cubic glove

"What can an artist do at the factory on the basis of industry?"

These might look familiar from yesterday. Process of production is so interesting from a design point of view. Old industry and craft reinvented through art and design. Like it's stated on the label, "cubic glove has infinite possibility!"

They were a lovely gift (thank you Xtina!) that's already so popular that it's made it to pre-school share twice.... safe to say this has been an item that is working on many levels!

folks

Almost 100 year-old engraved greeting card, found in a box of stuff left behind. Fine detail, face illustrations no bigger than a fingernail.

Mark and His Pictures

Mark and His Pictures, by Carol Odell, illustrated by Gerald Rose. Walker and Company New York, 1962. Hard to find. My thrifted copy has several pages missing, and I wouldn't mind knowing what the rest of the book looks like....

auto kwartet

Dutch thrifted treasure, I have two boxes "Auto Kwartet" bought two years apart. I never have seen any evidence other of the Kwartets....  Koninginnedag, Groningnen.
