Bonnie Bishoff - Another Great Class!

It seems I've been taking a lot of one and two-day classes over the past few months, and September was no exception. I am so pleased that the New England Polymer Artist Guild hosted Bonnie Bishoff a couple of weeks ago.  Bonnie shared with us her method of doing marquetry, also known as inlay. The designs and patterns she creates are lovely, and the way she shares colors amongst the pieces gives her finished necklaces a real harmony.  In addition, she has developed some incredible methods for linking polymer pieces together.  Her necklaces have form, grace, and movement.  All the participants just soaked up as much as we could, then worked at applying her many ideas and tips to a piece of our own.



The photos here show the pieces I developed, the necklace in "raw" form, and a close-up of a portion of the necklace.
