gift wrap...
i had to show an image of how one of my customers packaged & presented their special order ring to his girlfriend.....(this is the same ring pictured a few posts ago). love it!!!
this ring was made for carling hale...she is an incredible photography....you can see some of her work and unique perspective on her flickr page, myguerrilla i have her postcard from her graduating show hanging above my bench in the studio.
strange fruit
i found this performance company, browsing on flickr, with a truly unique perspective on dance, theater and circus. they call themselves strange fruit. i love the thought of the candy colored costumes dramatically "floating" and swaying in the air.

on sunday morning, chris and i met monique of articulture designs.
her plant and succulent sculptures and wall art pieces were incredible and a definite highlight of the day.
also, fabulous ceramic wall installation by jennifer prichard
all pots all the time...
eating a meal from a dish that is carefully considered and cultivated into a functional piece of art is a daily experience i much enjoy. i have been collecting pots since i was in school at SIUE, but my affinity for the process and result came at a very young age. (think silver dollar city). my folks had to drag me away from the fella demonstrating. the real point to this slightly related story....
chris will be showing his ceramic work at the texas clay festival this weekend along with 60 other clay artists. come out and show your support for the handmade, and, you too, can eat your next round of icecream out of a handmade bowl. visit the show site here. and you can see more of chris' work here if you can't make it in person.
yes, he's my husband, but i'm only biased because it's GOOD!! go see it :)
