cake toppers by katie runnels

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

A few weeks ago when we visited Savannah, we stopped into shopSCAD, and I ran into the work of Katie Runnels, who was kind enough to share a few images of her work here with us today! Katie’s wreathes caught my eye at shopSCAD, but when I started to look closer at her work, I realized I’ve known of her for a long time. Katie made Grace Bonney’s beautiful cake topper.

Katie’s pieces tell a story and feel like modern heirlooms, which is why I love her work so much. You can find her at her blog, The Constant Gatherer, which is such a fitting title for an artist whose work is all about assemblage of found objects, or at her etsy shop. Thanks Katie!
