Ally Howell

It's been a while since I last posted I know... But I have a pretty good excuse-

I'm graduating!

Yeah... there's a tinge of exhaustion in that exaltation. I've got exactly six school days left before I am completely finished with my B.A. in studio art. I kinda can't believe it, I don't know what I'll do next. Well, I kinda do, but that's an entirely different post.

Onto the lovely pots above. I've been harboring this post for a while, and well, today is as lovely a day as any to share. I haven't found much information on what Miss Howell is currently working on (or even where she is working from) but these pieces are nonetheless too lovely to pass up. I love the direction she is taking her work-- how she translates the influence or Fabergé and Rococo ornamentation into a cruder approach to handbuilding. These are so up my alley. (No pun intended, seriously.)
