The surface of the earth is soft and impressible by the feet of men
:: Henry David Thoreau, Walden pg. 489
A reminder that what we do makes an impression and that we should be critical in our actions, striving to make wonderful and beautiful things.

The poet proceeds in full knowledge of the fact that 'this is not the way we do things around here'...to create is to break the silence of conformity. It is to make a noise. Poetry is war, not with one another, but with ourselves, and effort to expand the territory of the known; to make is to break the known so as to cross the border into the unknown. The desire to create is a desire to surpass, not as an utopian dream, but in order to make manifest a difference between how things are and the mere possibility that they can be otherwise.
:: Marcos Novak, 'The PanTopican and the Architecture of Noise' Center vol 9 / 2995 University of Texas Austin
It's HERE! After what seems like years (or actually has been years) we have the initial offerings from the ARNICA collection live and available. I hope that they inspire and delight your visual senses and entice your desire for beautiful things.
Now...A word from our sponsors (us, ARNICA, www.shoparnica.com, Miscellaneous Projects)
Arnica is a collaboration between Laura Coombs and Robert Lee Brackett III. We create Arnica objects through our interest in translating biological forms into rich materials on an intimately wearable human scale. We search for novel creations by combining digital technologies with traditional craft, merging digital organic modeling, 3D printing, and CNC machining with lost wax casting, rare metal alloys, and detailed hand finishing. At the core of Arnica is our shared curiosity to understand and transform organic form into material beauty.
Enjoy!
