Linen Cushions

Sold out.

20" x 20" cushions in new heavy, nubby, soft linen.
Individually hand dyed for inconsistency of colour, hand 'texted' and distressed.
Some have crude repairs, patches, and stains for the look of old, re-purposed fabric.


The Harvest

The Harvest, by Christine Annas
This has always been my favorite time of year, and this year more than ever. After some kind of plague that had me on my back for almost 2 weeks, I'm now back to feeling 100%. And now, finally, the air has cooled, humidity dropped, (at least for now)... and we're running. 
Less than 4 weeks until our next show (which I'll post about shortly) and we're rushing to make up for lost time. 
But, there's lots of new stuff finished and much more in the works, so please stick around.
I'll try to get some new pictures up tomorrow.


Small document box

Small document box that I made from thin-planed pine and finished with a stained and battered putty-colour paint finish. 
Hand-hammered escutcheon made from old tin and nails.

French file boxes

only one left... M: Giraudet, bottom box, above


My reproductions of 19th century antique French file boxes.
Sizes range from 11.25 inches to 11.5 inches tall and 5.75 inches to 7.25 inches wide. All are about 12.25 inches deep (plus knob.) Sides are hinged to open (as in lower photo) with distressed ribbon tie closure.
Very sturdy double and triple laminated millboard with distressed painted finish and gold text and detailing.
$120 each (CAD).

Navy dartboard

sold

                                A custom dartboard in navy blue, white and grey.
19" wide x 20" high.

(Part of a recent humidity-delayed custom order.)
 Please don't think this means I'm taking custom orders yet.

Burlap horse

sold


A larger horse pulltoy made up of mostly antique parts and materials.
Carved pine armature and base, stuffed with cedar shavings and covered in burlap, leather ears, aged metal details and cast iron wheels.
approx. 23" tall x 21" long x 7" wide

Cool. Calm. Collected.


Last night, while shuffling around the dark, cool corridors of Industrial Decay,
I stumbled across a collection of great quiet photos by sj9966.













 
If you're like me, and prefer the cool dripping of pipes, mysterious puddles and echoes of pigeons over Cicadas and swimming pools... head on over and explore, here.

Back to the table

I've been away.
As some of you know, I recently decided to stop taking custom orders.
At least for a while.
While it has been exciting to go wherever inspiration takes me, I've also been a little out of control, jumping from project to project and finishing none.
I've heard it said that freedom becomes a kind of prison; we fly in so many directions we can't go anywhere... and I found that to be true.  I needed to step away for a minute and get my bearings, make some decisions, plot my course.
So now, though I'm neck-deep in half-finished projects, I have a plan.
