BOWLED OVER: Heavens to Etsy!

http://halswork.blogspot.com/2007/10/heavens-to-etsy.html

A website about my brother's turned wooden bowls, the Hudson Valley, and random musings about life in general. Here, in the shameless brother-promotion department, is what I saw on Etsy. A few days ago. They had a contest to produce 20 user-curated posters of the best things on Etsy. There were a thousand entries, of which sixty were chosen (they couldn't stop at 20! On the right. And in a nice bit of symmetry, the silver bracelet. I'm waiting for her to make these budding twig earrings. In which she exp...

BOWLED OVER: tugging at my heartstrings

http://halswork.blogspot.com/2007/03/this-is-from-shaun-o-boyles-modern.html

A website about my brother's turned wooden bowls, the Hudson Valley, and random musings about life in general. Tugging at my heartstrings. This is from Shaun O' Boyle's Modern Ruins. Website, from the Boatyard Project. Twenty or so years ago, he and a friend photographed the tugs rusting away off Staten Island. They went back a year or two ago, and most of what they had documented- disappearing then. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Turn, Turn, Turn. Hal's bowls, spring 2006. Hal's Shop at Etsy.com.

BOWLED OVER: I keep HOLDING on...

http://halswork.blogspot.com/2007/03/i-keep-holding-on.html

A website about my brother's turned wooden bowls, the Hudson Valley, and random musings about life in general. I keep HOLDING on. It's actually "NFS, " and I think it's the one piece Hal really can't part with. But if we don't stop reading ourselves into each of these things we'll never part with any of them!

BOWLED OVER: Home Run

http://halswork.blogspot.com/2007/06/hal-lives-in-apartment-my-father-built.html

A website about my brother's turned wooden bowls, the Hudson Valley, and random musings about life in general. Things I loved about the house: it had a formal dining room with a chandelier, a kitchen with a butler's pantry, CEDAR CLOSETS (! From my parents' bathroom window there was an incredible view out over the Rondout to where it met the Hudson. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Turn, Turn, Turn. Hal's bowls, spring 2006.

BOWLED OVER: LET'S DISH

http://halswork.blogspot.com/2007/04/lets-dish_20.html

A website about my brother's turned wooden bowls, the Hudson Valley, and random musings about life in general. That have made their Saturn Space Ship appearances in some of his work. But it was Hal's interpretation- I think- of something iconic that we had grown up with, and maybe because my brother(s) and I all have such a vivid memory for our childhood (which vanished overnight when our mother died at 39 in 1972), I, like Hal, have a hard time letting go of ANYTHING connected to her and to the past.

BOWLED OVER: GOOD DOG!

http://halswork.blogspot.com/2007/03/good-dog.html

A website about my brother's turned wooden bowls, the Hudson Valley, and random musings about life in general. At 10:30 we were back down at the river's edge, where the access road was now just a shallow lake instead of a mile long deep one. Her husband came out at the cel phone's ring to guide us back on the labyrinthine adventure back onto the tug (which was even less fun in pitch darkness with just a flashlight's beam between you and a drop into the river).

BOWLED OVER: Cathousin'

http://halswork.blogspot.com/2008/08/cathousin.html

A website about my brother's turned wooden bowls, the Hudson Valley, and random musings about life in general. My Grandpa Hahn built this house from a 1937 Popular Mechanics design ("Build your Daughter This Dream House! Where, mind you, I didn't have much space. So it perched on the windowsill for a decade and both my cats, then kittens, spent time in and around it, clearly not interested in re-arranging the minute wooden furniture Grandpa had made for it. Please God, no! August 10, 2008 at 11:55 AM.

BOWLED OVER: Ghosts

http://halswork.blogspot.com/2007/08/ghosts.html

A website about my brother's turned wooden bowls, the Hudson Valley, and random musings about life in general. When we were kids, the whole house was ours. This may not sound like much, but since we came from a tract house in California, a house in Kingston with a BASEMENT, a SUN ROOM, TWO FIREPLACES (one in the formal dining room, one in the sun room- and oh, that one? And now we had moved to this 1928 art deco /art moderne kit house. As does some tiny spirit of my mother. Turn, Turn, Turn.

BOWLED OVER: 'S no Joke

http://halswork.blogspot.com/2008/02/s-no-joke.html

A website about my brother's turned wooden bowls, the Hudson Valley, and random musings about life in general. I love Shoshana Snow's ceramics. I got on etsy. Originally to try to help my brother, but I ended up being a consumer of etsy goodies. Even now, when my credit card should be in the freezer in a plastic bag, stuck to a bag of frozen peas. Or otherwise hard to find, hard to use.I am lusting after THINGS. She always does the underside of her work as well. So much zing: shape, design, color.
