Taking Things Seriously

takingthings.jpg

Found via lovely Camilla Engman (my favorite name: Camilla) the book Taking Things Seriously is a wonder cabinet (kunstkammer!!) of seventy-five objects that have been invested with significance and transformed into totems, talismans, charms, relics, and fetishes.

And, speaking of taking things seriously, I’m in a serious mood.  School has started back up. I’m taking a class on the material culture of revolution, the history of glass and the history of textiles. Delicious.  More later!

    Many good posts — and designs to consider. I couldn’t agree more about your favorite name. =)

    Oh, your classes sound great! I love all the new things to start up in autumn, learning things you’ve wanted to for a long time. Enjoy! (and tell me more! curious :0) )
