ETSY Tuesdays: Element Clay Studio

Well, it’s Tuesday, which means it’s time for my first “ETSY Tuesday” feature!

This ceramic interpretation of a hydrangea caught my eye within seconds. Element Clay Studio created this masterpiece in a wall hanging.

“This little beauty is fit for the taking...a micro version of my large tiles! Now you can have Hydrangea in the small size!
Hand made with the finest porcelain clay, it measures a diminutive 5” square and a few inches deep. I left the surface unglazed, as to achieve that ethereal quality of translucency that only porcelain can give.”

You can have a room of entirely traditional things and then throw a few pieces like this in there, and you’ve got instant style. Check out more of Element Clay Studios fantastic designs at their ETSY store.

Pretty in Pink - With Eddie Ross

Love this table setting Eddie Ross created for a “pretty in pink” themed event. All of his design ideas just fall right into place and get me so inspired to do my own beautiful tables.

Here’s what Eddie has to say about his table setting:

“Wedding receptions, as we all know, take so much planning and preparation that often times, they can end up feeling overdone. The centerpieces are too big, the tables too cluttered. For summer weddings especially, I prefer a more understated elegance with eclectic table settings and flowers that are simple but sophisticated. Here, stacked compotes with fresh cut roses add height to the table without overpowering it. One is vintage milk glass with a pretty lace edge; the other, sterling silver with a 1914-1939 engraving, a gift celebrating twenty-five years of marriage for two others long before.”

Check out the rest of the images from this beautiful table setting and the rest of what Eddie has to say about “pretty in pink” over on the Eddie Ross Blog.

Until then, here are a few sneak peeks to get you inspired!
