sometimes the after tea party photo is better than the actual tea party photo.
case in point.

salt + pepper.
i have a new set of sketch salt + pepper cellars in my shop !
i call them “sketch” because i draw directly onto the piece like a pencil on paper, one of my favorite mediums !
you can see them HERE.

sf girl by bay . . .
(all photos by victoria smith)
i had the extreme pleasure of studio visitor, victoria smith. we had a fun time chatting over a cup of tea and a chocolate croissant (well, how can you go wrong ?). victoria’s blog, sfgirlbybay, is definitely one of my TOP favorite design blogs EVER. her eye is phenomenal and her aesthetic is right up my alley. i am also in complete awe of what a great photographer she is. BEYOND. she was gracious enough to write a lovely blog post about wilma and me.
you can read the article HERE.
here are some of my favorite photos she took in my studio . . .

dirty girl.
today i touched clay for the FIRST time ALL YEAR ! i have been so caught up in WILMA’S WOLRD and hobbling around with a broken foot that i have not had true studio time. i’m looking forward for things to slow down so i can get my hands really dirty again.

a slow start.
it has been a very slow start to my year. it was my complete intention to take a hiatus for the first few months of 2015, but with the unplanned BROKEN FOOT, i am now forced to, and am moving at an even SLOWER pace than i expected ! i am trying to put a positive spin on it: i have time to pause (actually to completely stop) and to think about where i want to go with my work. all i know is that i want to go somewhere NEW ! i honestly think it was the universe who planned my broken foot so that i would actually STOP before i start again. i am often too feisty + stubborn for my my own good.
i was looking back at my really old work. thought about revisiting some of it. but then decided that i needed to move FORWARD not BACKWARDS.

white is right.
i’m loving the light and white in my studio.
white walls are like a clean blank canvas.

starting the year out WHITE !
though i do LOVE red brick, it wasn’t working for me in my studio. it was feeling dark and busy. red brick walls are wonderful for a restaurant, a cafe, a home, etc . . . but in a creative environment i need light and calm.
i’ve been wanting to paint my walls white for a while and i finally did it. it has changed the whole aesthetic of my studio. i’m looking forward to starting the new year in my “new” studio. i will reveal the studio side when things are unpacked and in order. i’m still in super slow motion because of my broken foot !
white is right.
