Wow, what an amazing impact the string has on these vases and stones–they look like well-used artifacts.

Wow! Love this! Not that it would probably look as nice, but I feel like someone could DIY these with like vases from IKEA and some yarn?

(I do NOT mean that comment to take away from the beautiful craftsmanship of these mudpuppy ones!)

I purchased 3 of mudpuppy’s mini porcelain mushrooms and put them in my terrariums – you’ve never seen anything so cute!!

What I love about Mudpuppy’s design is taking the beautiful shape of the vase (I want to fondle it!) to the next level with the weaving. The texture with the smooth surface really work for me.

Nice picture. What are the stones on the table — or are they ceramic?

Aren’t those stones amazing?! They are naturally formed! You can buy them at http://beadedheather.etsy.com …i’ve purchased a couple sets that I use in my display at craft fairs and people beg me to sell them to them…but I can’t part with them either. ~M

Am I crazy, or do these look just like Ted Muehling’s egg vases? Just a thought.
