The Lovely Pipes

Black aluminum vase from recycled pipe, 2010, Paula McCullough

If you're never been to PaulaArt's etsy shop, you are in for a treat! Besides a whole variety of vases made from reclaimed pipe, this talented artist has created candle holders and clocks from found materials like railroad fish tie plates and rusted railroad nuts.

I love these industrial and rustic materials used in sophisticated ways to showcase their wabi-sabi qualities. If you're into wood, you will not be disappointed, as Paula is offering a series of collectible assemblages from reclaimed pieces of redwood.

Check out Paula's blog too. She's inspiring!

p.s. That vase in the photo is MINE now! the precioussssss

    Cynthia-hold on to that vase!

    Andrea-yes you must! here's to purging.

    Paula-there's a lot more I could have said about you and your work, but I chose to keep it concise. Hopefully there are no glaring errors!

    The vase is in my office above my computer--just the touch it (and I) needed:-)
