Last post by hermes2015 - May 07, 2026, 06:15:41 PMQuote from: Dark Lightning on May 07, 2026, 01:11:41 PMI want to build an armoire in the Arts and Crafts style. I'm limited on height because of the size of my "shop". I could just dig into my IRA and buy another place to live, where the armoire would be a nice thing to have, as opposed to necessary.
Are there any particular Arts and Crafts designers that would inspire your design? My own favourite in the movement is Charles Rennie Mackintosh

No way I'd buy (if I had the money) for $2.3 million.
But $2,299,998.85 will interest some I feel sure.

I think it was in this book I read that youngsters who didn't want to get out of bed at 3am were carried into the chapel.
No wonder McCabe became an atheist.

The display case is mainly to consolidate the family collection of original, signed Lalique pieces, the most spectacular being an "Antilopes" vase. There is also a Picasso plate he painted in Madoura in 1948, and a Josef Hoffmann prism faceted crystal Art Deco vase.

Last post by hermes2015 - May 07, 2026, 05:33:19 AMI am also still here, but more as a lurker these days. I have been so busy with my design and art projects that I have not made any contributions here, although I check in most mornings to see the latest posts.

Religion / Re: Religion As Punishment
Last post by Icarus - May 07, 2026, 02:18:21 AMPreachers have access to canned sermons. Many of them have subscriptions. Said sermons are presumably written by skilled authors.
I suspect that AI could produce some real zingers.
