Caveman's Wheel

Ian's Cafe is a proud member of the Polymer Clay Artists' Guild of Etsy. Each month, the guild challenges its members to create an item that's at leat 50% polymer clay materials. Each monthly challenge has its own theme. The theme for May 2010 is "History Inspired."

I looked for archaeic elegance in my form of creating this wonderful piece I call Caveman's Wheel. You simply can't talk history of modern invention without homage to its birth. Just think what state we'd be in if the wheel never existed. How would we get around?

This rendition is of the primitive wheel is made from polymer clay molded and chiseled then stained with ink to add depth and texture. The piece itself reminds me of a rock. And as wonderful as this photo is, it really doesn't do Caveman's Wheel justice. Must see to truly appreciate!
