a little something new...

i'm excited about a some new ideas i've been cooking up in the studio...these fun little dishes were inspired by a "pouch of wonders" my mom gave to me a while back...it was a bag full of vintage lace and tattered fabrics. i was totally taken with some of the gorgeous and delicate patterns in the lace. i wished there was some way to "preserve" this tattered lace...and then it hit me...there is a way! i began to press the lace into clay and well, the rest is pretty self explanatory, yes these little dishes were born...I've also been stamping different words in the dishes as well...i'm really excited to expand on this idea...many of these pieces will be making their debut February 11th at the Art for Hearts Charity Event sponsored by G-Magazine that I will be a guest artist at...stay tuned for more photos...
