Curling a Bouquet

As complex as I like to work, I do so enjoy beautiful little things borne of simplicity. Katerina Kubova looks to spend a fair amount of time carefully curling small, bright colorful bits of clay and gathering them into simple but beautiful little bouquets.

Simple designs may seem to make creating a nice piece easier but in fact the simplicity makes getting it done well all the more important. With the complexity and dazzle of a more intricate design or treatment of the clay, the workmanship, color choices, and form will stand out. If you want to work simple, you must do it very, very well. That is why pieces like this work. There is obvious care and consideration and that is what makes them noteworthy.
