This mini stack of second-hand clothing is almost ready to roll.
Collaborating with Kelly Reemtsen, I mirrored the colors of the dress in her painting.
Both works will be part of our upcoming show, Gathering Threads, opening soon at Galleri Oxholm in Køge, Denmark.

Hi, I’m Rae! I live on a mountain in Ireland and spend my time painting tiny plastic toys and bringing tabletop worlds to life. In 2024, I focused my art on sculptures inspired by the stories and settings of TTRPGs. I love working with rubbish, card, and polymer clay to create something unique from the ground up.

What Happens When a Plate Shatters and Its Artistic Pieces Go Free?

FRAGMENTED: Turning Broken Plates Into Art

Rob Strati’s “Fragmented” series shows how something broken can become something beautiful. It all started with a plate that belonged to his wife’s late mother, Barbara. One day, the plate fell and shattered into pieces. Instead of throwing it away, Strati saw an opportunity to create art.

Rob explains it best:

“This work was inspired by a plate from my wife’s late mother, Barbara. One day it was dropped and shattered. Some time after, I picked up a pen and started working on the ‘Fragmented’ series, exploring the possibilities of things broken and the stories that can evolve from them.”

Using the shapes of the broken plate, Strati created intricate pen drawings. Each piece became part of a new story, showing how beauty can grow from something unexpected.

Finding Beauty in Broken Things

Strati’s work reminds us that imperfections can be powerful. His art is similar to kintsugi, a Japanese tradition of fixing broken pottery with gold to celebrate its cracks. Instead of hiding the damage, Strati’s series lets the broken pieces inspire something fresh and creative.

View from the music cam’s perspective on my stream. My new “workplace”. This is an adventure and an undertaking and a huge change for me for sure! But I love it and I’m going to work my ass off to make it successful. #PoliticaVinylence #TheSpinRoom #UpcycledArt

I've been trying to finish my Christmas junk journal, but it's hard when you feel so sad that you aren't there.
I took some time to try to embroider a bit on this old handbag turned into a book cover. The star on it is from an old necklace.
I'm thinking whether I should do more snowflakes or if is cuter like this.

A raggedy looking book cover made from a faux leather handbag, with a metal and wooden star attached to it. The fake leather is brown, and there are small embroidered details on it: three small fir trees and one snowflake.

Art of the day. This one seems appropriate piece for New Year's Eve. I love The Starry Night and this is my homage to it's brilliance. It is made with broken glass from car windows, so yay upcycling!

Happy New Year y'all!

@KatieKinsman @valhund It's called "himmeli". :artpeek: Here's my take on that tradition, made from upcycled water pipes. #UpcycledArt
