I’ve been working on some more functional art for Matter Gallery in Olympia. It was fun working on the pieces and a little hard to hand them off – like saying good-bye to your children. Check out their shop either online or in person, Olympia is full of interesting places to visit!
Collage with brass stencils, ephemera, tape measure and a window pulley.
Chalkboard from plywood, brass stencils, old oil company measuring stick.
Hooks with “zip” letters, ephemera, old fir.
Collage with old measuring tape, brass stencils, ephemera and fir flooring.
Cupboard made from an old drawer, old door, insulator, and pressure gauge.
Detail of the old pressure gauge.
Collage/mirror made from old fir, auto mirror, “zip” letters and ephemera.
You can see more functional art here.

Super fun!!! I need this kind of inspiration to make a NO SOLICITING sign for our porch. You have a great eye for mixing and matching!

That’s a great idea! You could use those little brown paper stencils – the brass ones are hard to find. Love your blog, such fun!

Thank you! You must get very attached to the pieces you create. If I was able to do what you do, I would not be able to let any of them go. I love your work.

thank you! Yes I do get attached and sometimes if I sell one I remake something similar so I can sell my cake and have it to…so to speak. LOL. I will have to pop down to your area one of these days and check out the shows and galleries, they look fabulous.
