(two more) patchwork floral urns /pots / vases

2011-09-05T16:46:00.006-04:00

Made these two urns / pots / vases while on holiday. The dress is a 2nd hand find from Copenhagen; I like the way the fabric is half-way in between 70's wallpaper and something a bit Japanese.

urn / pots for avantgarden

2011-08-09T12:10:00.031-04:00

Tina Ratzer and Louise Gaarmann invited me to make some urn / pots for their "man". They are part of the group Avantgarden and will soon be showing at the London Design Festival; their theme is 'Beautiful Mortality' and I'm delighted to be part of the project. The group decided to only use brown and white so I went hunting in all the 2nd hand shops of Montréal to find suitable fabric. These are the first urn / pots I've made using patterned fabric but I'm already making some new ones.

happy summer holiday
