Peggy Dembicer

.

I have an intense Flickr addiction. I've been posting a lot of my recent photos to various groups, which leads to more contacts , which leads to their contacts and more groups. It's endless! Through one of these chain of events, I discovered Peggy Dembicer's work and I can't remember when I was last blown away like this.

The above Kahnstruction II, paper weaving (with beads!) is my favorite piece. I love everything about it - the colors, the orderliness, the texture from the beads. Check out her other paper weaving pieces.

Her beadwork is outstanding as well. Here's what she writes about Candyland:

I glued countless thousands of seed beads to a 1978 edition of the Candy Land game board. I estimate the total to be 100,000 beads. Each land presented challenges and opportunities in the use of novelty materials. I used polymer clays, crushed amber, buttons, q tips, pipe cleaners, foam, charms, wooden beads, shells and baubles, etc. Completed from 2005 to 2006.

Look at the detail!

She creates other forms of art too. Time spent poking around her Flickr site is absolutely time well spent.
