One Good Thing: Peacock Soft Sculpture by Abigail Brown

London-based artist Abigail Brown truly does magic with fabric and thread.  I own several of her pieces and there are no words to express how intricate and beautiful her work is in person.  Her latest series includes this stunning Peacock Soft Sculpture (available in her shop).  You can see much more of her work on her website (be sure check out the soft scupture gallery) and blog.

One Good Thing: Brass Pencil Sharpener

I'm going to attempt to write this post without sounding crazy...but you should know that I am quite literally nuts for this pencil sharpener.  I purchased mine more than 10 years ago (in a little art shop in Idaho) and since then I've even gone as far as to say that it's one of my most treasured possessions.

First I have to start by describing its surprising heft when you hold it in your hands - not heavy so much as hefty.  Sure the shavings tend to get all over, but the beautiful points in carves with the mere flick of your wrist more than makes up for that.  Before you write me off as a complete loon, you just might want to try one yourself.  The KUM Pencil Sharpener is only $5 at Greer Chicago, and it just might be some of the best money you'll ever spend.  Anyhow, hopefully I made my point (har har...get it - pencil sharpener = point).  xox Ez
