A Mantelpiece Meet-Up - Ceramic Lovers

This Mantelpiece Meet-up is a casual affair.
Two friends enjoying each others company, and discussing art.
That of Mr Lichtenstein to be exact. Of which I had the pleasure of seeing lots of at the weekend at The Tate Modern.
Bold colour and graphic lines are right up my street, and the ceramic duos. : D x

Love (maybe) In The Air!

Hello, hope you've had a grand week.

All good this way, lots of nice work discussions being had which is always a boost for the ego.

But back to these guys, someone's playing hard to get here.
I'm pretty sure though that it won't last for long though, who could resist those blue eyes ; )

Love is in the air for sure  X X X

Poodle Doodle 2 = A Love For Oddities. x

Hello there,

I've been thinking about why I've always ( as stated in previous posts ) had an obsession with ceramic animals, kitsch ornaments and oddities.

I am a sucker for a broken ornament, or anything that might look a bit weird and not quite right.

Drawing these ceramic finds is something I keep going back to. I think the attraction is the character that is already present on their faces, stances and often scenarios that they are in.

This and my love for vintage scarves and pattern never fails to provide me inspiration.

I'm fully aware where this comes from, my wonderful Nan, who sadly is no longer with us, but has left me with a passion for things that has sculpted my creativity and enriched me greatly.

Her home was a treasure trove of objects, broken at times and rather dusty, but always bright, silly and full of character. This combined with clashing patterns and textures has led to my appreciation of things that do not tale themselves to seriously.

Thanks Nanna Alice. You were a ray of sunshine x x 

Ceramic Lovers 2

Not that long ago two of my ceramic ornaments fell in love.
We were not sure if there was a love triangle going on, it's still unknown.

These two though, are totally head over heels. I can confirm there is no third party : )
Nothing nicer than meeting somebody and getting 'that' feeling.
She's a little ditzy, he pretends to be tougher than he is.

Pleased that they have brought some sunshine and colour with them.
We all need it, when the nights draw in.

Have a fabulous evening, whatever you're up to.
