spotted succulent...

spotted succulent, just added to the shop...

{cotton, recycled linen, wire armature, wool stuffing, vintage pottery}

i knew when i found this piece of vintage tribal print pottery in an antique shop last month, that i'd have to wait patiently for just the right textiles... and then i came across this perfect shade of spotted cotton (a color somewhere between navy and teal and gray and green), which happened to pair perfectly with another blue recycled linen that i had.  after that, i just had to convince myself that i could part with this one!

happy wednesday

dark skies make for quiet in the afternoon...

a few shots, captured while shooting some of my work one day.  the dark skies made the afternoon so perfectly quiet, like one of those early winter mornings when the absence of sound tells you "the world is covered in snow"...

and then the sun tries to break through the gray clouds, and you find the perfect, after-storm light...

happy wednesday
