spend in the studio in the past couple weeks and I created two sculptures for my local art association’s Abstract/Avant Garde juried show. Now I just have to wait for the weekend to see if I got in.

Either way, I really like both pieces. I’ll have to post some pictures but they’re both abstractions on plant themes. Quite different from what I’ve done before but I may have to make a series of them to explore some of the other ideas I had. That’s what I like about shows and contests – it tends to make me explore new ideas and really stretch myself.

Judy Dunn is a polymer clay artist who does both wholesale and retail. She offers business and marketing insights on her blog. I think I’ve also featured an article about her polymer clay cranes before. It ought to be impossible to fold those out of polymer clay but I’ve seen her do it – very carefully.

Check out her great series on wholesale shows if you think you might be interested.
