Sara Amrhein

Location

Firenze
Italy

About the Artist: Sara Amrhein

My name is Sara Amrhein and I am an American artist living in Florence Italy. I have been working in polymer since 2009. As a jewelry artist, I specialize in fun, colorful, and often romantic statement pieces, with an emphasis on necklaces and earrings. Much of my work is inspired by historic costume and floral symbolism. With an eye on the opulence of the Renaissance, more is more philosophy, and modern-day fashion, my designs are for the bold and adventurous woman who is a romantic at heart. Over the years I have participated in countless fairs, jewelry shows, and markets. My work was published in the 2016 edition of Polymer Clay Journey's and I have sold my designs internationally in boutiques in the United States, the UK, Belgium, Japan, and Italy. I have also had three workshops with storefronts of my own here in the city of Florence, where I not only sold my work directly to the public but where I also conducted numerous workshops and hosted internships for both local and study abroad students from all over the world.

About the Artist

Maude resides in Louisville, KY with her pooch, Emma. We share a little hobbit home we have surrounded with flowers...nary one blade of grass! While it was my parents who taught me to enjoy what I do and do it well; it is Emma who insists that I leave the "clay factory" and walk and play with her every day!

To be carried every day, this purse holds all the necessities, while lightweight and extremely durable. While talking about my gardens in Louisville with my three year old granddaughter, I pictured an insect's view. Just had to try to make it! My purse would not be possible without the class at Creative Journey Studio in GA with the remarkable Kathleen Dustin. Materials: Polymer clay and liquid polymer clay for purse body, brass hinge with brass screws, leather strap, rare earth magnet closure. Dimensions: 7" wide, 3" deep, 4.5" tall

Melinda Puhó

Location

Tustin, California
United States

About the Artist

Melinda was born in the ancient land of Transylvania (Romania), in the Carpathian mountains. Since her childhood, she felt a deep spiritual connection with the astonishing beauty of the natural world that surrounded her. She started drawing from the moment she held a pencil in her hands and started playing the piano at the age of 5. She always felt much more mature than her age and her wish for artistic expression and for seeking the Truth was her companion even after her parents moved her to Hungary when she was 11, after the revolution that brought an end to the 42 years of communist rule in Romania. These early hardships helped her understood that her life and talents have a purpose, and her aim became to elevate the consciousness of the other souls who resonate with her art and music. Artist Bio In college, she met her creative partner, who shared a very similar view of the world and a very close artistic mindset. They decided to immigrate to the US to fulfill their childhood dreams of sharing with the world their unique creative vision. After going through the challenges in their new country, they started their business 'WizArts' in 2016, selling their hand-sculpted, one-of-a-kind art jewelry. Since 2017 WizArts has been exhibiting at various juried art shows throughout California. Melinda is entirely self-taught through experimentation and the development of her own unique techniques, including clay appliqué using her handmade glow-in-the-dark polymer clay. She believes that dreams shape our reality and art is what elevates the consciousness into new, unknown dimensions. For her, Art is the most personal, most intimate form of self-expression that is the only way to touch the soul of the other person in a way that you cannot do otherwise in this material world.

Phoenix Rising

Phoenix Rising

5" (approx. 13 cm) wide

Premo polymer clay (red and yellow, mixed using the Skinner Blend technique), crystals and beads, mica powder and 14k gold-filled chain

The Phoenix is a powerful spiritual symbol, as it represents immortality, the renewal through transformation. After its "death", the Phoenix regenerates and gains a new life as it arises from its ashes. It overcomes darkness, and as the sun, it "dies" in setting each night, to be reborn in rising again the next morning.

I sculpted, formed, shaped and carved every small detail by hand (using a thin needle), based on my sketch. No molds were used.
