Your three favorite polymer clay artists?
Who are your three favorite polymer clay artists? It's ok to vote for
yourself ;-). I took a long break from clay and I guess my favorites are maybe considered old hat but I doubt I'll ever replace them- Tory Hughes and Karen Lewis. There's a lot of contenders for third, this week it's Jill Newman. Ingrid http://www.mermaidscove.com |

I go along with your selection of Jill, her work moves me, so does Katherine
Dewey's, and Sarajane Helm's work rocks! If I could pick a fourth then I would pick me. I like what I do.

There's a lot of contenders for third, this week it's Jill Newman. Ingrid http://www.mermaidscove.com I haven't been around 'clay' very long but from what I have managed to see so far I would have to say I love the total originality of Sarajane's work and the light hearted humor of Christi Friesen's (cforiginals.net) pieces!!! I think I like Sarajanes work because it has a style that comes across as disciplined but isn't pretentious... also the feeling that it could be any medium and just happens to be clay. Christi Friesen's work, on the other hand, just seems unable to take itself seriously. Even her darker hearts manage to be whimsical and some of the odd faces seem way too familiar!!! I can't even say I like what I am doing yet... a style of my own might someday emerge but, dang, its hard to settle down to a making a few things well when the ideas are endless!!! I seem to have started a dozen different things and finished two!!! =) Polly |

My number one favorite is easy. Christi Friesen. And not just because
she's a personal friend. Her work is simply the most unique, beautiful, inspiring I've ever seen. And I get to pick up and look at her pieces (and try not to drool on them!) Kathleen Dustin is also a favorite because of her images on clay techniques that many of us have taken our own spin on, including Jill Newman. Although I wouldn't necessarily call Klew a favorite, I owe a lot to her because it was she who first introduced me to the clay, and from her I learned to sand and buff beads better than just about anyone except her! And yes, I like my own work too! If I didn't what would be the point? Cheryl |

Aw!!!! Thank you Polly, and Diana too. Polly, thats a great description of
my work---I like it! My own 3 faves are awfully hard to narrow down.....but if we say instead "whose work would you love to have that you don't already own...." then I'd have to say Kathy Dewey, Jaqueline Lee and Laura Balombino. "Polly S." I think I like Sarajanes work because it has a style that comes across as disciplined but isn't pretentious... also the feeling that it could be any medium and just happens to be clay. |
