my mom loves to have people over for lunch at our new studio. i love it too, because i usually get the left overs AND i get to hang out with cool artists. today we had lunch with sara paloma and whitney smith (i love throwing myself at whitney’s feet . . . she pretends that she hates dogs, but i know that she secretly LOVES ME).
3 days ago, i felt like i fully entered the 21rst century . . . i finally got an iPhone AND i joined instagram all in the same day. for a self proclaimed Luddite, these were two pretty big moves. i was convinced by my jet setting friends that i would love both of these things, and they were so right. as much as i hate to admit it, the iPhone 5 is a pretty near perfect device and instagram, well, it’s just so satisfying. if you want to follow me and see what inspires me or what wilma and i are up to, go here (raedunnclay on instagram).
(i used these linen napkins at a luncheon i had at my studio today and just threw them over the back of a chair when i was cleaning up. later, the light was hitting them just so . . . sheer beauty.)
i designed a new salt cellar and this one has a “spoon.” most people prefer to “pinch” their salt (i’m one of them), but there are some people who are squeamish about having a lot of fingers in the salt and, well, it is more ladylike to use a spoon. so now you have options. and you can still go old school by ditching the spoon !
get one here.
there were rusty staples in my studio door that had probably been there for 40 years. i had been meaning to pull them out since the day i moved in, but i never had the right tool handy. well, today was the day. i surgically removed each one with an official staple remover. it was the most satisfying thing i did all day.

the sun was shining directly on this collection of oddities and it totally caught my eye . . .
1. a silver wishbone given to me by a good friend.
2. the remains of RUSTY (my last kiln that i just said goodbye to).
3. the perfect pod that i have had with me for so many years.
for some reason, i seem to be having subliminal spring on the brain. or perhaps it’s just stemming from all of the newness and growth in my world these days. whatever the reason, i have some new springish work in the shop. and, spring will be here any minute . . .
the NEW YORK GIFT SHOW starts this weekend . . . these are just a few of my new products for spring.
