About the Author
Nanetta is an artist and author creating original artworks in the heart of
Kansas. Her days are filled with design, color and possibility. Although
her head is full of fanciful images, it was with a self-taught resolution that
she learned to engineer organic curves and minute details, translating
them into a digital form.
Paper has always been She has designed numerous a part of Nanetta's
expression. She has designed numerous CD covers and posters for
independent artists and events as well as illustrated children's menus.
Polymer clay, the medium of her first book with North Light, became a
favorite when she discovered it in the early 1980s. She has authored
many tutorials for Polyform Products, given workshops and produced
countless works, including dolls, jewelry, sculpture, corporate displays
and fairies from this versatile medium. Nanetta is also now experimenting
with bronze and copper clays.
The paper designs in this book are just the beginning of Nanetta's digital
works. She continues to add to her own collection of files, adding shoe
patterns, chairs and trees that stand on their own. Nanetta's art continues
to evolve and explore the melding of old world craft and new millennia
technology.
