This is great and simple way to construct a rocking chair. With a few changes it could be really nice. Also a good opportunity to work with patterned cushions, since these wouldn't be hard to sew.

Drawer Detail
A simple and elegant detail that becomes the focus of the whole piece. Note to self: another great example of what can be done with curvy strips.
Morgue
For years I've been hoarding reference images in a folder on my computer of things that inspire me, or that are similar to ideas I've had myself - basically things that have some kind of relationship, either realized or not, to my own work. A friend of mine recently informed me that this was called an artist's "morgue", a term I'd never heard of.
Anyway, I thought it would be a fun winter project for me to post images from my digital morgue, along with a brief mention of why I collected them in the first place. Mostly they are images of furniture and lighting, and because they've been around for a while I don't always remember who designed them. Sorry about that. :-)

The 15th Day
The afternoon of the 24th was OK, and I can't argue that the 25th wasn't downright gorgeous, but that's as far it goes. I've always wanted to do a countdown of June fog......

The 8th Day
Technically we had a bit of a break yesterday - the sun came out long enough for a beautiful afternoon and a nice evening with friends. Then the fog rolled back in.

The 5th Day
of cold, foggy weather.
I'm working on some new lighting designs I'm excited about. I'm waiting for more material samples to arrive and it's so hard to be patient. Progress is so slo-o-o-w.
I might have found an excellent recycled material with all the qualities I am looking for however, which would make it worth the wait.
Some preliminary prototypes:
Also, somebody had a 60th birthday.
There was belly dancing and fire....
...beautiful young women....
...and cake! What a great party!

Zzzzz.....
I recently saw some things that might help to rouse this blog from it's slumber.
The first is this incredible loveseat designed by Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien:
I'll let you read all about it here on their website, but it kills me, I love it so much.
Also today I went to Castine to see an exhibition which is part of a week of workshops sponsored by the International Guild of Miniature Artisans. I can't help it, I love anything miniature, especially food. It was a small show, but with some amazing entries.
Afterwards I walked around town a little bit. Castine must be one of the quaintest and most picturesque towns on the Maine coast - I felt like I was in a movie or something. Not to mention that it was a gorgeous warm day after a week of 50 degree fog, and the scent of lilacs was everywhere.
Don't you think this would make a perfect new studio for me? With a yoga studio upstairs, I'll take it.
Oh yeah, I did finish those kitchen cabinets, but I haven't shot them yet....
