Already started on those new years resolutions… here are the first test samples of my new project. Handmade clay discs using the same colours and patterns as my paintings. It’s nice to be able to work on a smaller scale and still feel true to my process. Looking to build up to making larger more detailed surface designs after testing these out. If you see anything you like, my etsy will be open…
I’ve been working a lot the past year on establishing my work and finding my feet with painting again. A R T W O R K you can find my work here ^____^ x

Dorothy Jeanne Thompson (August 6, 1930 – April 13, 1986), better known as Dorothy Ashby, was an American jazz harpist and composer.[1] Ashby extended the popularization of jazz harp past a novelty, showing how the instrument can be utilized seamlessly as much a bebop instrument as the saxophone. Her albums were of the jazz genre, but often moved into R&B, world and other musics, especially on her 1970 album The Rubaiyat of Dorothy Ashby, where she demonstrates her talents on another instrument, the Japanese koto, successfully integrating it into jazz.

The results are a stunning crystallized dress, which seems nothing short of surreal and straight from a fairy tale. Take a look below at the uncanny images.
