friday field trip (from the sketchbook).

november 2009

berkeley, california

i grew up in a chinese restaurant and there was always a giant tin of fortune cookies there. this shape is so familiar and comforting to me. and i loved the idea of the hidden message inside. like secret words from far beyond that would somehow make your life better.

a fortune + a cookie = the perfect food

santa wants a cookie.

the elves have been busy in the shop making these hand painted cookie plates for santa. they know how GRUMPY he gets when there are no cookies for him. so remember to leave him a big stack of cookies if you want any of the GOOD presents !

you can get one at the san francisco museum of craft + design or at my shop here.
