vahine no te vi

oh well, i was going to do a great post today...
about encasing fine silver foil and vintage italian glass ashtrays...
but, the beads are still soaking in a bowl in the kitchen and the ashtrays are unphotographed.

i did have a great time making a glass order from moretti & more

and thinking about gauguin

paul gauguin - vahine no te vi / woman of the mango, 1892

inspired by this painting, i bought some rich purple glass from arrow springs called violet nights, it is made by kugler (available thru moretti and more).
