The Fusion of Polymer Clay Art With Animal Prints
Lynda Moseley has been a tinkerer and crafter for most of her 50 years, as well as decades as a full-time real estate paralegal and a professional genealogist.
“My mother always encouraged her children to be self-sufficient, and we learned early how to make things that we wanted.” Lynda has designed jewelry since high school, and two years ago she discovered polymer clay as a medium for her jewelry design. “It quickly became an obsession. Polymer clay is a remarkable medium.
The design possibilities are endless, limited only by your imagination. I use it to create polymer clay pendants and brooches, which I enhance with semi-precious gemstones and metals. While I struggle with some of the traditional techniques used by polymer clay artists, I seem to have found my voice in the medium with my image transfers. I developed and am still perfecting a method of using multiple layers of images and embossing powders to achieve depth and texture; and I am known for my distinctive, distressed, faux vintage finishes.”
Lynda loves animal prints and she tries to use them in her designs as much as possible. “My favorite is Zebra”, and she is currently working on a series of brooches and pendants using Zebra, Tiger and Leopard prints as a base for the designs. She pairs the animal prints with motifs and birds and butterflies and she is pleased with how well theay have been received. She lives in the beautiful low country of South Carolina, near Beaufort and
she is proud to be the 9th generation of the first Huguenot settlers in 1688.
I just love your art Lynda!
