CRANE
Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes is a non-fiction children's book written by American author Eleanor Coerr and published in 1977.
The story is of a girl, Sadako Sasaki, who lived in Hiroshima at the time of the atomic bombing by the United States. She developed leukemia from the radiation and spent her time in a nursing home folding paper cranes in hope of making a thousand, which supposedly would have allowed her to make one wish, which was to live.
However, she managed to fold 644 before she became too weak to fold any more, and died shortly after. Her friends and family helped finish her dream by folding the rest of the cranes which were buried with Sadako.
The paper crane motif has since become associated with the peace movement.
Available from Corky Saint Clair -
Sterling silver crane pendant on a 50cm sterling silver chain $60AUD;
on an 80cm sterling silver chain $65AUD

APPLE
One of the most dramatic passages from the Bible can be found in the book of Genesis. Adam is lonely and can't find a suitable comapanion amongst all the animals in the Garden of Eden so God tells Adam to go to sleep and then fashions Eve from one of Adam's ribs. | Genesis III introduces the Serpent, "slier than every beast of the field." The serpent tempts the woman to eat from the tree of knowledge, telling her that it will make her more like God and it will not lead to death. She succumbs, and gives the fruit to the man, who eats also, "and the eyes of the two of them were opened." Aware now of their nakedness, they make coverings of fig leaves, and hide from the sight of God. God asks them about what they have done. Adam blames Eve, and Eve blames the serpent. God curses the Serpent and then curses Adam and Eve with hard labor and with pain in childbirth, and banishes them from his garden, setting a cherub at the gate to bar their way to the Tree of Life, "lest he put out his hand ... and eat, and live forever." |
| I recently sourced some apple pendants that evoke the drama of the Adam and Eve narrative. | |
| These sweet apples open to reveal a cavity, where any number of temptations might be stored for the Adam in your life. Apple pendants available from Corky Saint Clair $65AUD |

Everyone is happier and more relaxed in the shop when Blithe Field is playing.
You can get the album for free (if you are kinda mean) if you type "0" into the contribution field.

SOFT
I got these extra stylish hand made cushions from Bonnie + Neil - a local screen printing business based in Flemington. The Australiana motifs provide some visual relief from the endless squirrels and deers in my flat.

KILN
Straight outta the kiln - fresh Mcneil's porcelain. I know it just seems like graphic reproduction but each firing comes out a little different so it's alway interesting to open the kiln door and see what happened. These turned out extra fine - Natalie did a good job applying the image.
