A Last Glance at Malta
I am in the slow process of extricating myself from Europe. I spent the last 4 days with the very creative and enthusiastic Anke Humpert. We played as well as worked on several upcoming articles and came up with way too many exciting ideas that, we hope, might become a reality someday. But for now, as I leave the European continent on my way to Iceland where I will stopover for a day, I am taking one last glance back at Malta.
We had one in our group at EuroSyngery that was from the beautiful island, Nevena Ilic from Swiegi on Malta. She creates lovely polymer jewelry in many of the colors and textures I now associate with the small but vibrant country. The red that so often colored the Malta cross and the dark aging of limestone that many of the buildings there are constructed of can both be found in this pendant.
Nevena only started working with polymer clay in 2011, but like many of us, once she found it, it became the focus of her creative work. For her it is “an instrument of communicating my inner-self.” You can see more of her interesting forms on her website.
