mary elkins

by far mary's most famous work to date. accepted into multiple well-known exhibitions. so beautiful.

"extension of a womans self." installation of slip cast crocheted houses;homes. {proud to own one of these!}

organizing imaginary space (in progress)

this is merely a "sketch" by mary for a larger more complete project. beautiful nonetheless.

crocheted brick wall (growing project)

chair made of movie tickets (current work in process)

meet my good friend mary. this girl is incredible. currently working on her masters at virginia commonwealth, she works primarily with clay and fibers {sometimes simultaneously}.

{dipping flowers}

i have fallen in love with this process of dipping anything that burns into slip (wet clay) and then firing it out. Here is my latest concoction. quite beautiful just how they are. if these turn out half as beautiful as i anticipate, you should look forward to seeing them in my soon to be etsy shop!

ezzie jane

one spring morning.

three am…

a few weeks ago, I woke up at 3 in the morning with an undying urge to tie strings into knots simulating the appearance of a doilie. well…needless to say, i got out of bed and did it. here is the result…but not the end product. I plan to dip these in paper clay and fire them in a kiln. the strings will burn out leaving a delicate hollow porcelain doilie.

{a president party}

pin the beard on the president. designed by raine.

cake made by mimi {& raine}. table cloth made from 25cent bandanas found at a thrift store.

raine wanted to have pies thrown in her face.

the donkeys, elephants, and independents all showed up to celebrate Raine’s seventh year of life! Raine picked the theme of “president party” {not sure where it came from} for her birthday, it was fun making this happen for her.

zinc doilie

a small zinc plate that I plan to run a large edition of. large meaning probably 25 or so. you will soon discover that I have gone doilie crazy.
