Tabletop Sculpture for Dining Room Table in Atlanta, Georgia.

I love it when clients connect with a piece of art that I've created.  This happened recently at the American Craft Council's Atlanta show back in March.  One of the first pieces I sold was a beautiful tabletop collection and the client was kind enough to allow me to keep it for the whole show in order to share it with other clients and take commissions from it.  Lucky enough, I was commissioned to remake it 3 other times.  This is the second commission based off of the original and I'm very happy with how it turned out.  8 kudzu and poplar bark baskets covered in encaustic wax and nested in mountain laurel.  To accent, I added 5 hand-hammered copper fern and rhododendron

I love nature and have been fascinated with wasp's nests, bird nests, etc. I also appreciate fine craftsmanship in basketry. When visiting the Grove Park Inn, I was intrigued with Matt Tommey's basketry. What creativity! He shipped a piece to me, and it was finely wrapped and arrived in perfect shape. Thank you Matt!
