altarflamea 12x16 print:
an 8x10 fabric block:
a 24x36 oil painting on canvas:
And I have not won, but am bidding on, this:
3 originally painted mermaids on pages of Hamlet (Ophelia! Mermaids!). 5x8 inch paperback pages. Some artist named Cramolini who makes a lot of wild claims about themself did this...I'm really loving it more the more I look. I'll frame them side by side if I win, and I really hope I do...
Also, I bought Ananda an Alice in Wonderland mug for her birthday months ago, right after we went together to that "Alice in Wonderland Tea Ettiquette" thing, at the bookstore. She was thrilled about it, and then last night Aaron (unintentionally) broke it. So I was looking around ebay for similar things thinking maybe I could replace it for her, and found out it was part of this giant collection of Alice in Wonderland dishes and tea things and trays and all sorts of crap, by Paul Cardew. I'm really, really intrigued O_o I mean, who DOESN'T need dessert plates that say, "Alice soon made out that she was in a pool of tears which she had wept when she was nine feet high"? I suddenly have visions of myself as some sort of collector that has eleventy billion pieces of this stuff that get passed down to my children when I die. Like new bits will be what I'm getting for Christmas for the rest of my life, and whenever something gets broken my children go to drastic lengths to hide the evidence or glue things into a ruse.
For now, I have a LOT of cleaning to do and some white bean and chicken chili to make, before Laura arrives in a couple of hours to watch my kids while I go to the therapist.
