Mini Rave!

Every couple days I'll be doing a "mini rave". This will be a short paragraph and picture of an artist that I think is worth the time to go check out. This week we have Chantilly Lace Designs from Artfire.com.

The beautiful creations at Chantilly Lace are just breath-taking! They exude elegance and yet at the same time give of an girlish air. I would love to own every piece in her store. 
If you are the kind of girl that can't WAIT to get your summer dresses back out of the closet when the warm weather hits, this shop is for you! Hop over and take a look.


Beginning of Summer Sale!

We don't put alot of our sales up in our blog but I figured you may want to bookmark this one.

This is a GREAT deal for several reasons. The first being that our prices are already pretty low so extra sweet. Also, we offer FREE SHIPPING on all our jewelry; so you get free shipping and 10% off!

New Line of ASL Paintings

If you've taken a look at our Etsy shop recently, you will have seen the first in a series of paintings that I have started. The title of this painting is "Raining".

This series of paintings will all be based around a sign in ASL (American Sign Language). The whole project is inspired by my partners love for the language and the deaf community. She is not actually deaf herself but her passion for the language is remarkable. 

The darker muted colors in the background represent the vibrations of rain and how those vibrations might be to a deaf person 'pitter-patter' is to the hearing. It's my interpretation of the meaning of the word "raining" as a sign. 

Keep checking back with us as more paintings are finished. If you are interested in purchasing a print of this painting, go to our Etsy shop.

Fan Review: Authentic Robot Hearts

This is a fan review for an item in CatalinaCalderon's shop on etsy.com. One of her newest items are her Authentic Robot Hearts


These darling little tokens are 5 in. by 3in. and made from an assortment of "upholstery grade fabric". The are wrapped in wire and have a circuit board attached to the front (see picture). They come in three colors and have the option of adding a pin to the back so that they can attach to a purse, pillow, shirt or whatnot.

Each piece takes her about 3 hours of loving labor so they are a STEAL at $12 each.

I don't know exactly how I stumbled upon these cute little "gems" but they truly are unique and heart warming (if you'll excuse the pun). They brought a giant smile to my face when I first found them and I know they will bring one to yours as well. Stop in her shop (link above) and check them out for yourself!



New Youtube Video: CLAYMATION

A couple of days ago we did a youtube video on our youtube channel. It's a claymation video about two cute little monsters.
I don't want to ruin anything as it's only 45 seconds long but it's totally worth going to see. It was fun to make and only took about 2.5 hours to shoot. Well hop on over and check it out!
