There’s treats for the table as coffee connoisseurs can pour an even shorter latte to-go with thimble-sized mugs and pitchers. Potters put a tad of talent into hand-thrown espressos, shot glasses, mini pitchers and matcha tea bowls. An artisan tea light holder elevates any occasion. Functional glasswork is studded with macro strokes of genius with embellishments of many murinni rosettes. Playful pocket-sized glass hearts express shiny, happy affection.
Demi cups by Elke Seefeldt of Arlington, Va. and Brian Grow of Alexandria, Va. serve as handmade homes for undersized succulents.
Dress up shelves and desktops with sculpturette Venus torsos, abstract refined or rustic figural forms and down-scaled architectural structures. Choose from elegant petite crystalline bud or organic imprinted wildflower vases. Expand the personality of a succulent by establishing it in a clay art demi cup.
Upgrade a Zoom background or bookcase with conversation pieces. Original small-scale paintings, drawings and indigo eco-prints provide inspiration that transcends their diminutive size. Pair, stagger and group smaller wall-hung work to create a substantial impact, many times over.
Artists offer compact compositions in the form of jewelry. Lustrous and iridescent fused glass are formed into medallions, while micro original compositions are painted by hand onto porcelain earrings, bracelets and pendants.
Nano treasures make an atomic impact and are simple to sock away and travel home. Give life a little lift, shop small and buy direct-from-artist.
