Fragments, Shards or Artifacts


I finally caught up with Lulu Fitcher in her West Peterborough  NH Studio and enjoyed an hour or so browsing through her pots, buttons and other neat ceramics.

She had a large jar of broken pot bits and here is what I came home with.  Can you see these backed with gold lame and freeform beading around them?


Modern archaeological artifacts?


 I first saw Lulu's ceramics at the LNHC Fair several years ago and have wanted her to do some small pieces for bead embroidery ever since that time.   Turns out all I had to do was root in her artifact jar.  












This is what happens when one of her unglazed porcelain fragments meets a bead crochet rope.

  1. Those are wonderful! I love what you've done and I can't wait to see what you do with the rest of them.

  2. That is really well done. I love the textural contrast between the beads and the ceramic.
