For a friend's daughter's wedding, I incorporated a couple of
vintage doilies, made by her grandmother, into ceramic vases.
Carefully dipping the vintage lace into clay slip and draping it creatively
onto the wet form, before kiln firing.
I love how the lace looks like it is still cotton,
even after it has been fired.
You need to touch it to realize the difference.
Another fun experiment using a vintage appliqué
on a vase form.
And now her daughter has an heirloom piece that
she might actually use, considering that she is not fond of doilies on dressers!
