I’ll admit there’s something super satisfying about seeing new colorful decorative metalwork all stacked up. Yes, I do love seeing them all spread out as well. But the stacks just make such interesting combinations of color and line!
Nightstand styling with my new colorful copper dishes
One thing that has me really excited about my new colorful decorative metalwork is that it’s giving me an opportunity to style little vignettes around the house. Like this nightstand with some of my favorite things: dried eucalyptus in a Mod Home Ceramics vase, chunky glass beads I picked up ages ago in a shop in Venice, California, a few lovely books, and of course, a little metal ring dish and one of my favorite new copper bowls.
A new batch of colorful decorative metal bowls
I teased out a new batch of colorful decorative metalwork in my last post, including a few raised bowls, and I’m excited to share that this new batch is now available in my online store.
New colorful copper bowls (and trays) coming soon!
Before I went to the cabin last week, I spent a little time in the studio experimenting with a few more forms in my new collection of colorful decorative copper dishes. My favorite has to be this gorgeous little bowl, shown here stacked on top of two colorful trays!
Decorative metal dishes and Moon Mantra Deck
One more set of pictures from my trip to Dwellbox Treehouse Village last week! I couldn’t resist bringing along my Moon Mantra Oracle Deck from Alauna Whelan to style a few pictures with my new colorful copper dishes. And of course, pull a card! This one seemed pretty appropriate!
Decorative metal dishes in detail at the Dwellbox Treehouse Village
Last week, my friend Amber and I headed to Dwellbox Treehouse Village in Ohio for a reading retreat. (You can read more about that here.) Of course, I couldn’t resist styling and photographing my new colorful decorative metal dishes in detail in such a gorgeous space!
Books and bowls: an art reading retreat at Dwellbox Treehouse Village
A couple of months ago, I saw a post on Instagram to the effect of “I really wish I could go on a vacation where we just read books all day and then get together at the end of the day to talk about them.” I sent it to my friend Amber with a “seriously, we should do this” and she responded back with “we should go here” and a link to another IG post of a treehouse-style cabin in the woods.
Which is how, on Monday, I found myself and Amber with a car full of books, snacks, and some of my new decorative dishes on our way to a cabin in the woods in Ohio.
New colorful copper dishes! (Perfect for rings, jewelry, or just looking pretty.)
A few weeks ago, I spent a week in New York City going to museums, eating great food, and just generally absorbing all the art I could. I think it’s safe to say that all of that looking had me feeling inspired because I came home and decided to combine two processes I’ve been in love with the past year – making bowls and powder coating!
The result of this burst of inspiration is my first ever batch of little powder-coated dishes! While they aren’t food safe, they are perfect for holding rings and other jewelry or just as a little decorative accent in your home! And they’re available now in my online store!
studio guest bedroom makeover
Today I’m going to let you in on a little secret. My current studio isn’t located in my house – it’s actually located in the old stone farmhouse I grew up in. (Which is about a mile from my current house.) And ever since I moved my studio to the farmhouse, I’ve been harboring a (sort of) secret dream – to fix up the house so that I can have small groups of artists and makers come stay for workshops and retreats.
art makes you happy
I took this photo in my studio on election day. I was stressed and anxious and trying very hard not to look at the news, knowing that we wouldn’t have definitive results for days. While trying to stay busy in my studio, I happened to glance up at this wall and couldn’t help but just smile.
