Hot Summer Reds, Oranges and Yellows - Artisan Handmade
Posted June 11, 2020
Even though summer hasn’t officially arrived - that will happen on June 20 - it has been summer here in the Borderlands for several weeks now. And it looks quite warm in many areas in the U.S. So I made a call to artist friends to share some “hot” handmade items with me to be included in this blog. You’ll find LOTS of fiery colored items in red, yellows and oranges, beauties that can be worn all summer long. If something catches your eye and you want more information, please click on the item photo or the link below the picture to be taken to the artist’s shop. I hope you enjoy all the sizzling hot items!
Make it an Artisans Handmade Valentines Day!
Posted January 14, 2020
Valentine’s Day, February 14th, will be here before we know it with cupids, hearts, pink and red found everywhere. Across the United States and in many other countries around the world, candy, flowers and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. While there was a St. Valentine (the Catholic Church actually recognizes three saints named Valentine or Valentinus), the “day of love” was declared the day before the pagan celebration of Lupercalia, celebrated at the ides of February or February 15. Lupercalia was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus. Valentines Day was officially declared on February 14th by Pope Gelasius at the end of the 5th century in an effort to Christianize the Roman celebration, declaring Lupercalia as “un-Christian.”
Holiday Art Crawl - El Paso
Posted December 8, 2019
On December 14 and 15 is the first annual Holiday Art Crawl right here in El Paso. Four west side artists are opening their homes/studios for two days of shopping for unique handmade Christmas gifts for a friend, a relative, a loved one . . . or yourself. Guest artists will also be found at most of the homes. Food and beverages will be available (including my almost-world famous sangria at Nina Eaton's house). You can also register for a chance to win a door prizes at each location. So, mark your calendar and come join us at the Holiday Art Crawl!!
I'm thrilled that Nina Eaton has asked me to be the guest artist at her house. I'll have a wide variety of handmade jewelry from my Shadow Dog Designs shop, mostly earrings and necklaces, but a few bracelets as well. Everything is one of a kind with the exception of a few Christmas earrings. Nina will have a wonderful selection of El Paso photography and gift items. I have purchased several beautiful items from her over the course of a couple years, including, most recently, custom photo coasters of our sweet dog, Seamus (: Here's a link to her online shop: Nina Eaton Photography
