fable takes it on the road
Remember that table project from last summer? An extra design decal was dusted off and finally put to good use. One trip to drop-off will show you a minivan is positively naked without some sort of "domestic portrait" statement in the lower corner. And stick figures or skulls never quite seemed to sum it up for me. But these guys are alright.

the plants : summer
California natives still beautiful, even while preparing for seasonal sleepy time.

old habits die hard
"Everybody can memorize the old laced or crocheted tablecloths, which were used as interior decoration at your grandparent's house. The decorations are beautiful hand made design, but do not represent today's style anymore. The knowledge about handcraft techniques vanishes. JONGHLABEL regrets that these old artistic techniques disappear.
In order to renew interest in old handcraft techniques, JONGHLABEL started Jongh Geleerd Oud Gedaan. Together with women from different cultural backgrounds and from different parts of the city of Amsterdam, JONGHLABEL started a co-production project. These women still know how to practice Dantel (Turkish handcraft technique), tatting, lace and crochet. JONGHLABEL transfers the beautiful handmade fabrics into modern jewelry. By turning them into modern jewelry, JONGHLABEL hopes to renew people's interest in these beautiful old handcrafts."
bravo!

compulsive pattern matching and the gridded pod
The moment I have been waiting for: an Angela Adams textile I could afford, and fit into my house: Dandipod, from the mini-handwovens collection. It arrived Friday and it is beautiful!
Hangs above our old map of Groningen NL that we have had for many years. Gridded pods, look!
And yet, more pods. My brain is strangely cascading with OCD endorphin oneness.
