comments: michele is a home design editor and prop stylist who has worked for many of the top home design magazines over the years. she also wrote a terrific book, the new apartment book, which is full of beautiful, well designed ideas for home decorating and is available on amazon. more recently, she opened a prop house that focused on tabletop items for photo shoots. in her work she sometimes had trouble finding the perfect piece for a shoot and so began making her own. these pieces are profoundly beautiful! she impressed the work with the texture of linen and applies glaze in a very organic, expressionistic way. each piece is hand made, unique and absolutely stunning.
