A comfortable, soft sweater for my online tesching
I bought this sweater so I would feel warm in my home office when I teach online in the evenings. It gets chilly in the winter since it is right next to a large set of windows. This sweater exceeded my expectations! It is soft wool, has nice pockets for my reading glasses and is quite long so I feel nice and warm. The teal color is lovely and the knitting is very nice. A added bonus was that it was on sale.
Elegant, beautifully made and culturally rich.
This hammered silver band engraved with the Balinese aksara script for the cardinal directions, North South, East and West is absolutely magnificent. The cardinal directions, firmly rooted in Balinese and Javanese culture and tradition have a place in everyday life in that part of the world, and if one is not familiar with these traditions they are well worth looking in to. A visual reminder of the importance of balance and harmony in daily living as represented in the engraving of the letters for the four directions, this outstanding ring by Nyoman Ariawan is a testament to the beauty and elegance of traditional Balinese silverwork.
