As you may recall, back in October I had the opportunity to learn a detailed and precise method of marquetry from Bonnie Bishoff. I didn't get back to this art form for a while, until January approached. As one of the two featured artists for the January show at the Westerly Gallery, I decided it would be fun to develop some new pieces for the show. I have several different pieces to share with you. In this post, I'm just going to show some pendants with what I have always called polymer "inlay."
These pieces are not an intricate, nor as tricky, as the finer marquetry that Bonnie taught us. I do love the look of these pieces, and had fun cutting and replacing. I used some of the Accent colors from Premo! for the background, and a skinner blend from purple to coral for the inlaid shapes. Next time, I'll bring you more detailed pieces using some finer marquetry techniques.
