roll it fold it dart it



















I like this piece because of how fluid it is. The light colors and curved lines make it easy on the eyes. The piece is almost aquatic, I would expect to find something like this growing naturally at the bottom of the sea with a school of fish swimming through it.




This dish, crafted by Mark Pharis, could be easily mistaken for a ripe, juicy mango at first glance. It caught my eye with its contrasting bright orange and dark corner colors. I like that the edges are not smoothed completely and have been left slightly jagged; it gives the dish a rebellious personality.



This miniature horse trough was made by Holly Walker. The stripes on the inside could indicate that this horse trough was made for war horses. They also do a good job of breaking up the largely uncolored portion of the piece. The blue is easy on the eyes and has a nice sheen to it. The texture that covers the piece helps keep it from becoming stale, and creates a water-like feel.



Here we have a yin-yang style toaster-like object by Liz Zlot Summerfield. The dark vertical lines contrast the random leaf patter on the light side very well. I'm a little agitated that the sections of the piece aren't split directly up the middle, but aside from that I enjoy this. The gold handle on the top adds a nice brightness that is lacking in many of the other pieces I saw today
