Vangi Cathcart "Morning Glory Pal" at the Joyful Jewel 7-6-13

"Morning Glory Pal"
Vangi Cathcart
Watercolor & Ink, 11" x 14" Framed
$120
         Every cat seems to love being in the flower bed.  Vangi Cathcart has captured the expression of pure innocence and play in this friendly feline.  Miss Priss seems to love the morning glories as she is resting gently just between the plants and within sniffing distance of a bloom.

Susan G. Luster - Ceramic Cup at the Joyful Jewel

Ceramic Cup
Susan G. Luster
4 1/2" x 3" diameter, ceramic

          Susan Luster designed this beautiful cup to be used!  And wouldn't it be an extra treat to have it frosty with lemonade or iced tea while lounging on your deck on a sunny morning - assuming we get a sunny morning soon.

Luke Jacks "Duckling Plate" at the Joyful Jewel 7-5-13

Duckling Plate
Luke Jacks
Pottery and Glazes
$60

Luke Jacks'  plates are made of white clays. The designs are created with underglazes, underglaze pencils and watercolors, then the piece is dipped in a lincoln clear. The plates are microwave, dishwasher and food safe if you'd like to eat from them. Or they can be hung as wall art.  This plate has the cutest-ever duckling "painted" on it.  I imagine it being placed in an honored spot on the mantle or hung the wall in your den, ready to bring a fluttery vibe to the place.

Janet Place "Sparkly Red, White & Blue Earrings" at the Joyful Jewel 7-3-13

"Sparkly Red, White & Blue Earrings"
Janet Place
Polymer Clay
$20
          Many people know Janet Place as a musician, well loved for her stunning voice and for her most-fun band, Great Big Gone.  Few perhaps know that she is also a fabulous jewelry maker.  Her pieces are as colorful as her music and as much fun to wear as her band is fun to listen & dance to.  Speaking of dancing, wouldn't these earrings swing and sparkle on the dance floor!

Lisa Garber "Origami Foxes" Earrings at the Joyful Jewel 7-2-13

Origami Foxes
Lisa Garber
Paper, Sterling Silver
$26

Lisa Garber has fashioned the most enchanting foxes from paper and sterling silver wire.  Here is what Lisa says about her art:   I believe no one should suffer for beauty and am always looking for ways to be kinder to people, animals, and the planet.  I use responsible materials for my jewelry as often as possible.  These include but are not limited to repurposed beads and paper, fairly traded stones, upcycled items, and 100% recycled sterling silver.  These guys are made from vintage paper and recycled sterling silver.  I think they are winking at you and inviting you to scamper on to whatever you choose to do.
