up close and personal

Take a few minutes and see what I’ve been working on. I’m looking forward to getting back in the studio after my trip to New England and starting my 2012 series.

new line :: decoupage on display

We had a spectacular event in Evergreen over the weekend. I can’t thank my dear friend, Tonie, enough for all of her help. She’s the bomb! Our new line of glass trays went like hotcakes. We’ll be getting the trays online for those who would like to purchase for holiday gift giving.

mirror fair :: functional art

I came across a father and son owned mirror company: Mirror Fair, New York City. Such exquisite craftsmanship.

Cavallo Inc. was founded in New York City in 1911 by Stefano and Louise Cavallo. Using their European background and contacts, they established themselves as importers of fine antiques and reproductions.

Stefan Cavallo, their son, became president in 1950, and began manufacturing, with skilled artisans reproducing antiques from the Cavallo collection.

Stephen Cavallo, the third generation, is currently leading the company in a new direction, custom mirror fabrication, installation and glass molding.

under the sea :: buzz

We were featured by Konvaliia Designs out of New York with this beautiful combination of items from under the sea. Dana Lenec has a terrific array of photography and drawings in her store, so please be sure to check them out.

So many beautiful items, we’re exceptionally fond of the following:

  1. The sealife seashell pillow cover is spectacular. Ruth Arthur is the artist behind Designer Cushions out of New Zealand. This SHOP is a must see. Her prices are incredibly low for the amount of time that is put into each and every cushion cover. Her attention to detail is truly amazing.
  2. Non Fiction Tees, featuring tees with vintage illustrations. We can’t get enough of Ernst Haeckel!
  3. Don’t miss out on the steampunk shark necklace from Cosmic Firefly, you will love all the items they carry. I’m crushing on so many of their business card cases.
  4. And of course, we’re fond of our coral and sea urchin belt buckle too!
