Design Patois: December 2010
http://designpatois.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 2, 2010. Sol LeWitt still gives - The Shul print. December immediately brings to mind giving. The late Sol LeWitt was an active member of the Chester community. He was extremely generous to so many people. When I visited the Chester Gallery recently (one day they will. Have a website) owner Sosse Baker showed me the "Shul print." The Chester Gallery is selling a limited edition (175) print framed or un-framed. Proceeds will benefit Congregation Beth Shalom. Posted by Jil Nelson.

Design Patois: Dalton Ghetti -- Graphite Guy
http://designpatois.blogspot.com/2010/10/dalton-ghetti-graphite-guy.html
Monday, October 11, 2010. Dalton Ghetti - Graphite Guy. On a recent visit to the New Britain Museum of American Art I came upon three framed pieces of Dalton Ghetti's amazing carved pencils. The focus of the visit was to see the Escher exhibit (which was fascinating) after which we decided to look at the contemporary art galleries. Poking around, I was surprised to see Ghetti's work. I ran to my friend all most yelling. "He's here, the pencil guy! They are not for sale. But . . . Posted by Jil Nelson.

Design Patois: April 2011
http://designpatois.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 16, 2011. Indulge me. I know that this is at least the third time I've addressed the topic of toile (and insects for that matter) but I promise this will be different. In this morning's Financial Times. There is a wonderful how to spend it. The Glasgow Toile above and the London Toile below. Which brings me to their insects. Insects have long been used in traditional design. Here are two from the TB line of fabrics: the Napoleon Bee and The Moth. Maybe not a table cloth. Links to this post.

Design Patois: Gleena -- Wedding Season is Upon Us . . . .
http://designpatois.blogspot.com/2011/03/gleena-wedding-season-is-upon-us.html
Monday, March 21, 2011. Gleena - Wedding Season is Upon Us . . . . Recently I stumbled upon this delicate looking line of hand-made porcelain called Gleena. Palatova works out of her studio in. It's her nature motifs that I am most drawn to. I would love to see more insects. While the porcelain looks and feels delicate, it's actually extremely durable. I love her palette. These are colors I could look at every day. Actually, I already do. Posted by Jil Nelson. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Design Patois: Vittorio Constantini -- Glass Artista
http://designpatois.blogspot.com/2010/10/vittorio-constantini-glass-artista.html
Wednesday, October 6, 2010. Vittorio Constantini - Glass Artista. Most recent issue is devoted to the city of Venice and gives a shout out to one of the most amazing glass artists, Vittorio Constantini. He had been represented by a gallery in Nantucket, but I do not recall its name. My love of bugs and fish brought me to him. Here is a link to a bunch of great videos. Bees and honey are glass.
