Stripey Bowl -- mauve, turquoise & stripes



'Apologies to Anne Chandler 1' (SOLD)

Because they were so perfect for the centrepiece of a birdbath, I purchased 4 boxed dinner plates - designed by Anne Chandler - at a funky northern Sydney beaches shop.  I very rarely purchase anything new for my pieces but these called out to me from the shop window. My apologies to Anne Chandler! There will, of course, be three more created in the series ... watch this space.

 

'Gold Floral' Bird Bath -- SOLD

 

'Blaxland Dreaming' - a commission April 2013

 

Gregory Blaxland - he of the pioneering crossing of the Blue Mtns with Wentworth and Lawson in 1813 - also contributed to the early development of the vine industry in Australia.  He later established a farm near Broke in the Hunter Valley vineyards and the current owners commissioned me to create a mosaic using all the pieces of broken dinnerware, bottles etc dug up during their time there. It was an honour and a delight to work with pieces that Blaxland may well have eaten from.

UPDATE:  July 28, 2013 

Made this small oval bowl as an extra gift for them -- from some of the leftover pieces.
