I have created several afro-centric designs, and I think these designs will work nice with polymer clay silk screening. I envision that these silk screens can be used to create small pieces of art. In November I created a pretty unique piece using silk screened polymer clay. I decided that I would like to create some afro-centric silk screens and use them to create wearable art work.
Adinkra Symbol - Strength
This is my first featured design. It is the African Adinkra symbol of 'strength'. The silk screen sheets are 4 x 5 inch squares. Acrylic paints can be used to create the design. Using typical silk screen process of squeezing the paint through the screen will create the design in paint. A mixture of different colored clay and paints can yield amazing art. This is just a sample of what I created when playing with clay, paint and silk screens.
In the future I am looking for creative ways to use other Adinkra symbols.
