Painting
I got painting from a local estate sale in SF area for $20 and I'm totally loving it but I know nothing about it. I don't even recognize the signature at the bottom right but I love this modernist style and all of its colors, lines and textures and especially the little red human figures! It looks like a European city to me but not sure. Anyone know what this style is called or maybe the artist's name or period it came from?
the person i got it from...
the person i got it from said that it was her grandmother's cradle, implying that her grandmother sleeped in it. I did the math and let me tell you I was a bit shocked. Sometimes I think people selling furniture will say anything if they think it makes a good story.
nice finds!
LOVE the painting. Love it.
Also, the Nanna Ditzel high chair. I don't know how practical it is without a tray--I guess ok if you have a washable table to eat at. But it's beautiful. (And the cradle even more so.)
The Moller bench---I rewove one of those. Just be careful not to have too much slack in the front-to-back cords. They really shouldn't be any different than those in a chair. Or maybe they should even be a little tighter? I remember my bench being less taut than a chair seat when it was done and wishing that I'd done it a bit tighter.
New tip for chair seat weavers: stick your hands in a bowl of ice water for five minutes after each weaving session. Like at least a tray of cubes in a big bowl of cold water. Continuous emersion is not necessary---take them out when the pain is too great, then stick 'em back in when they've recovered a bit. But five minutes in all seems to be about right. At least for me. They will feel much better the next day.
