Time

Time... No one ever seems to have enough! Each of the items I'm featuring this week represent a great deal of time, patience, attention to detail and skill. I picked the theme time, because last week one of my Pablo y Pucci Calavera trinket boxes was selected to be published in a book called "Slow Handicraft: 80 Handmade Creators and DIY Hot Tips", written by Affa Log and published in China by China Light Industry Press. It is due to be published sometime in June 2007. I'll keep you posted on the details and in the meantime, take a moment and enjoy this week's picks.

The Slow Food International Organization - Slow Food is a non-profit, eco-gastronomic member - supported organization that was founded in 1989 to counteract fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world.
