Video: Fimo Sculptures by Jon Stuart Anderson

There are many works from Fimo's plastic, jewelry and toys are made of it, the Internet is full of lessons on working with Fimo, but no one handles it as masterly as Jon Stuart Anderson. He creates his works in the same way that ancient masters created their mosaics and drawings on stained glass windows. The artist applies the resulting drawings to stencils prepared in advance, made in the form of animals. The result is very beautiful figurines that breathe something oriental.
Jon Stuart Anderson has been working on each of these figurines for a very long time, because the Fimo layer applied to the figurines is very thin, and each of the "tiles" is very small in diameter: about a quarter of an inch (and the master started with six-inch panels).
The figurines of animals themselves are created by hand from clay or cut out of wood, and the scarves are pressed into them with a finger (if you look closely at some of the pictures of the works, you can even notice fingerprints on them). After that, they are given an hour to "cool down" and then, if gaps arise (while the work is not completely cool), the tiles are gently moved with reed sticks.
The eyes for each figure are also made by hand, and the old work is slightly polished, making them surprisingly pleasant to the touch.
Each statuette is completely special: the master never repeats the drawings, the same can be said about the rest of the products that Jon Stuart Anderson sells (and it deals with plastic). Jon and his colleagues sell ready-made Fimo rolls (it looks like a colored round roll that needs to be cut to make patterned plates) and they are all different. Even if you bought such a roll a very long time ago, the probability that you will come across the same is zero, roughly speaking, here as in the fashion industry: new collections are released every season, but all dresses are different, you cannot find another one like that. Agree, this is just a titanic work!
Jon Stuart Anderson also creates very beautiful jewelry from Fimo plastic. His works can be found in many private collections, and the tiles made by the master, without exaggeration, are simply a huge success (after all, everyone wants to make their home more comfortable, and the automation of tile production has almost completely disappeared from originality in this area)!

Topographic food sculptures. Food topographic sculptures art project by Stephanie Herr
The inspiration of the German artist Stephanie Herr lies in the work of the compilers of topographic maps, in their volumetric creations, which can be called almost-sculptures, specific bas-reliefs. They need not only to be viewed, but to be able to understand and read, as one reads comics or stories written with pictures. Having studied the technique of creating relief sculptures, the artist willingly applies it in her own work, as can be seen by looking at the works from the Food topographic sculp series
