In this issue

Eleven objects, three rooms.

Everything here was placed in the same apartment on the same evening — the mantel, the table, the floor under the tree.

On the mantelVessel candles — cast stone, soy wax, a lid

On the tableSculpted wax and tealight holders

Under the treeGifts

Four o'clock

The light goes early. These are for after.

Two objects that do nothing all afternoon and then, at the hour the lamps come on, do the whole room.

Drag the sun.

The Flurry

On the side table, unlit. A pale, intricate object; you would not look twice. Lit. The snowflakes go up the wall, and none of them repeat.

The Grove

A ring of white trees on the coffee table, waiting. One tealight, and the forest is on the ceiling.

Under the tree

The small things, laid out.

Four gifts on kraft and linen. Touch a point.

Closer

Three surfaces you can almost feel.

Sugar gloss, wool, frost. Move the loupe.

The Peppermint, Candy — glossy red-and-white wrapped-sweet wax candle on a wooden kitchen counter — Sugar gloss
Wax, finished hard enough to read as candy until the wick gives it away.

The Sweets — felted wool peppermints and caramels on kraft paper with red-and-white twine — Wool
Felted by hand, slightly uneven, a little larger than life.

The Pinecone — snow-dusted stone pinecone candle on a kitchen sill, brownstones in the snow outside — Frost on stone
The snow is cast with the cone; it does not melt.

Give the wait

A gift that arrives twice.

Every object in Snowfall is made to order, so none of them can be under the tree on the morning. The certificate can. The object follows when its edition is made — numbered, signed, crated.

How a First Edition happens

Four steps up to the door.

Nothing is made that no one has asked for. The wait is part of the object.

The edition opens
Each object opens for pre-order with a closing date and a minimum number of orders.
The minimum is reached
Production begins, and each object is made to order, in sequence. If the minimum is not reached by the closing date, every pre-order is refunded in full.
Numbered and signed
Every object in the edition carries its number and signature before it leaves the studio.
Arrives after the snow
Crated and insured for the journey. No date is promised before the edition exists.
