Yay! I am now selling on the boxsocial website http://www.boxsocial.ca/, look me up under artists if you're interested! they also havemany other talented artists from Western Canada selling their works.




These wall pieces are examples of my unconventional mosaics that I make constantly at kilnhouse out of old shards of my work and weathered boards from my parents farm. I find their is a nice juxtaposition between the materials

This is a new take on my porcelain cylinder vases that I've been making in the past year. This time I added hollow "branches" to the sides of each vase, creating a type of lace tree. I like that these pieces combine bring many elements together in an unexpected way. The rustic and pale outside contrasts with the bright commercial glazes of the inside, and the little red birdies just give a pop of color for your eye to hang on to. All of these are still for sale at my shop or contact me via email msbutla@hotmail.com.
