first we have a tableau in black and white with fuchsia that is composed of
a truly amazing figurine created by katy and sarah(my two favorite frauleins) in honour of Das Rheingold's openingand of course portraying my gal Freia
a mini canvas with a gaff tape eye that was done by Achim Freyer during a fitting with the singer who wears/lugs around the Freia costume case(he decided that the apples should have eyes)
a milk glass puddin' cup that i got at salvation army this weekend...plus two mystery seed pods picked up at the garden
a framed papercut that i did a month or so ago(more on that another time)
a cheapo cut milk glass looking vase w/fading camellia
a signed charcoal drawing that Achim Freyer gifted me with in thanks for my hard work(instinctually, i think that it is Freia, but i dunno...i love it!!!)
nextly, this was my delicious dinner of cheese risotto, roasted butternut squash and a poached egg...yolky goodness and don't forget the parmesan and freshly ground black pepper.
just finished an aimee bender book. "an invisible sign of her own." i'm not really a huge fan of her writing. i haven't quite been able to put my finger on it yet although i think that it might be that it is a little too laced with melancholia and lacking a certain lushness in the writing style. there were some very nice details and moments, but overall, meh... on the other hand "the historian" by someone whose name eludes me right now and i'm too lazy to get the book from the bedroom, is rich and fluid and magical...and i've only just started it.
