[$36.95, The Spoon Sisters]
I fancy myself an artiste, a careful sculptor or words and phrases and radiant strings of pure, written language (never mind all of my past typos). But my drawing abilities hover somewhere in the realm of nursery school flunkie. Seriously. As far as I'm concerned, the creator of the drawings above is Picasso.
But when I slip my poor excuse of a sketch into one of the above lamps, it becomes an instant hit with gallery curators and art collectors the world over.
Or at least looks cool on the end table in my living room.
