The Jennifer Morris technique or the applique technique is a
classic technique used on polymer clay. This among other techniques such as
Mokume Gane or filigree are basic techniques that artists use to create various
effects. The technique can vary depending on your skill, some may use rounder,
irregular and easier to make shapes, other will use patterns or elongated
shapes for their applied. Some of the well-known artists that use this technique
are Jennifer Morris and Eva Thissen, both with a very different. While Jennifer
Morris goes for the crowded and richer design, Eva Thissen has a more
contemporary, more minimalistic design. Both of them manage to create beautiful
accessories with a great unique touch to any outfit.
A lot of artists have since then started using the applique technique,
especially in creating flowers. It’s a pretty easy technique and doesn’t
require much skill if done in a more rudimentary way, only tremendous amount of
patience. But some applique techniques such as Eva Thissen’s may prove to be
more challenging as they require a steady hand and very precise elements.
I have used this technique in the following designs and I
will incorporate in some of my pendants. Soon I will even post a tutorial
followed by a little autumn giveaway since I missed the August giveaway I
promised.
Tehnica Jennifer Morris sau tehnica applique e o tehnica
classica folosita cu lutul polimeric. Aceasta impreuna cu alte tehnici ca
Mokume Gane sau filigree sunt de baza si sunt folosite de artisti pentru a crea
diferite efecte. Tehnica poate varia in functie de nivel, unii pot folosi forme
mai rotunde, neregulate si usor de aplicat iar altii vor folosi elemente mai
lungi sau anumite modele. Unii dintre cei mai cunoscuti artisti care folosesc
aceasta tehnica sunt Jennifer Morris si Eva Thissen, amandoua foarte diferite
ca rezultat final. In timp ce Jennifer Morris alege un design mai plin si mai
inghesuit, Eva Thissen vine cu un design mai minimalist si mai contemporan.
Totusi, ambele reusesc sa creeze accesorii frumoase care dau unicitate oricarei
tinute.
Multi artisti au incercat sa foloseasca aceasta tehnica, in
special in crearea florilor. Este o tehnica destul de usoara, nu necesita un
mare nivel de cunostiinte sau indemanare daca este facuta intr-un mod mai
rudimentar, insa de fiecare data necesita o groaza de rabdare. Desigur, unele
tehnici applique ca cele ale Evei de exemplu pot fi extrem de dificile deoarece
necesita o mana sigura si elemente extrem de precise.
Am folosit aceasta tehnica in urmatoarele design-uri si o
voi folosi mai des in pandantivele mele. In curand voi posta si un tutorial
urmat de un mic giveaway de toamna, din moment ce am pierdut giveaway-ul din
August mult promis.
