Israeli Polymer Clay Artists

This week, the spotlight is on our friends that cane from Israel. For me, it seems they have a unique caning style that exudes colors, lots and lots of color. I love to see their work and how intricate they make their canes. Iris Mishley, Sigalot Designs, Ronit Golan, Orly Rabinowitz, Liat R, and Tamishvat are a few of the artists that come to mind. Flowers are large compononts of their work, and the varying designs of flowers as they are joined together, make beautiful pieces.

Tamishvat

Tamishvat is a wonderful artist not only in polymer clay but has recently returned to watercolor. She is selling her fresh canes and tutorials on Etsy (http://www.etsy.com/shop/tamishvat).

   This is a sample of her work of painted scarves. She handpaints as well as she canes or is it vise versa? She did create a cane and then a bracelet to match, totally awesome! If you would like to view more of her work, or see this scarf up close and personal, click on one of the links above!

Liat R

Looks like a blue peony or mum cane, beautiful!

Liat R has fun creating these fish with flower canes and there are "schools" of them on her flickr site! Once again another artist who has mastered the art of caning flowers to perfection! She too has a shop on Etsy, http://www.etsy.com/shop/liatripp , that also sells a tutorial for making her fish magnets.
