Great Gifts to Give – Five From Etsy

 

Good Morning,

Tuesday is here, and the end of the month has sneaked up on me, where does the time go?

This morning there are four returning shops to check out with new items to look at, and as Christmas is fast approaching and there is something fun for Home Decor, too!  Keep going, there is a fun and spooky surprise at the end!

From Waterblooms

Tiger Lilies Original 14 x 18 Acrylic Water Color Painting

Description:  Tiger lilies is an original gallery-wrapped canvas acrylic painting with seven waterblooms. The acrylic background has three bold sections of dark khaki, brown, and muted yellow. Black vines gracefully circle large orange lilies and small orange and yellow buds. Each waterbloom consists of two layers, each hand painted (front and back), cut, and molded. This painting was inspired by my childhood memories of wild tiger lilies growing nearby my home. The painting is signed on the front and back. I hope my art brings you happiness.

Waterblooms provide a three-dimensional look to the art, making my style very unique.

Hope – Original 12 x 24 Acrylic and Watercolor Painting  

Description:  Hope is a white acrylic background with black acrylic leafy swirls. A pale blue shading is very lightly added around the canvas. Each waterbloom has multiple layers varying in colors, from green, blue, pink, turquoise, yellow, etc. I feel the painting’s stark colors of black and white oppose nicely the rich hues of the watercolor flowers, focusing the attention on the waterblooms- the true art of this piece. The painting is signed on the front and back.
 
Description: This is a smaller pendant, measuring 3.5 cm long and 2cm wide. It is made of copper wires and various beads. 
Description: This pendant has a truly interesting and unique stone, it is half hawk’s eye, half tiger’s eye, wrapped with copper wires. About 7cm long
It is sure to enhance any outfit.
For any additional information, do not hesitate to contact me.

 

Description: This is a hand painted and decorated pine sled with two penguins and an igloo. The penguins are sitting in the snow with presents all around them. The sled is a cheery holiday red with white runners. Glittering snowflakes add some sparkle. This versatile sled can be placed under the tree, hung on the wall, stood in a corner or placed any where you want some holiday color. This sled will become a treasured holiday decoration you’ll love for many years. It would also be an exceptional gift to give a loved one.
24 in x 10 in x 2 in

For the sled I used acrylic paint and three coats of varnish to ensure durability. The holly and the snowflakes are glued on. I added a red and gold tie for hanging.

Great effort has gone into accurately describing and photographing products, but please note color representation alters depending on individual screen settings.
Packaged with lots of care and love and will ship 1-2 days after payment is received.

I promised a surprise, I did.  This is so fun and such a unique and wonderful piece, that I just can’t help but sneak it in here.  While writing this morning I found this great item at Diana Ir’s shop.  Just in time for Halloween!

Ribcage Pendant – ON ORDER

Description: Ribcage pendant – can be made to order. The images are of an already sold pendant which I made last summer.
It’s a pendant that will definitely add a bit of spook and quirk to your look. perfect for fans of the macabre.

It is made entirely of a thicker copper wire that was wrapped with thin copper wire.
The pendant in the photos was about 4.5 cm long and 3 cm wide, but it can be made larger if requested.

Thank you for stopping by and having a look.

The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant day.

Five Great Gifts to Give Tuesday 3/06/12

Hello,

This morning I am pleased to bring you more new shops from Etsy.  As always five varying items are listed below.  Please enjoy and take time to notice something unique, pretty, or offbeat every day.

  This finest quality imperial jasper cab has dramatic green spiderweb patterns with hues of dull pink and browns. This gemstone reminds me of a forest floor, thick vegetation, moss growing on decaying branches and logs, an ever changing cycle where the old makes way and sustains the new; where nothing is ever lost and yet nothing remains the same.  
This pendant has been created with recycled fine silver(.999) metal clay. This pendant is completely handcrafted, hand textured, antiqued and polished.
Comes with Vaasvara makers mark. Sterling silver rollo chain is about 17 inches long. Handmade sterling silver S clasp. The cab is around 35 mm by 24 mm. The pendant measures about 5 cm by 3.5 cm. 

This a signature Vaasvara jewelry piece and you will love the stone and the beautiful setting it embraces.

Cuten Crafty Designs has this really cute Mom-is-Love 5 x 5 photo frame and Mother’s day is coming up! 



Description: 5×5 Black Photo Frame matted 3×3 made in a soft yellow flower bazzill cardstock embellished with roses, glittered words and a short poem written by me. All writing is copyrighted and not permitted for use.
Mom
You are a vision of Life
You are a vision of Hope
But most of all
You are a vision of Love

Hippy Wife Designs has listed this Charm Bracelet: Blue Blossoms and Berries Upcycled Vintage Floral Charm Bracelet 

Description: How gorgeous is this?!! Where to begin! LOL

This bracelet is made, by me, with an incredibly beautiful solid brass ornate vintage chain, vintage blue glass givre flowers, contemporary glass ivy leaves which are olivine on one side with an iridescent finish on the other that captures and reflects blue, purple, and green. There are both Czech and Swarovski crystals, Gutermann Czech glass snail pearls and sweet little vintage brass openwork butterflies. All elements were wire wrapped and added to this gorgeous chain by me.

It will come with an ornate vintage brass box clasp for the finishing touch once it is purchased and resized, if necessary, for its new mommy, whoever she turns out to be. :0)

Dainty Thorn has this Antique Vintage Bronze Octopus Light Pink Pearl Necklace




 This nautical inspired necklace features a antique brass octopus measuring 43x35mm, richly detailed and lovely, adorned with a grade A freshwater 10mm yellowish light pink pearl.
