The Art of Everyday Objects 1


I love  everydayobjects, used in daily life again and again...

 Sometimes I tend to forget to have a close look  at them because I'm so used to them but then again they're patient , they know I  will come back and say a nice hello...

They're used everyday,  have their own history over the years,  the material in its  own worn-out  way will last for even  more years, loyal companions,  always can be repaired, and that's  a very reassuring thought ...

 Like these sisal bags from Mexico,,  they're all different at the top , each village has its own way of "crocheting " the top of the bag,
these ones still have a smokey smell ,  even after all these years, as they were kept in the kitchen.



It's a fabulous  intelligent bag , strong, can hold thousands of things, simple to repair in case after years it needs some care, made from nearby natural material  and last but not least ....

so beautiful....






Nowadays one of them holds dried flowers for me...  this one is retired.....
