"Penny Quilt Bracelet" by Cynthia Tinapple, USA

 

New wine in an old bottle.

 

Made in the late 1700s through the early 1800s, Penny Quilts were assembled from small circles of wool appliqued onto the quilt. Penny Quilts owe their name to the “Large Cents”. One of the first   

coins struck by the U.S. Mint, they were adopted by the quilters as templates to trace the repetitive shapes that distinguished their work at the time.

 

Cynthia's bracelet exploits traditional forms and motifs but gives them a decisively contemporary spin.

Synergy II

The Polymer Art Archives - Preserving the record

For more than a decade, Elise Winters has been on a personal quest to elevate discussion about and enhance the image of polymer clay in the art and fine-craft community.

As of last week, the Board of Trustees at the Racine Art Museum in Racine, Wisconsin confirmed the museum’s commitment to establish a permanent collection of polymer jewelry, beads and sculptural objects.  As part of this commitment, RAM will not only focus on assembling a world-class collection of exhibition quality works, but they will also preserve study pieces for future research.  A small library will also be established to protect slide, print and catalogs for academic research.

What an achievement, Elise!
