domestic construction

i really admire the work of domestic construction in NYC and they're an inspiration for bramble workshop.  they do such a wide variety of interesting projects!

i love these images of their apartment.  (ps: where can i find a bat kite like that??)

caitlin wylde

i love these photos of artist caitlin wylde's studio...  a lovely combination of her work and found objects.

the shell shop: excells in shells

i'm back from a wonderful camping trip in big sur!  and luckily my traveling companion katty agreed to a stop at the shell shop in morro bay on the way home...

new hermès windows

the panels that i painted for the hermes store in beverly hills went up yesterday.  it's so surreal (and thrilling) to drive down rodeo drive and see something that i created.

i can't believe how lucky i am to have such an amazing client!  thank you again tracy for recommending me.

i

pom pom tassels

giant tassels made from pom pom trim...  why not?

(a commission for YEAH! rentals)

dot garlands photo shoot

one of the wonderful things about living in california is being able to photograph your work in places like this...

(and i saw a bobcat right before taking this!)

michelle quan

i'm taking a ceramics class that starts tuesday and i'm really inspired by michelle quan's work...  i hope to make some beads that i can incorporate into my macrame work.

michelle's work is sold at love, adorned in NYC, which looks like an amazing store!

shell art

even on my days off i'm obsessively making things!

looking forward to a trip to the shell shop in morro bay this weekend to buy more shells!

(for sale here)

dot DIY

i'm working on a fun DIY project for green wedding shoes that will be posted on 6/18.   it's given me a newfound respect for people who create DIY projects- it's so challenging to explain these projects clearly!  i've also realized how many of my projects involve a glue gun!

forms take shape

from a library in vermont to a wedding reception in california...

scan of an illustration of crystal & mineral foundation that i found long ago

the illustration was source material for these paper cutouts, for YEAH! rentals

the 2D shapes inspired sculptures made from balsa wood

the sculptures were made for a table setting designed by bash, please

hello!

i've decided to start a blog documenting bramble workshop's projects!  i'll post photos of work in progress and inspiration images.

above are two mobiles i designed for my most recent set of windows for hermès.  they were cut from plywood and then painted a cream color with gold edges.  the breeze in the store was enough to make them orbit slowly around the nearly invisible black string.

i'm really into mobiles right now...
