Along with my lovely friends Ingrid and Claire, I went to the Art Star Craft Bazaar this weekend for an afternoon of fun craft shopping. By far my favorite booth of the event belonged to designer/illustrator/calligrapher Stephanie Kao and ceramist Robert Siegel. Their joint project "Dentelle et Guirlandes" features gorgeous hand-thrown pottery by Siegel that is embellished with Kao's lacy and delicate designs. I was lucky enough to come away with a glossy pink bud vase adorned with an owl motif similar to the one shown above. Without a doubt, the perfect gift for a friend or for yourself.
