Is there even a more appropriate companion to my Author copies of THE BALIKBAYAN ARTIST than a sculpture of a miniature balikbayan box?! Especially when the sculpture "Ukay-Ukay" was created by the marvelous Balikbayan artist Mel Vera Cruz! Ukay-ukay means https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukay-ukay . Follow along on the images below as we open the box together! This is exactly why I LOVE ARTISTS!
Plus, the box contains miniature books! On, quite aptly, the titles of HISTORY OF ART and HISTORY OF MODERN ART! I am so tickled! I also love the rest of the contents…unfortunately, all the dolls in my writing studio are now battling for outfits. Maraming Salamat, Mel! I shall treasure it all forever!!
