Artists Palette

This box is made for artists! Ideal for supplies, notes taken, a place to stow information culled for that next creative endeavor. This handmade cherry box measures 6"x 6" x 9" high. A festive box with black feet adorned with red fringe. The top opens by way of a dimensional palette knob. The color and detail on this box along with all the great images make it a show stopper! Certainly a box any artist would love to have!

Treasures from loved ones, trips to galleries or absolutely nothing can be tucked inside this collectible art box. Emblazoned with rubber stamped images representing this most exhausting of professions--being an artist. Not that it's tiring, just highly misunderstood. If your have an artist in your family, I hope they are understood.
This box may help bridge that gap.

The colors and playful fringe with the strong graphics make this a really fun box. Inside, the bottom is lined in black velvet. All my boxes are sealed with a clear spray finish. All my boxes are handmade and hefty- NOT purchased from a craft store- handmade!!!!

My boxes are quietly making their way into esteemed collections around the world.

Hospitals and Airports

Hospitals are like airports.
Exits and entries.
Arrivals and departures.
Laughter and tears.
Waiting.
for
tests
flights
answers
healing
Old magazines.
Crumpled newspapers.
Brochures
Information.

Walking
to gates
to labs.
Sitting in institutional
chairs.
Staring at wear patterns in industrial carpet.
Looking at nameless faces and
codes on loud speakers
calling no one
you know.

Places designed for the masses
catering to the needs
of a given moment in time.
Whitewashed in the brevity
of the short time we pass through
the open spaces
gates
thresholds
where movement
rolls
lies silent
wheels in unison
to the needs of those.
Who grip
safety railings
non skid floors
to keep from harm
from getting injured
falling
becoming confused
arriving late.
Getting hurt
Becoming healed.


Signage that
confuses
instructs
eases
educates
the time that we
wait
are alone
in a crowd
watch the people that pass by
and wonder.
Where are they going?
Arriving from?

Are they there for others
themselves
To exit
to enter
to stay
to be tested
to visit
to comfort-
those coming
going
admitted
late
delayed.
Gone.

Time passes in these tiled spaces
quickly
slowly
Days
hours
minutes
on boards
kiosks
clocks.
Decorated diatribe.
Alone and in groups.

As we wait for answers
smiles
deadlines
tests
goodbyes
hugs
kisses
fate
hope
Among crumbled newspapers
coffee cups
bandages
In seats designed for brevity
that feel like eternity.
Sometimes.
We wait.

To Have & To Hold

Weddings bring people together in the most wonderful of ways. People who are meant to share this life find one another, unite and share the joy as they begin their journey.


A few months ago, dear friends Marc and Wendy began their life together.
Jon and I created a TattooDream box to hold wedding cards for the day and memories forever!


The entire wedding party wore red Converse hight tops........so did their box!
Their dear friend Parker shot the wedding and in doing so crafted a lifetime of memories for them. Every smile and nuance captured the love and happiness.

Blessing of love and health to you both!!

Patricia & Jon
