I created this original paper sculpture of a brown bear in a forest by painting heavy duty watercolor paper with acrylic paint and then cutting and layering each piece to create depth. The result is a whimsical, one of a kind piece that would look great in any room, but especially in a woodland nursery or a cabin.

The colors would really pop in a white shadowbox. (not included) See photos for ideas for matting and framing. It has an approximate 1/8″ white border which can be trimmed if necessary for framing.

Wedding Wine Glasses For The Bride And Groom

Wedding Wine Glasses For The Bride  And Groom
Wedding Wine Glasses For The Bride  And Groom Wedding Wine Glasses For The Bride  And Groom Wedding Wine Glasses For The Bride  And Groom Wedding Wine Glasses For The Bride  And Groom Wedding Wine Glasses For The Bride  And Groom

This is a set of two (2) mint green wine glasses that have been painted with deep red and white roses. I attached a sprig of tiny white seed beads to the stem of each glass with a white ribbon. What a lovely set of glasses for the wedding toast. And then a cherished keepsake from the wedding day. These would be a unique bridal shower gift. Or treat yourself, you deserve it.

These goblets were painted with non-toxic acrylic enamel so they are perfectly safe to use. I heat set the paint so it is quite durable. The manufacturer of paint states ‘top rack dishwasher safe’, I would highly suggest gentle hand wash, just as you would any other special piece you may have. The ribbon is not secured so just untie it to remove before washing.

Image via CrunchBase

Good Morning,

Tuesday is here and Halloween is fast approaching, which means the Holidays and Family Fun is right around the corner.  

Let’s see if we can’t knock an item or two off that shopping list with some cool gift ideas from the shops on Etsy.

From: Emily Andrews

Guillotine – Acrylic Painting (Print)

DescriptionThis is a print of a detailed section of a 2011 painting I did on canvas with acrylic, pastel, and ink. Though the painting is not completely finished, I find that this section in itself can be considered a separate painting. The full title of the painting is “If my Thought Dreams Could be Seen, They’d Probably Put my Head in a Guillotine”, which is a line from a Bob Dylan song. The painting is 5ft x 6ft and it portrays a statement on the treatment of women in modern society and how their looks are valued more than their thoughts and opinions. The print is on glossy photo paper and is 8.5in x 11in.
Other sizes are available for every print. 

 She also has some super cute Jewelry

Yellow Gold Glass Beaded Butterfly Necklace 

Description: A glass beaded necklace with an elegant butterfly pendant, featuring bronze-gold and transparent yellow glass beads. The butterfly pendant is metal and gold in colour and measures 3cm long and 3.5cm wide. The full length of the necklace is 44cm and it has a spring ring clasp.

From: Sues Arts

Gorgeously beautiful and unique rings in antique bronze.

CUSTOM ORDERS WELCOME

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.
