Vintage vases

I only realised recently that I have a bit of a 'thing' for vases. It was only when I looked around my home that I realised how many I have, in all shapes and sizes. So I really enjoyed drawing these vintage vases. I tried to capture the raised design on each one, as well as the  vivid colours.

 

Faceture

I recently came across the work of designer Phil Cuttance, and had to share his work with you. 

He creates beautifully simple yet complex vases and lampshades in chalky colours using triangular facets. These are produced using an innovative technique of casting water-based resin in a hand-cut plastic mould. Once the resin is dry, the mould is removed and you are left with a beautiful, one-off piece.
