Oh what to put in the gaping wall system porticos on either side of the tv? Beautifully bathed in high intensity light, these display niches beg for an artistic rendering of stone, clay, pottery or. . . slip.
Solveig and Agnes to the rescue! Or is it Solveig Agnes to the rescue? In 1961, our dear aunt Agnes Veeder poured slip into a mold and crafted the vase displayed above. She passed away some years ago, but not before generously giving some heirs examples of her work.
Sister Solveig has closely guarded her treasure until now, but when the opportunity to display the vase with other Rolfsrud relics presented itself, she put aside selfish instincts. Carefully clothing it in bubble wrap, Solveig entrusted the heirloom to the U.S. Postal service and Wednesday it arrived.
Thank you so much, Sosie. Come visit it whenever you like.
