Surface Exploration on Polymer by CLAIRE MAUNSELL Stuff I've worked on lately....

Beads that show off a myriad of different surfaces!

In the following series of annotated photos, you can see some close up photos of some of the many veneers I have made and also a few of the many polymer pieces which show my focus on surface.

One of many metallic applications possible....

Transfers on hollow beads

Transfers as collage...

Aging and integrating transfers...

These surfaces come together in interesting ways on the surfaces of my jewelry, vessels and beads, as you can see in the examples in the grid below.

Surface applications are the essence of my work with different forms

The more weird and wonderful the better! There is no limit to what you can dream up for findings...I feel that I personally have only scratched the surface!
