Basic Black and White

 3 Pieces of Black and White Kilnformed Glass
-
Recently a buddy of mine decided that one good way to decrease work related stress and increase her productivity would be to decorate her workspace creating an atmosphere that was enjoyable and positive. She began coordinating fabrics, photo frames and folders with black and white designs. Such was her enthusiasm that I also jumped on the bandwagon wanting to make my own contribution to her new work environment.

I often talk about kilnformed glass being functional. Well, here are a couple of pieces in action. The four inch sushi plate is serving as a coaster to protect the wooden desk from condensation. The three inch dish is the perfect place to hold your rings when putting on a bit of  lotion or a fancy pair of dangling earring when on an extended phone call, thus ensuring they wouldn't get misplaced. Art and fine craft and not just things to admire. They are things we should feel comfortable living with and enjoying.
