The sculptures of Israeli ceramicist Ronit Baranga flirt with the boundary between desire and repulsion. Baranga sculpts delicate lips and sensual fingertips, planting these tools of seduction in places where we least expect to find them. Plates and bowls grow mouths ready to lick and kiss. Caressing hands multiply until they turn into mutant, plant-like growths. These sensual features begin to seem invasive and frightening when stripped of their humanity and presented as inanimate objects. Take a look at some of Ronit Baranga's sculptures after the jump, images courtesy of the artist.
Artist Ronit Baranga (previously) creates ceramic sculptural works she describes as existing on the “border between living and still life”—objects guaranteed to either tickle your funny bone or haunt your worst nightmares, depending on your perspective. Baranga depicts dishware as sprouting human fingers and gaping mouths as the objects traipse across tabletops or physically cling to one another in a permanent embrace. The pieces are both silly and sinister as they come to life as if from a cartoon. More

Sculptor Ronit Baranga (previously here and here) produces figurative ceramic works that combine human characteristics with inanimate objects such as teacups, saucers, and plates. Open mouths are placed at the center of cups and pots, begging to sip the contents poured inside, while fingers mounted to the bottom of the pieces look as if they might carry the works across the table. The Israel-based artist currently has a solo exhibition titled Tea Party at Beinart Gallery in Melbourne, Australia which closes September 30, 2018. More
Okay, so Ronit Baranga didn't create this creepy ceramic bowl for the Halloween season, but it'd be the perfect vessel for candy nevertheless. The bowl features a free-form construction, but the inside bottom of the bowl boasts a freaky open mouth

Israeli artist Ronit Baranga (previously) embodies voracious appetites by merging anatomical parts, desserts, and serving ware in an evocative ceramic series titled All Things Sweet and Painful. Dextrous fingers balance a plate and manage to swipe a bit of frosting from a cupcake. Whether implanted in a fruity pie or a teacup, gaping mouths clamor for a taste of the pastries and stick their tongues out for a taste. More
Use our free tutorial to make polymer clay jewelry dishes - crafting DIY trinket dishes only takes a few materials to make something gorgeous
Scraps from canes can be from any part or stage when constructing a cane; it can be from the petals stage or the cane ends after reducing and cutting the edges. For this particular cane it is good to have chunks of scrap canes, un-blended or mixed. Scraps from millefiori canes that have transparent background can be use too in this technique, there is an example at the end of this tutorial. 1. Materials: * Cane ends leftovers from several canes. * Polymer clay in one color (variable amount) for the outline. Tools: Cutting blade, rolling pin, pasta machine and a ruler. 2. Press each cane leftovers in to a ball. Don’t try to squash or mash the ball, to avoid mixing it up. Arrange the leftover canes from left to right to a color design for your liking. Roll from each ball a cylinder (a roll) to a length of 4-5 cm / 1.5 - 2 inch 3. Press each roll to a form of a rectangle, but keep their length the same, about 4-5 cm / 1.5 - 2 inch. Attached the rectangle pieces to each other, forming a thick rectangle sheet. 4. With the rolling pin, flatten the thick sheet some more; but try to keep its shape as much as you can in a form of a rectangle, do that by pressing at the sides of the sheet when needed. The sheet thickness has to be about a 0.5 cm / 0.2 inch. 5. Set the pasta machine on its thickest setting (1). The rectangles shapes are going to be lengthened, so the position of the sheet is vertical rectangles through the pasta machine. Roll the sheet one time - this will be the "colored sheet". Cut off the top and bottom sides of the sheet. 6. For the outline - make a thin sheet (setting 4-5 on the pasta machine) in the size (width and length) of the colored sheet. Attached the outline sheet on to the colored sheet and gently press them together with a rolling pin (and take out any bubbles). 7. Roll the 2 sheets together - set the pasta machine on its thickest setting (1). Again, the position of the sheet is vertical rectangles through the pasta machine. Roll the sheet one time. 8. Clean the edges - from the 4 sides, cut the sheet to a form of a square. 9. Cut the sheet to 5 equal pieces - measure the length of the sheet, divide it by 5 and cut it horizontally - from side to side, as described on pic 9. 10. Place the 5 pieces one on top of the other and gently tighten them. 11. Carefully reduce the stack to a rectangle form, to a length of approximately 8-9 cm / 3 -3.5 inch. 12. Clean the edges - from the 2 sides, cut the ends, so the pattern can be seen clearly. 13. Cut the cane in to 2 equal pieces. Attached the 2 pieces so the outline color is on the outside. 14. Decide which side will be the middle of the triangle cane and tighten this side a little. And on to the other side - add a thin sheet from the outline color, to complete the sequence of the outline color. 15. Form the cane in to a triangle cane by pressing inside on to the "middle side" corner and gently pull the other 2 corners out. 16. Reduce the cane length to about 8-9 cm / 3 -3.5 inch. Clean the edges - from the 2 sides, cut the ends, so the pattern can be seen clearly. Cut the cane in to 2 equal pieces. 17. Attached the two parts, "middle side" to "middle side". To form a triangle cane - press gently the "middle side" edge on to the work surface. Reduce the cane length to about 6-8 cm / 2.5-3.5 inch. 18. Cut the cane in to 2 equal pieces and attached the two parts to one square cane. 19. Press gently on 4 corners to form a round shape. Reduce and roll the cane to your desired size. Ta Da !!! A few steps from a scrap cane + Tip. In this cane I've used a small amount of scrap clay, and got a cheerful colored cane; I chose white for the outline and it made the cane brighter. The outline color has a lot of influence on the overall appearance, so take that in mind when making this cane :-) If you need help or have questions about this tut, please leave that in a comment and I will gladly assist.

Here is a new group of millefiori canes that are listed this month in my shop, two of them are all about Autumn, with deep browns, rich greens, luscious oranges and warm yellows; I've made 2 retro dots canes with the clay gun, a round and a square cane; I absolutely adore this color combination. This very colorful geometric cane is something new that I tried; I've assembled many triangle logs, combining more than 10 colors all together and got a very cheerful outcome. ............the new crazy bunch all together....... Enjoy !!! The canes are now available in my boutique online, in the Polymer clay canes section. Have a wonderful week you ALL :-)
