Artwork and Projects
Haystack to Heirloom
Straw Marquetry or French Marqueterie de Paille exploded in popularity during the Art Deco movement. Humble straw, dyed, cut, glued, and burnished to bring out the shine, turns mundane objects into heirloom items. Exhibit: The Tissue Box.
Breaking A Few Eggs
Coquille d’oeuf of the Art Deco movement, where designers adopted an Asian technique of using eggshell mosaics in lacquer and their own style. There is something so satisfying about feeling the eggshell piece crack under gentle pressure as it’s applied.
It’s Award Season
All year round. 2″ pins, mixed media, acrylic flow, some shimmer and shine with a hard resin coating.
