Love 1960s and early 1970s styles. Partial to Art Nouveau, Pre-Raphaelite, Victorian, Renaissance and Medieval art. On a continual quest for good-looking, comfortable vegan shoes.

Words I like:

"She was dressed, as usual, in an odd assortment of clothes, most of which had belonged to other people."

“I said "Somebody should do something about that." Then I realized I am somebody.”

New products on site: Kalamkari wall hangings

kalamkari.jpgI've just added some finely painted kalamkari wall hangings (under "products," then "paintings"). All have images of Hindu gods and goddesses--Rama and Sita, Ganesh, and Krishna. Two were painted by the artist shown here.

UPDATE: The two panels by Mr. Kumar have just sold; I'll leave the images up because they are so nice.
