Ahh.. glad to hear it! Just a heads up... I will soon be making a Watch Box that will coordinate with this. Of course, with the Inkwell, you can designate anyplace for the borrowed watch to end up. This will be a nice companion piece. Best part is, this new Watch Box can be used to make things appear inside, or you can steal away items locked within. It can also be used for a coin in ball of wool, or any number of other applications.
This is one of the first ones that I made for one of my own Inkwell customers (before I made the run for Stevens Magic). The new run of Watch Boxes will be very similar.

Hide your eyes john wills. Michael's work just keeps getting better and better which leads to increased jealousy and wallet content draining. Hide your eyes. Hide quickly.

Then, just when I get a flash email from Stevens that he had a few of these beauties for a special price, my wife asks me to tell her what I want for my birthday. A coincidence too good to pass up!

Just a point of clarity...
The Inkwell pictured above is one of two I made for private collectors prior to making the arrangement with Stevens Magic. The item sold through Stevens is pictured here. They are very similar, but with some differences, notably the style of the feet and the fact that the lid has a second tier on the newer version. I also believe the interior mechanism is better and quieter on the newer version. I got that flash email, too. The sale price is a steal.

Both renditions are stunning. This really is one of your most beautiful pieces Michael. It is simply elegant on every level.

Let me give you a couple recipes that I made this weekend. I didn't get any photos, but you can imagine how these look.
Halloween Salad 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise 1/2 cup sour cream 1/4 cup sugar Mix well and set aside. In a large bowl.. 1 bunch of broccoli cut into small florets 1 head of purple cauliflower cut into small florets 1/2 head of orange cauliflower cut into small florets 2 carrots, thinly sliced 1 small red onion, chopped 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded 1 3 oz container of bacon bits, or 6-8 strips cooked crisp and crumbled Be sure to cut veggies into small enough pieces that it can be eaten easily. Toss veggies with dressing and refrigerate for 3-4 hours to marinate (or til the next day). This has all the fun colors of Halloween, and it tastes great, too! Fried Chicken & Harvest Fruit Salad 2 cups cooked chicken cut up (I used fried chicken left over from our magic club picnic... just the meat) 1/2 apple, chopped 1/2 pear, chopped 1 stalk celery, chopped 1/2 cup Walnuts, chopped Mix with a little squeeze of lemon juice and just enough mayo to pull it all together. I had this on a sandwich using Catherine Clark Brownberry bread. http://www.brownberry.com/products/slice......al-wheat OK, both salads are mayo-based, so if that's not your thing then I'm sure a lighter alternative should work... but these are dang good!

Michael, the recipes are great, but your post lacks flavor without the pictures. I think to defend your reputation you may need to remake the dishes, photograph them, post them, (and then eat them of course).

It has been a long day, and I am tired, but I took time out of my day to make myself supper AND photograph it for you. I hope you're happy, because it was a real effort.
And now something else to chew on... They used to say, "Captain Crunch stays crunchy, even in milk." But if a two year old pours a box of it in the toilet, it pretty much turns into yellow quicksand. They don't tell you that, and I just want to know why??

I don't know. Maybe it's the milk... because... if said two year old happens to dump it into a hotel toilet, it floats marvelously and refuses to disappear even after repeated flushes.

Fair enough lin, just please, don't post any pics.
But thank you for your pic Michael. Good to see that the artisans slum it up once in a while like the rest of us.

Lin, I think we are uncovering a conspiracy manned by two year olds.

This is C.J.
We lost him on 9/11 this year. He was 16. We got him when he was 4. Sweetest dog ever.
