set up for the ny gift fair

To view at a larger size, please click on the image.

To figure out what pieces I need for the NY Gift Fair, I set up a mock booth in my studio. I like organizing by color, and it seems to make sense for my work. I have many different images that I work with, and the color holds it all together. The missing pieces are coming out of the kiln on Thursday, the day I leave for NYC. I always have to work until the very last minute. I’ve been like that since high school, writing my senior thesis until dawn of the day it was due.

miss you, summer...

Canelle et Vanille, one of my favorite blogs, used the butterfly serving platter and the fern dessert plate beautifully. I can’t wait to make that tart. Thank you, Aran!
