No, this isn't my work.
Geesh! Like I could spend the time needed to pull these beauties off.
This is the work of
Louise Hibbert. She calls it, appropriately, "Plankton Art". I call it stunning! The only polymer in these beauties is polymer resin (
whatever that is). It looks like she uses a base form of wood, then laminates with resin and adds color with acrylic paints and inks. Some of her work features bits of "fine" woods like Spanish
olivewood and ebony.
I have yet to find my own "style" when it comes to an organic look. But I'm incredibly inspired by
others, and it should only be a matter of time and practice before my muse finds her "organic" voice. Right? *looks around for encouragement* Um, guys... hey,
where did everybody go?!
My thanks to
Grant Diffendaffer, the man with the long but phonetic last name, for including a link to Louise's work on his site. Oh, and thanks to
Cynthia Tinapple for letting us all know that Grant's book is out... now I have no money for Christmas presents!!

Hey, I have been meaning to write you a nice long email for some time, my dear... but life (and the holidays) has swept me away. Please know that, even when I don't send you emails, you are in my thoughts often. Oh, how I wish I could just grab Tom and Al, hop on a plane and spend Christmas in Bern!! *sigh*
Very cold snowy & warm woodstove hugs to you and Lucas!! -M
Wow - I've died and gone to pod heaven! I clicked on Louise's link and found more work to drool over. The work she does with Sarah Parker-Eaton is phenomenal as well. Thanks for the post.
