Walter Bosse

Walter Bosse donkey figurine
My husband got me a Walter Bosse donkey figurine for my birthday. If you haven't seen his little figures before, check them out on Austria Brass or his site. They are delightful.

Micro Mosaic, oh my.

Many a micro mosaic brooch have I admired but never did I know there was such a thing as a micro mosaic 'painting' until recently on the Antique's Roadshow. It's completely unbelievable that this could be made of little pieces of glass. I must see one in person one day. This one belongs to the Gilbert Collection.

Triian

jeweled ring by Triian
I found Triian on Etsy one day and I think their work is simply amazing. They contacted me to do a trade with them to which I readily agreed. I have one of their little necklaces, which is delightfully dainty and lightweight but these big rings are real stunners.

Waylande Gregory



Just discovered the work of Waylande Gregory - an American potter born in 1905. Fantastic graphics - great colors.

Card Project



I've been working on a set of drawings that could make some nice cards. Or tshirts (maybe) or dishtowels or wall prints. No, really - just thinking some blank greeting cards for now. Trying to decide on colors, what kind of paper to use, what color paper to use, etc. Lots of decisions to make. 

Honestly, I would like to screen print them -- it would give so much more interest to the flat color.  We will see.
