Want it! Lacquer Boxes

December 28, 2006

I had begged and pleaded for this Lacquer box from Shanghai Tang for Christmas.

But Santa didn’t supply. So, Ebay will have to suffice since the Shanghai Tang box is really too small and no one seems to sell what I really want — a long (24-30 inch box) that will store my jewelry in an unfussy way. I don’t want lots of little drawers (although I love the first example below) or compartments — I’m not good at keeping things organized like that and I’m always in a rush in the morning (not a morning person). Found these on ebay:

In Holiday Recovery

December 27, 2006

In Recovery from Christmas merry making I am catching up on blog land. I first saw Lisa Soloman’s work on Oh Joy! I love the whole concept of a painting a day/ a whatever a day/ Lisa’s year long effort is fresh and inspiring. For a slightly different take on the idea check out Duane Keiser’s work. I particularly like his oddments series of small works like the tiny marble painting below.
