treble clef and bass clef Christmas ornaments

3 Star of David ornaments with dove of peace
hand painted and one of a kind
note: each one is reversible (that is why there is a side-by-side view)
© 2012
available through the holiday season in my Etsy shop
also available year-round in my Artfire shop (if they haven't sold)

As with the Hanukkah ornaments I talked about last time (link to that blog post HERE), I actually made them in 2011, but I am listing them for the first time on-line this year.

These are popular with my musician friends! You can tell they are slightly different from one another. I have set aside a few for our tree too. I really like how they look on a tree (and perhaps I will show you soon).

They are painted with acrylic paints (each have a coating of poly to protect them).

holiday art shows (2012)




Holiday show season is upon me and this is one show that I'm in this year (note that the opening night is this Friday, November 16, from 5 - 7 pm (includes refreshments and live music).

One other holiday show that I'm in has a first-time-ever Black Friday sale: 20 percent off for November 23 - 24 at Valley Artisans Market, 25 East Main Street, Cambridge, NY. The gallery is only making a 5 percent commission on these sales, so it may never happen again. If you want to enjoy a sale at this venue that is not a "seconds sale", this would be the year to try it. 

I will also be running a sale or two in my on-line shops around that time... stay tuned

Spirit of Winter

Most of 2012 is the year of the Chinese water dragon, a year marked by sudden and unexpected events and changes. For me, that's an understatement! They haven't been pleasant events and have impacted me and every close family member in my life. It has been overwhelming, a juggling act that it is teetering on failurse at every moment, without a shread of normalcy in anything: work, home, relationships with family and friends, events. Phone calls with my mother often begin with "The water dragon strikes again!"

That's how the Chinese year/astrology is effecting me. Now for those of you into western astrology, I have a Uranus exact square Pluto on my native sun (also exact) most of this year. What does that mean? Well, it means sudden and unexpected events and changes. More of the same, apparently. So, does that mean I get a double whammy since both eastern and western seem to match in this case? It would seem so.

Anyway, since I am unable to get much work accomplished, I thought I'd have a sale of some designs from the past. Enjoy!
