banquet

thursday

i am loving this acid yellow, and i also love this idea. from here, via robin.
and i ESPECIALLY love it paired with this illustration of a fireball from 1764, and these fine fruits from confetti system who are still and will always be awesome and amazing.

green with envy

• i haven't worn earrings in probably 27 years. or so. but leopard jasper and diamonds? cra-zy. here.
• swiss national exhibition in 1964 from  schweizerische polierzeitung, the swiss construction foremen magazine. plus, a brutalist blog. awesome, right?
• how much do i love this brent bennet ceramic chalice (1966), available on 1st dibs via pale? and i didn't even know i needed a chalice.
• banquet needs a new warehouse/studio. and i want to paint it like this. tales of endearment via emily of dull diamond's pinterest (a favourite).

 

bronze + brass + gold lamé

a scattered slice:

• it's all in the mix: sequins + pleated gold lamé + sneakers. a blond mane helps.
• the one that got away, namely a largish 1920s cast bronze model of mount fuji, at erie basin.
• pots, garlic & pig fat soap –  still life 2010. ceramics by paula greif and natsuko uchino. photograph by victor schrager. here.
• adolf dietrich's stilleben mit frauenschuh und salamander, 1928. slipper orchid!
• climbing rope + brass fittings. might have to make my own ... from the ever fantastic jeana sohn.
• great saul steinberg-esque mask via cosmic machine.

probably all via pinterest in one way or another.

scattered

i need to work. it is piling up. instead, i will finish my coffe and share with you:

• a mix i love in this traditional russian dress from the amazing site finnish museums online.
• a czech poster for the russian film "barbara the fair with the silken hair," from here, via marya's beautiful pinterest. also marya's post on finnish artist klaus haapaniemi. that scarf and bat ornament are fantastic.
• a five-leaf clover growing outside my door. that's gotta be lucky, no?

 

wanting and needing.

 

 

ok. not needing. at all. but still appreciating colour, light and form:

• silver margiela booties. with "jogging pants"
• gat rimon cuff from eugene choo
• settée magic
• shells in my bathroom. everywhere. (i need a glue gun...) (from an old woi)
• amazing little tapio wirkkala fractured bowl. the glaze is amazing.

we leave for new york tonight. updates to come!

white hot

sometimes i wonder how i can love such disparate things  so equally, but then again, things are not always so different.

• art + table + brass in tyke o'brien's home via the brilliant book/shop.
• aluminum + brass + wood in the bloc deluxe necklace from ladies & gentleman studio at sight unseen.
• high fire pink glaze + blossom branches by betty feves.
• black + white capara silk trousers from maryam nassir zadeh

capes + moths + tilda
