4 Things We Love at Ashes & Milk

If Ashes and Milk was a physical store we'd probably be a little scared to go in it. Everything is very beautiful, very breakable and rather expensive... which can make us feel a little anxious we're going to trip into a display shelf or something. But since it is an online emporium we are free to pore over their lovely wares from the safety of our home.

If it's out of your price range, consider it like going to an art gallery - you'll see things of beauty and perhaps get a little inspiration. But if you feel like a little splurge for yourself or for a gift, it is a treasure chest of good, expertly crafted finds.

All of those are really lovely.

It is all quite beautiful, but as an artist I don't think the prices are justified.

I like how I collect pocketfuls of stones from the ocean whenever I go for a run, and I could take 40 minutes doing the same little clever design on them all for the cost of the art pen.

$80.

I'm sorry, but it really is ridiculous. I'll pay a pretty penny for art, had he made the rock I might be convinced to fork my money out. It's just a rock, guys. C'mon. Seriously...don't tell me the rest of you don't have rocks and pens where you live.

(I'm collecting my stones to make a shower floor out of eventually; however, I'll give this little challenge a-go this weekend and post back with a proud picture, or my tail between my legs. We'll see...)

For the record, I do agree the objects above are quite pleasing aesthetically.

"PORE"! Not "pour"!

:(

There have been more and more spelling, grammar and punctuation errors on this site of late.

Time to pull up your socks, AT!

And yes, Ashes & Milk have beautiful products.

I think these objects are gorgeous and, while expensive, priced reasonably. Kimber: according to your logic Pollock or Mondrian pieces are overpriced as they are just splatters or squares of paint that anybody could do, including you or i. The point is that we don't do these pieces. When it comes to art a large part of what you pay for isn't the work that goes into the piece but the IDEA behind it. Instead of looking at a piece of art and thinking "i could have done that" why don't you try looking at it and think about what new ideas it brings to you...
