Obituaries

Had illy coffee yesterday. Just two days before that, the founder was alive. Was surprised to see Late Liz Claiborne with big glasses so clash with the image I had of a live woman as a clothes designer.
Seattle Espresso that served coffee, had a tip holder in the form of a fish with opened mouth. The overall shape was more of a paperweight. Very unlike the expected spindle shape(No good to hold any tips). Takes me back to a question I have: what is an elephant? The question arose from a proposed answer as to how to sculpt an elephant. Questions in Queue: Why an elephant? How do people make things? How do skill and design interact?
