Filling those bezels
Over the last few months I’ve managed to make a pile of silver bezels. It takes the right kind of mood for me to get into the groove of filling them. Fortunately, I’ve been in the mood lately:
Simple shapes, patterns, textures and colors. Half of me thinks I am in a rut and the other half is having fun. I don’t think I’ll ever tire of the pebbly sandpaper texture.

These are dynamite! Less IS more!
Love them! I would know those are yours anywhere I might see them.
Very nice Libby! Makes me wish I knew how to make silver bezels. They set off the clay so professionally. If you’re in a rut, then it’s a good one!
That’s definitely not a rut - it’s a distinctive style which still has alot of variation
Nice!
I think you are on the right track. It is a form and a style that can be tweaked thousands of ways. If you never changed from silver bezels and polymer you could keep going forever. And the only way to get out of a creative slump is to be having fun. Why would anyone want to do something that wasn’t fun??
beautiful work! Thanks so much for sharing. Looking at your pix has really enlivened my day!

Beautiful marriage of metal and clay!
Gorgeous!
I love the different depths of the first two. They remind me of miniature shadow boxes. Very nice!
Oh to be in such a “rut”.
I like the texture you give the edge of the silver. Very nifty! I’ve been on a donut kick lately (and haven’t been able to adequately bring to life any of the ideas in my head) so the 4th one really appeals to me.
Beautiful work!
