I was so excited to be contacted in June by a client to create two sculptures using her mother's china. The china had been passed down to my client and she wanted to commemorate her mother by creating a sculpture. She generously also commissioned a second sculpture for her sister-in-law. The challenge for me was to create two unique pieces using the same materials. The china was mostly white with 2-3 pink roses per plate. The stems of the roses are in a gray/black. We agreed from the beginning that I would use pink or white beads at the neckline, however, when I was working with the china, I suggested we consider using black faceted glass beads. The client agreed and now you see the result. I am thrilled- there are so many things that I like about this piece. I am delighted with how it turned out and hope that the piece will serve as a beautiful reminder to the client of her mother.
