It has always amazed me how some people can take a simple mound of clay or other compound and create the most perfect objects.
I often wonder if they feel what they see as it is created. I recently have had the pleasure of experiencing the bread dough and cold porcelain art of Norma Rudloff Talk about amazing! Norma makes flowers that look so real you can literally imagine the fragrance of the flowers.
The roses are so delicate and beautiful. Each piece is handcrafted. The color is added to the Bread dough and kneaded in then Norma gently forms the flowers. Her cold porcelain pieces remind me of the porcelain pieces my Grandmother and Great-Grandmother owned.
Norma has created Victorian style pictures, jewelry, Barrett's and even single flowers for people to buy their loved ones. She told me that some people have had her roses for over 20 years. They are easy to clean she said by using canned air, a hair dryer, small brush or feather duster.
Next time you want to buy that special someone a unique gift think about a rose made by Norma Rudloff.
