Ai Design Jewelry

I just had lunch with Aileen, who makes the jewelry like the earrings above.  She has designed the coolest new bracelet.  As soon as I have one in stock I will post is on here.  I think it is amazing how she is constantly coming up with new ideas.  She has interchangeable earrings, convertible bracelet/necklaces, pocket necklaces, all sorts of imaginitive things.  Fantastic.

We have our first print here at the gallery.  We usually only have original works, but so many people wanted this painting that we decided to carry a couple of limited edition signed prints of it.  The painting is by John Hinderliter and is called “No Refunds”.  Ain’t that the truth.

More pictures of the perfect wedding gift

I’ve had so much response to this I thought I’d show a few more pictures of Marlene Boyle’s pinched wedding pots.  She can also make them for anniversaries or for a new baby.

Very cool wedding gift

Wedding season is upon us!  Marlene Boyle brought in this great wedding pot.  It’s a sawdust pit fired, burnished, pinch pot that she fires with fern (which is the Japanese symbol for long life and family prosperity).  She writes the couple’s names and wedding date on the pot along with a saying like “we must have delight”.  They are one-of-a-kind and absolutely beautiful.  A steal at $110, they take about 2 months to complete.
