OooohlalaLA

My dear BunnyBro made us this artwork out of the 'big kiss' photo of Mr.B and me. Ain't he da bomb.:)



The three of us hung out at Borders all night a few nights ago...had me my caramel latte, happily skimming through mags like Giant Robot and Sculpture and more books on The New Urbanism and urban planning...Afterwards B and Bunny raced eachother (running) smack into one of those parking-lot snow mountains, no lie.;) The intention was a race to climb to the top but the snow was so soft that all that was heard was a double "OOOF!" as they both made bodyplants into the side. OH how I wish I caught THAT on video. hee. Boys.

By My Lover's Hands

When I returned from Florida, Mr.B had a quite grand surprise waiting for me. During the week and a half we were apart, he had told me he had been working on 'special projects' which he would not elaborate on verbally. This is a loose term for him, so I did not know whether he was creating a website, a graphic t-shirt, sorting change in ingenious ways or whathaveyou. But wow, I was unprepared for how wonderful a surprise it was.
A little background: when we first moved here, it was our first unfurnished house rental. On a very tight budget and short notice we lucked out in finding just enough furniture to make it work from thrift shops and the Salvation Army. The bedroom furniture at Salvation Army was less than ideal, the finishes cheap and glossy dark brown.. in my mind...I saw how it COULD be...if we just painted and worked on it one day...and we needed furniture...so we bought it. The headboard was the same glossy dark brown..but in my mind...it had so much potential.We talked about it from time to time, what could be done..how we could make it more exotic..in the styles we both longed for..Asia, India...
But we never got around to it. It was there. It functioned. I worked on my artwork, he worked on his work...and we just never did anything with our furniture/decor.
Anyway til NOW. He did it. He took the ball and ran with it,perfectly and further than I ever imagined.
A good friend had once gifted us with two antique carved figures from her family in Indonesia. We have kept them displayed beside candles in our room. Mr.B had the amazing idea to incorporate them into the headboard and sand and paint and antique the entire headboard to match them perfectly, with bits of reds and golds in 'weathered wood'. The result is better than the furniture I drool over in world antique shops, and it is as if we have a god and goddess, two praying protectors above our heads!LOOK!:
