I love bringing fresh flowers into my home. From the first bloom of the year (daffodils at my house) all the way through to the last greens of winter, I usually have a little snippet of something fresh in at least one room in my house.
I've been working on some new vases so that other people can have that luxury too...vases that I hope are lovely enough to stand on their own, but not so intricate that they detract from the flowers that I add.
Especially since I tend to just grab a few simple blooms without ever doing anything fancy with them.
I'm finding that I really like grey vases with flowers. For years, I made all my vases white, but I think I see a lot more grey vases in the near future.
See how the flowers just pop against it?
And although these aren't vases, I think the flowers on them give me permission to add them here.
I made them as spoon rests, but people have been buying them for ring dishes, soap dishes, for business cards...that's one of the things I love best about doing shows in person...you get to talk to the customers and see just how they are going to use the pieces in their every day lives.

WOW! Those vases are breathtaking! and the plates, oh my! I especially love the blue flowers and butterfly. You create such works of art.
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you so much, Nicole. I do so love to add flowers to things. :)
DeleteHow come I've never noticed your beautiful pottery so far? I love grey vases but they are quite hard to find. The striped one with the tulips is especially lovely! Adorable work altogether!
