Palette


 
"...the material teaches the artist." - Ilya Ehrenberg

As I was putting my art tools away, it struck me how beautiful these obstensively utilitarian artisan pieces are. Yep, I pulled out my camera...







La Muse Parisienne nue (nude)




The box that holds my paints
(the blurb is in French and Spanish):
"The range of acrylic paints and specialty finishes,
the most complete in the world."


I use this gorgeous tiny Japanese WWII vase
to hold my toothpicks (which I use as tiny paintbrushes)


bracelet pieces in various states of preparation


I found this partitioned plastic box
at my local arts & crafts store.
It holds all of my art bit's and pieces...


Pieces Francaises (French coins)
"I love you more than yesterday, less than tomorrow"


Japanese glass beads


Paris-inspired charms I bought years ago
They're so beautiful and delicate, I had to have them
I still have not figured out what to do with them

Skeleton Keys and Jump Rings


I love these Rockabilly Lucite Crystal Cubes!

 Vivre! Rire! Aimer!
