Falling Down Pot Falling Down Pot
Falling Down Pot
$85.00

Plant something beautiful and new in this dramatic pot. Originally a black planter with a simply white floral design, it’s been reimagined as a feminist plea thanks to decoupage from vintage magazines. Finished with matte Mod Podge spackle and sealed with Mod Podge spray. Sans drainage holes, it’s great for peace lilies, pothos, spider plant, ferns, bamboo, and prayer plants (pictured but not included in sale). Approximately 7.5 inches tall and 8 inches wide at the top. Shipping included!

The studio also transforms underused objects into functional art using vintage magazines and midcentury marketing imagery. Browse the shop for a one-of-a-kind piece for your home or office.

Spark inspiration and organize your studio and with this one-of-a-kind art supply holder. This heavy glass container was first recovered with white, brown and yellow gift paper. The four sides and bottom of the square object were then decoupaged with creativity-themed imagery from vintage 1960s magazines. Finished with glossy Mod Podge glue and sealed with Mod Podge spray. Around 4 inches square on all sides. Shipping included!

Drippy Vase Drippy Vase
Drippy Vase
$75.00

A reclaimed glass whiskey bottle recovered first with white gift paper and then with decoupage from vintage magazines. The raised glass decorations on from the Suntory bottle were sanded so they stand out and so that the vintage characters can interact with them. The imagery and phrases come from my personal collection of magazines originally published between the 1950s and 1970s. The plastic bottle top still screws on nicely. Finished with glossy Mod Podge glue and sealed with Mod Podge spray. Around 8 inches tall and 3.5 inches wide at the base. Shipping included!
