A glimpse of my wedding craft-work



Some of you may be unaware that in addition to my art, I also have a small artisan design company called m e l i f e r a d e s i g n s.


Below is a small selection of a few items I've made.  Although I used to take orders online, due to time constraints, I currently only take custom orders, primarily for heirloom-quality gift items.  Email if interested.

Soaring as opposed to falling

 

I'm obsessed with the idea of falling, just as I'm thrilled by all things that fly.  In my show that was, until recently, up at Spacecraft, these were the themes that ran through my work.  And now, once again, I return to them, as I think of the stories of Icarus and Daedalus.
