I have never been so pleased with a product endorsement as I am with Aunt Barbara’s pitch for my designs. Who knew.

I was hired by Tupperware to solve the lid/body problem. You all know of what I speak. So far all my lids and bodies remain coupled. And what’s even better is that these babies are guaranteed to last a lifetime. I know plastic is a dirty word to some, but really — a lifetime of use — how much more sustainable can you get? Buy them here if you dare.

My plaster Q was a little pricey at eleven bucks, but it makes me happy. Ah, small pleasures.

This antlered fellow looked completely at home in the neighborhood.

Russia has been in the news a lot recently. In that spirit, here are a few items I picked up in a stationery store years ago while on a nutty trip to the Russian Far East. The plaster shapes are educational tools used to teach perspective drawing to young students. The fans feature diphthongs. A sort of Russian fun-with-phonics. And the lesson book – well – as one can see, it’s unlike what any 4th grader in NYC has on their desk.
