i've been working on some new ideas since moving to penland. i've been thinking about lines and different ways they come together, especially borders and other outlines. when i was flying a lot in the fall for my west coast trunk show tour i became increasingly fascinated by the outlines of farmland and the meandering patterns of roads. also, around election time, i looked at the blue and red map of the u.s. a lot and really began noticing the shapes of the states. i think between my birds eye view from the plane and that map, these shapes developed.
as i am sure many of you can relate, i have to be thriftier than usual right now. i had all these little circles in my scrap bin that were the insides of my
flat egg shapes. instead of recycling them, i just started cutting them up. what came from that light bulb moment are these shallow domes.
all this work is for the
acc searchlight show at the end of the month. i will also be bringing lots of
line drawing pieces.
thanks for reading.

that shallow dome necklace is wonderful! will it be part of the new line?
hi and thanks! it won't be part of my collections, but will be a part of my line drawing series most likely.
