Artrageousclay

Tonight, I'd like to introduce another fantastic artist and her shop to you. As you can see from the photos there's a lot of labor, thought, intricacy and love that go into these truly one of a kind pieces from this SELF TAUGHT artist! Her name is Regina and the name of her wonderful Etsy shop is Artrageousclay.

Let me start by saying that Regina is another artist descended from artists. She spent her childhood traveling to art shows with her parents who themselves made jewelry. She employs the use of semi precious stones, freshwater pearls and Swarovski crystal adding these beautiful components to her own made by hand clay beads.

These beads, are large figural or focal pieces featuring faces, which Regina sees in her minds eye, and then begins the process of making a single piece by taking a 25 lb. block of clay.....yes, 25 lbs. to bring life to her idea.

The clay is a combination of porcelain and high fiber clay which enables her to bring expression to these wonderful. full of texture and whimsical pieces.

If you'd like to see more of Regina's work you can click on the post title above or visit her blog.

To find out more about this unique process and Regina herself, please be sure to read her short profile within her Etsy shop.

I hope that you are enjoying this break from the regular posts about vintage and will feel free to leave your comments and experiences here if you've visited any featured artists shop.

Have a beautiful rest of the week,
