They are really beautifully hand-crafted by artist Joy Raskin . Handwritten on the back of each spoon are a unit of measurement and the artist's initials (JR - white arrow in photo above). She also sent me the porcupine quills and I was surprised at their big and small size. I have seen the quills but not in these sizes. And she keeps an African hedgehog as a pet and collects her shedded quills for her artwork. European hedgehog is illegal in this country, but African ones can be kept as pets. Isn't she cute? Thank you, Joy , for the spoons, quills and great photograph! Tuesday April 21: Somerset Studio Magazine I got a free copy as a compensation for having my Field Guide book photographed and published in this magazine as part of L.K. Ludwig's article on various techniques for capturing images from Natural World. Thank you, L.K. and Somerset Studio ! Thursday April 24 - Small Studio Productions Oh la la! Great good from Ginny Carter Smallenburg's on-line store ! Love that postal box door, tapes, stencils from Coffee Break Design, vintage collage ephemera, and rubber stamps. Great service! Thank you, Ginny ! Friday April 25 - Rubber Stamps from Kelly Kilmer I read the post in Kelly Kilmer's blog about her efforts to reduce the rubber stamp inventory by selling some of them off. I screamed at her through email to gimme some, and this is what I got. What a great deal! Thank you, Kelly ! What a great week it is! What about these books on the director's chair?? Oh, they didn't come in the mail - I bought them at the Museum of Modern Art Book Shop in New York City yesterday. I gotta go and read these books - I'll get back to you and let you know what I think of these books. &rew http://www.blogger.com/profile/00091737078501203562 noreply@blogger.com
