Speaking of Lobster and Swan… (I mentioned the site in my last post)
That’s where I found this wonderful artist, Melissa White of Fairlyte.
Her “fresco secco” technique reflects old, cracked and aging walls. After plastering on a flexible surface, various methods of distressing the surface are employed to make it appear appear time-worn. The final piece is either left dusty and matte or finished with bee’s wax for a rich, shiny patina. Finally the piece is mounted onto a box frame ready to hang or use for lining furniture and walls.
She draws inspiration from vintage and historic designs “from across Europe and as far as Japan.“
How I would love to own one of these… For now I’ll just file them away in my list of dream purchases.
They're just gorgeous Kate!
