Holding (caressing), collecting (hoarding), and using (obsessively) Mary Ann Carroll's ceramic components has sparked a fire for the rustic, handmade, ceramic components I have been featuring here on my blog.
It is a thrill and a joy when I find an artist whose work blends with my own. The combination of which make me sit back and feel satisfied once they are completed.
May I share another love of mine?
Her name is Lynn Holt and she is on etsy under the user name; Midnight Coiler.
In addition to handmade baskets, gourds and pottery, she creates the most amazing bits of rustic, ancient looking stoneware pendants and beads.
Here is what I put together using some of the stoneware that I purchased from Lynn;

Please visit Lynn here at her shop, but beware, her prices are waaaay too reasonable for her amount of skill! I do not think you will be able to resist!
These ceramic pieces are so paired back and 'essential'. I love them and the finishes she uses. Plus they are a definite match for your work. Beautiful designs, both of you!
ReplyDeleteThanks LeAnn! That means a lot coming from talented ceramic artist such as yourself!
ReplyDeleteWow!! I love her rustic aesthetics, you did a super job of creating with them. I am off to check out her shop.

That is like peanut butter to your jelly, Shannon. Are you sure that you aren't secretly collaborating while you sleep?

ReplyDeleteBeautifully rustic, like crusty artisan bread and freshly churned butter-you two artists complement each other very well!
ReplyDeleteYummmmmmm! And, just what I needed...another place to lose all my bead money ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this wonderful shop and artist! I love baskets and I went right over there and ordered some "chocolate" (of course!) pendants! The way you combined them with your own work is a perfect compliment to both artists.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Shannon, your work is amazing! I can't believe how good you make my charms look!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for featuring my work in your artful jewelry and here in your blog.
