new sweethearts available to order

I’ve been working on some new things for spring and they are available now in my shop.

*update – sold out but more coming soon.

There is also a new one of a kind set – claude and gus. I’ll have something similar available to order soon.

a charm

Or amulet, or talisman, a lucky or magic thing made from a glass bottle stopper washed up on plum beach in Brooklyn that came to me by way of the park slope flea market and bits of 19th century threads collected in Japan by my friend Stephen.

I love the idea of all the things that had to happen in the world for these little bits to come together.

And Jason and the Argonauts.

I’ve been going through old files and came across this still from the film I cut out of a newspaper. I love the image just on it’s own and I loved the movie as a kid, especially the stop motion bits. You can see them here on youtube if you like.

things on a table

I noticed some things that landed in a way I liked this afternoon so I took a picture. The little box is a diorama I made a few years ago, I’m working on some new dioramas now.

Forest diorama – closer look – here and here.
