welcome our fuzzy overlords
Did I say something in that last post about snow lions?
This Friday and Saturday, November 20-21, the Asian Art Museum Store is honored to host a trunk show featuring work from the Tibet Artisan Initiative and Dropenling Handicraft Center.
There is much more to be seen: supple leatherwork, traditional weavings, painted wood, jewelry, dolls and yaks, all of it fascinating work produced by artisans in Tibet in order to keep the folkways alive…but as you can see, I only have eyes for the felted wool cats. Will someone please help me make up my mind? Tiger or snow lion?

Please tell me that out-of-town members will be able to call and order a snow lion…?

I could not resist the beautiful snow lion and now I am reaping the rewards of its fearlessness and unrelenting cheerfulness. He pretty much makes up for the dog that my landlord says I cannot have and that says a lot.

I ordered one from their on line web site as I couldn’t make it to the trunk show. It’s going to be the Guardian of my apartment and chase off all the evil spirits. I can hardly wait – and thanks for letting me know about it and the Tibetan web site. Great art, wonderful cause.
