Tag!

I fell in love with this photo that popped up in my Flickr contacts by Russian artist, Sasha Kulakova, recently.

The simple shapes, the bright contrasting colours, so stylish and just crying out to be made in glass.  

Sasha was really pleased to have inspired me, so she took up the challenge and recreated my Poppin' Buttons

Wow!  Crochet?! Incredible!

I just couldn't leave it there though - Ring Toppers!




Playing Tag! like this has been brilliant fun, I'd love to hear if anybody else has been inspired across media in a similar way.

Do check out Sasha's photostream and blog, her work is beautiful.  I'm loving her stress relief cats and funky birds ... black, white, orange, mmmmmm ...

    Hi Julie
    Love your work. I really love the 3mm PVC colored tubes. Would you know where I could purchase some? I am from Canada and have never seen these before.
