Other Sources of Inspiration: Translating Paintings

 

 

As craft artists, we are more commonly drawn to three-dimensional arts and crafts because the construction and formation of a piece is something we know so well ourselves. But inspiration can be found in many of the two-dimensional arts as well.

This painting by Laura Zollar has a wealth of color and visual impact that could be easily translated into polymer illustration.

I would love to walk into a room and see something like this on a wall but built up with sculptural polymer which would then give it the added dimension of change … the shifting of shadows as light changes in the room and the alteration of view as you move around it.

    Funny you should say this as I am in the process of doing just such a project. I am an art jewelry maker but also a print maker and want very much to feed one from the other.
