little soldiers.

an army of 100 handmade porcelain mini cups are marching over to recchiuti chocolate confections for a special mother’s day gift box. as much as i am trying to steer away from production work, there is something satisfyingly methodical about making 100 of the same thing. plus, i couldn’t resist working with jacky and michael recchiuti. sorry if you are one of the wholesale or production orders out there that i’ve had to turn down, but this one was too sweet to pass up.

this is the B in my alphabet series. it was done with charcoal, pastels, and water color. i’m trying to bring a little more color in my life, though for me, “color” means vague, muddy and subtle.

happy saint patrick’s day.

the claddagh symbol has such beautiful and poignant meaning behind it. plus i love the look of this symbol, as it includes some of my favorite icons. i think it is the perfect symbol for a wedding. i designed this ring bearer dish with that in mind.

may the luck of the irish be with you on your day.

one of the projects in my “painting class” is to draw the alphabet in different medium and fonts. this “A” was done in charcoal and is approximately 14″ x 20″ (it’s a BIG little A).
