2 weeks ago i was visiting my friend lotta at her impeccable studio in brooklyn. as i was on my way to philadelphia, she HIGHLY recommended that i go to terrain at styer’s, which is just outside philadelphia. i am SO glad she did. what a magical place. it’s a nursery, a retail store, and a café . . . all rolled into one amazing situation. we spent 3 hours there soaking in the peace, the beauty, the food, and the inspiration. it reminded me very much of a charming place in stockholm called rosendals tradgard. i was also delighted to see that they were carrying some of my manufactured wares ! it was a win win kind of day.

and eating it TOO . . . well, starting on january 1, 2011. i have decided to go on a ‘custom order hiatus’ . . . it’s actually more like a ‘creative sabbatical.’ i find that MOST of my time in the studio is spent filling custom orders. and though i do love making things for people that they actually want, my creative soul is not being fed and i feel like a machine making the same things over and over and over again. this is starting to make me feel resentful, dissatisfied, and dead inside ! SO, what this means is that (with the exception of a few items) i will no longer be taking custom orders or new wholesale accounts (starting in 2011). i plan to be on this sabbatical for 3 months, or forever . . . though i will continue selling wares on my online store. hopefully you will begin to see some new items appearing there.
i am SO looking forward to being creative again, making non functional sculptural work, working on the wheel, making really BIG things, taking classes, painting, wandering the streets, eating more cake, etc . . . below is my custom order binder from the past few months. looking at it everyday gives me a big stomach ache. i can’t wait for my INBOX to be EMPTY !

i love cheese. the stinkier, the stronger flavor, the better. i also love to draw cheese. i drew these standing in front of the dean & delucca cheese case in soho. they always have the most handsome selection of cheeses anywhere. i could stand there for days drawing and nibbling on cheese (i would so love to be locked in that store after hours !).

i thought it was a little too early to show holiday items (i mean it IS still october and all) but then i went into GUMP’S and W O W. it is an explosion of christmas trees, ornaments, glittery sparkly things, snowmen, reindeer, santa clauses . . . the WORKS. and here are MY new 2010 porcelain holiday ornaments. they are stylized “snowballs” with my signature lettering stamped in with words of holiday cheer and well wishes. every single ornament will be different.
