"Pongáio" was the name my Aunt Mona gave to a long, green, cool room where we gathered at her home —
replete with comfy chairs, a rocker, sewing machine, sewing goods, beautiful beads, shelves, books, bibelots, photographs, odds'n'ends, mementos of a life, treasures —
a gathering of all the useful & 'useless' things that so make life a pleasure.

Can you believe how small and perfect this is?

These I've shown are jewelry, but Shay Aaron also makes ones that are "just plain" miniature food, if this term can be used for anything so perfect.

In the Arts

Very proud Grammie just has to show: Grandson premiering in the Arts — participating as a "colaborator" in a Yayoi Kusama exhibition!

The work is a revisit of her 2002 project, the obliteration room; now in Brasília.
