Cakes and Dogs

Ornamentation is fun. I think I have never seen any type of authentic ornamentation that was serious or dull .It always an expression of fantasy, enjoyment, poetry . It can also be a little weird.
Of course,when you work on commission somtimes you cannot let your imagination loosen up in your ornamental compositions...and make them fun .
When I create the collections I exhibit at Maison et Objet I am free to loosen up or even go crazy...
Here is what it looks loke when I have fun.

I picked up an old design, changed it , added stripes, pink flakes upon pink stripes and pasted in images of a recent historical movie...
