Rainforest Secrets

This wall piece is 8”x10” on board. It is made of polymer clay, beads, resin and acrylic paint for the background. It is inspired by a set of beads provided by Allegory Gallery in Ligonier, PA. I wanted to show all the hidden secrets found in rainforests, including flora, fauna and man’s presence. The sky, water and cave were painted on the board and the polymer clay and beads were first baked then glued onto the board with large gaps in the clay allowing the background to show through. The resin over the waterfall and pool was “contained” by a polymer clay dam which was later removed. See what you can find when you zoom in on the image. Can you find the slice of a Jon Stuart Anderson cane? All other clay items are mine.

WILDLING BOWL: DEEP SEA

This piece is inspired by the Pantone Color of the Year 2019: Living Coral. I aimed to capture the color and feeling of coral, as well as the qualities of deep water. The coral interior is a mix of pink and 18k gold. The exterior is a midnight blue mixed with 5 shades of glitter, to provide specks and glimmers, like the ocean, when struck by sunlight. The strips of two-tone clay are adhered to each other, baked, and finished with a high shine varnish for gloss and durability. The Wildling Bowl is both decorative and functional.
