Florals, Faux Cloisonne

Posted by Eugena on 12/18/2006

What is "faux cloisonne"? Well, "cloisonne" is an old metal-working technique, when a design is formed using metal partitions (or cloisons) filled with different colors that are created with enamels. "Faux cloisonne" is a technique that I developed for polymer clay. It is still a pretty time-consuming process, since every line is created by cutting and bending a piece of wire. However, it is much easier at least because you do not have to solder metal and melt glass...

Every floral design I create is one-of-a-kind. Some of them already found their homes, and some are still available on my website.

Thank you for stopping by and welcome to my gallery. I hope you have a cup of coffee or a glass of wine in your hand and not in a hurry. I would like to show you a few unusual and elegant designs. You probably would not believe it, but all of them are made out of polymer clay.
For some reason, polymer clay is perceived as a material for funny and funky things, but in fact it can be anything. I do not know any other material that is as versatile as polymer clay. I can make polymer clay look like metal, stone, porcelain, leather, or something completely different and unique. I hope you will agree with me after seeing my collection. Please feel free to leave your comments – I would love to know what you think.
