Up In The Air Somewhere

I've been thinking lately a lot about minimalistic organic white ceramics and how I naturally gravitate towards them when I'm out shopping. And more recently, I've been dreaming of white and gold ceramics and jewelry and I'm not sure where this obsession stems from. Then I remembered Up in the Air Somewhere which is Chicago-based designer and artist Susan Dwyer because she uses some white and gold in her work...

Susan makes some of the most stunning papier mache and ceramic vessels and spoons... and because she does not use molds, no two pieces are alike making them each display subtle differences from the last. This isn't helping to tame my desire for all things white and gold... :) So, so pretty.

On a personal note, I've been wanting to paint things white with gold trim and I've set my sights on some pear-shaped wood coasters that I have and a brooch that I'll have to work on later this week to satisfy my curiosity.

What about you, do you have any particular obsessions lately?
