A spirited journey through the world of collectible artisan puzzles
Pairing craft cocktails with crafty puzzles
Boxes and Boos
Spooky season is upon us again! I love a well themed offering for both the Boxes and the Booze so I’m getting in the scary spirit and breaking out the scary spirits.
Bread and Butter
Milkfat (also known as butter fat) is present in milk as microscopic globules kept separate by their phospholipid and protein membranes.
Creature Feature
Three Hundred Sixty Five Million years ago, give or take, during a brief sixty million year stint known as the Devonian period (between the Silurian and Carboniferous periods) of the Paleozoic era, the first amphibious tetrapods made their appearance on Earth.
The Fisherman’s Wish
Japanese Karakuri Creation Group artist Yoh Kakuda weaves magical tales in wood. Each wonderful creation tells a story, but some are simply more magical.
Lighthouse Keeper
I have a fascination with lighthouses, and I’m not alone. There is something evocative about them, the lonely sentinel keeping watch, keeping an eye on the sea and offering a guiding light to the lost or weary traveler. The lighthouse guards us well, but, who guards the lighthouse?
Aquatic Bird Haniwa
Throughout the history of humankind we have been tied to the past, lavishly celebrating life with the ceremony of death and memory.
A Long Wait
It is not the premise that reality
Is solid. It may be a shade that traverses
A dust, a force that traverses a shade.
- Wallace Stevens
Cheshire Cat
"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don't much care where –" said Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat.
