updates on my current projects

So far, this year has been sad and distressing, but despite all of it, I have somehow found the space in my head to be inspired to create new art pieces. Three art pieces are a work-in-progress, and a fourth “idea” for an art piece in the brainstorming phase. In addition, there are preliminary plans for new candleholder design projects to keep me busy during the summer. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg! Not to be cryptic, but plans are in the works as we speak to unveil new design options, so stay tuned for that! ​
​

For now, three art pieces are in different stages of completion. (Clearly, my ADD has kicked in!)

​The one closest to completion is a new Tree of Life plate. This one is just waiting for a couple of coats of varnish, and then it can be listed for sale.

The next one to be finished will be a decorative plate featuring a dreamy castle ruin…because I love drawing castles—I love everything about castles—and wanted to woodburn one. I can’t believe it took me this long to get around to it!

And the final piece of Celtic artwork—which is only just in the drawing stage—is a commemorative plate for my mom. She passed away a few days before Easter—right in the middle of this pandemic. I decided the best way to honor her memory was to create a plate with her family crest--a pear tree. (There is supposed to be an arm with a hand holding the tree, but I took some artistic license for aesthetic reasons.)

This one (obviously) will not be for sale, but I am open to special requests starting in June. Just shoot me an email at dmlilly@disstudiodesigns.com.

So that about sums up the chaos in “Di’s World” for now. A lot is happening, and some new stuff is coming soon! I’ll do my part and keep you posted…so stay tuned!
