a close friend got a job illustrating a mail-order
catalog......she was asked to draw the
items.....since the art director thought that
photographs of the items was too "ordinary"....
the company quickly went belly up, after only
one catalog........i had seen this in "drawn"
form and discovered that it was in "warehouse
sale" for the defunct company.......now, it is
in a window, overlooking the back yard.....the
big glass "precious stones" are soo...austrian...
