The lust list

This listing was provoked by a recent visit to Gallery Funaki, when I saw the incredibly beautiful Helen Britton ring Katie Scott (gallery director) was wearing. I wanted it. I wanted it bad.

And thus the ‘lust list’ was conceived.

I have been lucky enough to satisfy a few of my jewellery and object lusts:

• David Neale : aster pendant
• Katherine Bowman : sapphire ring
• Katherine Wheeler : object
• Bridget Bodenham : gold handle cup (from Mr Kitly)
  

  new cup of awesome

Though my as-yet-unattained lust list is longer (some more realistically obtainable than others):

• a Suzi Zutic ring [website; e.g.etal page; Pieces of Eight page; Black Finch posts]
• a piece from Raymond de Zwart’s ‘Astrolabe‘ series [Black Finch; Pieces of Eight]
• a piece by Joungmee Do [e.g.etal page]
• a Kiko Gianocca silver-plated wood pendant [Gallery Funaki page; my post]

This is only a short list really, for it is only the pieces that I LUST after. There are, of course, many many artists’ work that I love and adore and admire and appreciate; some I want to own too, but not quite in the ‘lust’ category.

And I also know there are bzillions of artists I haven’t even been introduced to yet, who may one day make it onto this listing … how very exciting!
