California-based ceramic artist Angela Schwer creates beautiful and handmade ceramic flower sculptures and tiles from hundreds of expertly formed pieces of clay.
Schwer does all of her work out of her home in Windsor, California and offers her ceramic creations for sale through her online Etsy shop Dilly Pad. The mother of two began her fascination with polymer clay in college during an art classroom internship, and even after becoming a stay-at-home mother, she decided to continue her love for her craft.
These dense decorative objects not only cover different white ceramic flower arrangements like dahlias, chrysanthemums, gardenias and poppies, but also depict aquatic life like sea urchin beds and miniature coral reefs. Any of these ceramic art installations will look great hung up on the wall for an immediately eye-catching piece of naturalistic home decor.
