WILD CHILD

continuing to gather work for my upcoming show at Paxton Gate Curiosities for Kids...  Come to the opening July 6th!!!

a little installation

had the pleasure of working on a petit installation last week... just a little set up of my work and some found objects... enjoy

Wall art

Just made and installed this piece for Alexa, a 17 yr old who loves color mixed with vintage flair and handmade art. Looks great in her new room!

Makes Me Feel...

William Hundley... things he does in his garage

Makes me feel like I should be doing more in my garage!

Spring Window #2 is UP!

Spring Window is UP!

Excuse the poor pics form my phone. I will be posting better images this week!

Hundreds of reused plastic water and soda bottles became this spring sphere of flowers!!!!

The Atrium features this sphere, which is 92" wide and two others, one 72" wide and a baby one about 48" wide. All the flowers are strung on thread running floor to ceiling. I used over 2000 yards of thread!

Nesting

Aaron and I have been collecting bird nests. I was searching for images of nests on google when I came across this installation by Benjamin Verdonck. The Dutch artist built a giant sized nest on the side of an office building in Rotterdam and lived within it for a 5 day period. Check out the video below!

The Holidays are here at Anthropologie! Paper poofs tumble overhead. Look closely; I am in there somewhere!

Funnels holding handmade ornaments sprout from wood stumps...


Little lamps on birch trees light the way for customers...

snowballs for sale, 5 cents each...

How many inches of snow this year? And a Holiday window to come....

A Reading Nook for Two

My bedroom has been rather dull for months. It always seems like its the last room in the house to receive any attention. I added a little woodland charm last night with some lichen covered oak branches, making this reading nook fit for two little fairies. I made buntings out of scrap fabric to make it even more magical.

A Busy Week...

So I've hinted at my new job and I wanted to share my first window and display for Anthropologie with you. I am the Display Coordinator at the 4th Street store in Berkeley and am enjoying it immensely!!!   I just finished the window installation this week and I think it turned out beautifully! If you are in the East Bay come check out the store; the installation moves throughout the exterior and interior space and is fun to see in person. The text in the picture above it hand cut paper in the style of Rob Ryan and was the first bit of display I did for the store last week. I'm having so much fun in the new position!
