I mentioned on my last post that I told myself I couldn't make any new side blogs until I posted that visual history of She-Ra and He-Man which was how I motivated myself to get it together and actually write it up, after having saved research links for two years.
Now, if I were a parent I might tell my kid "No more side blogs until you prove you can care for the ones you have*!", but, fortunately or not, I'm in charge and decided that since I'm going to get distracted by new hyperfixations anyway I might as well roll with it. (Besides, I've managed to return regularly to Poirot, and also to, like, knitting, over the course of years, so it's not like all new interests inevitably die and are forgotten utterly to the sands of time.)
So I made a design blog!![[tumblr.com profile]](https://www.tumblr.com/favicon.ico)
designobjectory is now the repository of all the teapots, design textiles, chairs and other furnitures, vintage jewelry, etc - art objects, that is - as well as, most relevantly, every antique and vintage light fixture I had posted to my regular Tumblr over the last six months or so: about a hundred.
I also spent like 6 hours yesterday making this collage for the header
I fell down the midcentury lighting rabbithole recently, in the course of researching this house we've bought and what to put in it; but my interest in art deco and art nouveau lighting, and most particularly Arts & Crafts, Craftsman, bungalow, Mission and Prairie style, predates that (I'm into the architecture and all the designs associated with those movements). So someone who just followed me on Tumblr might be forgiven for not noticing or remembering the others and thinking I was primarily interested in lighting, but it's more that the more lighting I look at the more lighting I find to look at (a few years ago I might even have said I was primarily interested in teapots and chairs). I'm interested in ALL the books in the Design Library (figuratively), I'm just not finished with this book yet, if you will, and it's harder for me to switch between different partial books more times. Anyway, I've gone to some effort to put other things besides just light fixtures on the blog in its first day of existence, so that people who clicked the link when I announced it on my main Tumblr wouldn't find it full of just light fixtures.
This way I don't have to restrain myself to posting only a certain number of things at a time, and I can spare my followers on Tumblr who are slightly less interested in design than I am. I'm having a lot of fun so far (in the last day, that is).
