Ame in Rogasa Air Bowl with Baccarat Butterflies

Alexandra took voice lessons after school and her singing teacher always had a crystal candy dish with fancy mix hard candies. She loved her teacher so much because she was extremely glamorous and would describe how she and her husband chose each piece of jewelry that he would gift her for anniversaries. He always had “Babydoll” inscribed on each piece he gave her, even when she was in her eighties, she was his babydoll.
The crystal bowl modeled in this piece is one of a his/hers set Alexandra gave her husband for their fifteenth anniversary. The pair is from the Rogasa series The Four elements. 

Alexandra chose to use her die cut machine to create the Baccarat gold foil butterflies that are fluttering on the "brick" wall spray painted in the background. She and her son found the "Ame" - Japanese Hard Candy at a place he likes on Sawtelle in West LA, which is a two block little Tokyo.
