Okay, today we're going to talk about spheres. A recurring motif in nature, spheres are all around us. Why, the earth itself is a sphere. If I would take the time, I could give you some wikipedia-d information that gives a bit of history of man's relationship to the circle and its role as the representation of the infinite. And so on. But for the purposes of commerce I'll skip all the high-minded stuff and go right to what matters to me personally. I am surrounded by circles every day in the store. I find that I am drawn to shape again and again, as I keep buying vintage glass floats (insert mental image here), old croquet and bocce balls, and now wooden orbs composed of tiny round shapes glued to a sphere to form a festival of circle shapes. You really have to see it to know what I'm talking about. I WILL post a photo. Really!
For today's final sphere: a vintage lamp composed of a teak arrangement above an aqua colored glass ball. Huge lamp, huge statement. Very cool.
