miss cookie's kitchen

what is it about colorforms.
shape, color simply combined
to make bodaciously dazzling arrangements.maybe it's all the time spent
with little ones.

or maybe it's because it's
where i started from.
with the original set
the real deal,
to miss cookie's kitchen
to the museum of modern art's edition
in the early '80's
now sold on ebay for a king's ransom
back to the reissued good old original set.

omg, miss cookie looks amazingly like me,
as does her kitchen, her dog and her cat.
i am miss cookie
warped in time '50's girl

in a state of eternal pretend tea
wearing aprons and pearls
with no intention to cook,
setting tables full of
zany plates and cups
that only the dog and cat see,
that nobody washes,
again proving
the indelible power of myth
endlessly reflected within
the prisms of the
human brain.











i fall asleep with
this book on my face
just like with Cakewalk.

so dreamy, it's sick.



my dining room:



palacio real, madrid:







abc carpet&home this spring i had the otherworldly and dizzying experience of walking in the door and didn't know where to look, up down or all around. chandeliers of every hue are suspended over the entire first floor, schmoozing with floaty fabrics in plié from the ceiling in reverance to savvily-placed fans. divine, decadent and definitely do-able for this girl, at least in her colorformed mind.


thus i present my own chandelier gallery:








kid-created chandelier:


and the ultimate condensation-proof
what-to-do-with-leftover-negative-space
template
after you punch out your colorform shapes-
iced tea glass
perfect for summer guests
on the veranda.



come closer,
try it.
love,
miss cookie
