A nice hinged Chinese cloisonné box

I'm terrible photographing whites

or perhaps to incorporate into something new

with just the right amount of whittling to make it smooth and useful

Of course this old heart-shaped lock would be perfect for locking to a bridge somewhere as a symbol of enduring love

Gloves: Terrifically Graphic Old Board and Wire Templates, A Pair (Size 9 1/2 & 10) folding knife whimsy A nice hinged Chinese cloisonnéI found a group of six of these old templates this week in Mainewhere gloves and mittens are certainly a necessity for a good chunk of the year!and find them so beautiful. These two were obviously for cutting glovesone sized 9 1 2, the other 10. Nice weight smooth board, which has acquired quite a good patina, with wire edging that shows a little rust, all to the good. I especially love the shapes of the wire trimmed cutouts for the finger holes,
