Inspiration can come from the smallest of elements. Inspiration can be sparked by the way a flower curls into itself, the sweet morning light reflecting off the dew on your front lawn, your child’s smile or the color of a perfect cup of coffee.
Inspiration for me comes in so many forms but especially in colors, light, music, and the small textures in natural elements. I find myself collecting and holding onto little bits of nature. I've been collecting thick birch paper because I love its color and textures and special rocks I have piled around the orchards because they have these wonderful patterns. Mike also collects, but he is holding onto objects lost and forgotten. Mike has been collecting old TV's from the 40’s, old clocks, pieces of rusted metal, broken windows, and bricks from old factories. We are filling up our studio with all this inspiration, actually it is over flowing!
This month we have been busy creating with all these treasures lost and forgotten in our studio. This old junk has a new purpose adoring beautiful pottery, glass, sculpture and jewelry. It has been reborn into beautiful own-of-a-kind furniture!
