Flowers and Antlers

Antler Vase, Porcelain, Fiber, 14x5x5in, 2010

This shape was created from a block of plaster that was turned on a wood lathe to create this elegant shape influenced by European porcelain factories of the 17th and 18th cnetury. After that I created a plaster mold from the shape and casted it in porcelain, drilled holes for the embroidered antlers and flowers and added some knitted swag! 

Stacked and Re-Stacked Antlers

These are my eight polished (took me weeks!) bronze caste antlers with porcelain hexagon connectors! They are able to be re-stacked as many ways as possible!
