Tree Ornament


These little 3.5" ratties don't mind hanging by their tails, especially if the tree looks as good as they do. White as snow, they can even decorate the mantle, protecting your favorite holiday card display. Fifty bucks a pop.

Other Projects From The NFDC studio

This is another one incredible projects we have been working on, here at the Non Fiction Studio,where anything can be made in porcelain. Hand Carved forms combined with digital prototypes, are cast in porcelain. This Minilith and Monuette project has exploded since the residency at the Dresden Porcelain Manufactory. Click here to see the origin of the branch forms.

a start

It seems like we are forever coming up with more and more prototypes. This is a start to a hanging light - we wanted to create an embellished bare bones structure - and then go from there. So far so good. Later this week we are going to have tomato cages specifically built for this idea - stay tuned.
