Doner’s Silhouettes

Doner_5_09My husband has pointed out to me that in music sometimes the space in between the notes is just as important as the notes you hear.  I think the visual equivalent of this concept is negative space and I really enjoy seeing an artist explore the idea.   Janice Doner’s “Shamu Necklace” is so fun and playful, but the first time I glanced at it, I didn’t see the whale image, presented in a negative space silhouette.  Congratulations to Janice for making me take a second look!

You can find Janice under the name Destiny’s Creations on her Web site, her Etsy store and her Flickr photostream.

    Thank you so much for featuring my Shamu Necklace! I am smitten with your blog. As we speak I am awaiting a second kiln for enameling and I am hoping to be able to do a play on my Shamu Necklace, but in colors.

    It is a joy to find a blog that is featuring metal clay artists from all over and reading about everyone.
