inspiration lately

I'd like to acheve this sense of balance in color and rhythm within my work. mmmm...calm and realx. maybe it's just the rainy morning that is making me love these images.
or the sheer love for the incredible detail of the folding stool.
my new work will play with linen+ceramic and enamelled metal+ceramic.
linen pendant lights with ceramic involved somehow....nice.

some new inspiration

Recently I am very inspired by color in significant splashes and by silverware shapes, and french breakfast radishes. hmmm.
My next project focuses on to-go wares, containers, the idea of home cooked takeout, seasonal changes in diet, bento boxes, the small American farm and how we take "home" out into the worlds we live in. The project will, of course, be made via slipcasting clay. It is also inspired by my true love of stacking, something I can never get away from. Whether it is books by the bed, rocks on a shelf, papers in the kitchen, or dishes in the cupboard, I really love anything stacked neat and square.
Here's a few examples of inspiration...
