Bespoke paper flower crown in shades of white, with painted washes of blush, periwinkle, taupe and stone ⚪️
This crown was designed for a wonderful friend, and was the exact challenge I needed. When I create pieces for you to wear, I want to make sure it is an expression of you, as if you made it yourself. Because in a way, you did!
Making paper seem lifelike is a complex process, and I love it but I also understand its creative limits.
Sometimes a final swipe of paint or pinch of glue makes all the difference, activating stiff paper into something that can breathe. But colour is so much a part of that energy, like flushed cheeks suggesting warmth!
So when I can’t rely on the vitality of colour, how else can paper come alive? And what can it say?

There are lots of bees and hummingbirds visiting my yard lately because of all the flowers that are blooming. I'm hoping that bats are also stopping by at night to visit my night blooming cacti. Oh, and lizards...lots of lizards running around #backyardhabitat #bee #beelove #beelover #pollinators #contemporaryceramics #contemporarycraft #kilnfolk #ceramiclove #modernceramics #modernmaker #artistsoninstagram #artforyoureveryday #createeveryday #arizonaartist #tucsonartist
♂️♂️♂️♂️interrupting the normal pink and yellow party around here to bring you this aqua-mermaid-turquoise color naturally dyed with violets blue is hard to come by (and also hard to photograph) and I’m not sure how long it will last so I’m going to spend the rest of the day obsessing over it #naturaldyes #mylocaldyeplants #30localdyeplants
