Because we felt like it

I hope that this will be the beginning of a very beautiful partnership. The item being displayed is one that AB and C have created in collaboration. C's use of knitting and felting (a.k.a.- darn, I put my wool sweater in the dryer)are combined with AB's woodturning skills. He also chose the appropriate pink ivory wood to coordinate appropriately. I am a little slow to post this object on Etsy due to its sentimental value as well as my pure love of many things pink. However, this is a collaboration that I do hope will continue in all colors and sizes. Most importantly it is all hand made. Please enjoy. http://www.etsy.com/shop/woolwood

Lets see about Etsy


My current task is to get advertising!

Not always an easy task as an artist who really just wants to "make" things.
Today I have newly posted some items that I believe are great explorations of materials and have a sense of humor. I believe that dressing everyday provides an opportunity to explore one's self and to investigate the beliefs of others.

The New York Times recently had an article on scientific research that discovered you could improve your ability to focus and learn by wearing a white coat that you associated specifically with a doctor's coat. If you believed it was a painters coat, you didn't improve as much as if you firmly believed the coat was a doctor's. Your chance for gained focus only increased if you actually wore the coat.

All very impressive signs that what you choose to wear can matter and if you pay attention you never know what you will discover.

Enjoy!
