We firmly believe that not only should your jewelry be beautiful (and handmade) but so should the vessel you keep it in!
This week for Artisan Market Monday, we’d like to introduce you to Elycia, maker of lovely little ceramics. She hand crafts delightful dishes and that you’ll be happy to display your jewelry in.
Elycia lives in southern Illinois, in a cottage and studio nestled in Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge. Her ceramic pieces are inspired by the nature around her — animal, insect and floral imagery can be found throughout her work. She explains, “I love working in my small, rustic studio. I enjoy the quiet noise of the woods. I enjoy the company of rabbits, deer and squirrels as they venture near by me as if to see what I am doing throughout the day. I have a little bird that often sits on my studio door and sings to me while I work. My studio has no heating, cooling or running water. I often collect rain water to use while working. I enjoy the challenge of adapting to my changing work environment.”
Stop by the Blue Buddha Boutique Artisan Market, 1127 W. Granville, Chicago, and and check out Elycia’s dishes, jewelry and more.
