Today I can say more about it!
The main idea was to connect polymer clay (that I know very well) and embroidery (that I know too, but didn't practice for a long time).
First I sculpted colorfull rings, circles and spikes out of polymer clay. Baked it.
And then I started stiching. Stiching hoops and stiching polymer clay pieces literally!
And I fell in love with the outcome! Mixture of textures is so rich, eye-catching. Thread makes polymer look softer. Polymer clay contrast with the fluffy look of fabric and thread.
As first I started abstract series of hoops, full of small forms. It is very experimental. And it is spontaneous, free in the core spirit! I just do what I feel and like. I don't limit myself to anything. I don't sketch. Just pure improvisation!
I'm starting with sculpting clay and then move to designing composition, I put next to it threads, arrange colors. Then I start and let it lead me wherewer it can. It's so much fun!
Anyway if you share my enthusiasm you can buy hoops from my collection in my Etsy store!
