• Naughty or Nice ?

    Imagine the surprise of your guest when you bring out this lump of sparkling coal for dessert! Berkeley-based artist Anandamayi Arnold’s sparkling lumps of black coal, otherwise known as “surprise balls” {stop it Alison!} are not quite what they appear to be. These delights are filled with goodies and treats. To get to the goodies you unravel the ball {made of ribbon and papier-mâché} and in the middle is the surprise. Where did I come across these devilish lumps? Anthology’s Winter Gift Guide, of course!

     So which were you this year…naughty or nice? I was both…in a very good way!

      :) I will tell you, Naomi, that I am consistently naughty every year because I prefer lumps of coal. They keep the fire stoked. It’s a WIN WIN. ;) Thanks for using the word *balls* you know I’m a fan. 

      Cool concept, those balls! Balls balls balls balls balls.

      Love the idea, but you are asking for lots of “balls” comments :)  Like, are balls ever a good surprise?  Or a surprise at all?  And if they are a surprise, you might have a bigger problem.  But really, I love your balls.

      I love these, but I’m cracking up at your preemptive Alison strike-too funny!
