Spring 2023: The Art of Detail.
Somewhere between stained glass, little teacups, and a very enthusiastic amount of pearl, I fell a little further in love with the details. 🌸
Spring 2023 was full of the kind of ideas that make me want to stay at the studio table just a little longer. Stained-glass effects in beautiful spring colors, chinoiserie florals, pearlescent mokume gane, tiny bookstacks, butterflies, delicate daisies, and unexpected combinations that were becoming more and more unmistakably Olive + Arrow.
I love looking at the way this collection brings different techniques and materials together. The soft swirls of pearl mokume gane sit alongside graphic glass-inspired shapes; classic floral patterns meet playful details like teacups and books; and everything from the daintiest huggies to statement arches has its own little personality.
By this point in my polymer clay journey, it wasn't simply about learning how to make something anymore. I had so many techniques and design ideas to play with—and this collection feels like the joy of bringing them all together. Romantic, a little quirky, a little ornate, and definitely not interested in choosing just one aesthetic!
A little stained glass. A little pearl. A little old-fashioned charm. And, because this is Olive + Arrow, a little bit of everything else, too.
