Knives as Art

Another unique thing we saw at the Salt Spring Island Saturday Market was Seth Cosmo Burton's hand crafted knives.

According to his site:
"Seth Cosmo Burton is an artist/craftsman following the finest of traditions. Seth develops each design with detailed care and deliberation, with great skill and his experience in many materials: woods, metals and minerals. The energy and love that Seth puts into each piece emanates from the medium and beyond."

You have to see them to believe.

Kuno Prey Bottle Brush Christmas Tree

I am looking for one of these. The Moma Store used to carry them but no longer. It is a simple, super modern Christmas Tree designed by Kuno Prey, a professor at the famous Bauhaus design school in Germany

It is made from industrial bottle brushes dyed green and then inserted into a bright-red wood pole, the tree looks great decorated or undecorated.

Here are some places with descriptions - click or click. If anyone knows where to get one, please add a comment or trackback. Thanks, John
