Did you happen to catch a sticker price on this Raintree? Assuming it was for sale, of course!!


Great photo's under the circumstances.....


Looked like @Adair M was holding court.....coaching up the hoard?!?!

Very impressive quality.....the "light" at the end of the tunnel just got a little further away.....

Aw man, did I see some Bonsai quilts?! I would love to have one of them! My mom has always been an exceptional quilter, I am sure she would get a kick out of it.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos!

Congrats to you Adair! That was the one that caught my eye the most. Exquisite! And cheers to everyone else who obviously put in a lot of thought and skill to put together a show to rival any others. If the dog hadn't had surgery, I would've seen it in person, but at least the pictures are really really good. Thanks for posting!

Michael Ryan Bell's lecture on the history of shohin pots with some visual aids from Matt Ouwinga 's personal collection. Tofukuji, Heian Koran, Yusen, Chinese and Japanese antiques. The value of the pots on that 8' table is ridiculous... there should be armed guards on either side of it.

 

[JudyB]

I want them.

 

[Dav4]

I want them.

Me, too. I got to hold the pink tofukuji... more expensive then Adair's Tesla.

My workshop trees... the olive is after the workshop and the jbp is before before being worked.

Thanks for posting this. Now I'm jealous!

OMG. really. I am obsessed with that tall cascade in the last photo.

 

[Gary McCarthy]

The one on the left...more vase than you would like...but.....I think I want it....I know I want it...did you catch a glimpse at it's cost? Any point under a grand would seem reasonable/doable.....but I know it's more!!!!

Don't know what I would do with it besides stare at it on a shelf....I could live with those limitations....
