Rocket to the Moon

This is not about paper arts but I have to share it! The very talented men in my family have collaborated on this beautiful piece and I am so in love with it.  My husband, Simon is a woodworker. He works at EcoInhabit, doing the fine woodwork for Eco homes. He also makes beautiful boxes, furniture, installations and my theaters. He recently became interested in collaborations with other artists and created a challenge for my Dad. He made this beautiful base and asked my Dad to make a pot that would respond to the design. My Dad, Steve Irvine designed this metallic pot in response. I love how it looks like a rocket and transforms the stand into flames. It also allows people to see the crosses on the top of the stand. Ever more in awe of both of these men.  I hope you will check out my Dad’s amazing work. He makes ceramic pinhole cameras which are out of this world. I’ll post one of them here too.

A camera by Steve Irvine that combines both ceramic and metal parts. Overall it stands 46 cm tall, and it uses a 4×5 inch piece of photo paper for the negative.
