The Fables of La Fontaine

Always looking for inspiration i found this childrens book at Strand for $1.

The Dish

I discovered porcelain markers this week and decided to make a set of dishes. I bought the plates at the dollar store and to my surprise they survived the oven. I can't wait to finish!

Paint

Found this plate shelf on the curb. Painted it, hung it upside down and it is perfect for holding my paints.

Fuzzy

These great illustrations come from Heejin Roh. I saw them at the School of Visual Arts gallery in NYC and picked up two cards with these illustrations that now hang in my room.

Perch

Found this headboard out for the trash. Painted it and attached fabric to the back.

Bird Day Afternoon

After visiting my boyfriend (almost every weekend) at his parents house I come home inspired. His father is a painter and his mother makes jewelry. She is currently working on a necklace for me which I can't wait to wear. I also have done some metal work that I thought I'd share with you. The earrings are made out of silver, copper and brass wire which have been soldered together and covered in a patina. The bird is made from the same 3 metals with a textured tail and patina feathers.

Blaze

Sunday night I was up in NY to see The Great Jack O' Lantern Blaze. There were thousands of carved pumpkins.
