Mixed fiber scarves  
by Joan Edelstein
 

Edelstein Patina

Captivated by the visual and tactile potential of fiber, Joan uses new and recycled fabrics - except wool.  Can you believe a fiber artist allergic to wool?
  
While she happily uses new, right-off-the-bolt fabrics, her favorites are the ones she recycles - wonderful textures and colors from Goodwill, flea markets and
Mother's rag bag.  Wearable collages, they are stunning accessories for day or night.  Click here to see other themes and colors. 

Affirmation collages 
by Jill Krasner

 

Krasner Friends

Specializing in women's and friendship themes, Jill collages her artwork on canvas.  They measure 10"x10".

Wall pieces by Award-winner

Cynthia Miller


 Miller Sunset Sea

Fabulous enameled tiles assemble into groupings to make an Impressionist painter proud.
 
Powdered glass is fired onto copper tiles to make these jewel-bright pieces.  Multiple firings produce subtle texture.
Stand close and admire the abstract patterns, or stand back and see them shift into landscapes, foliage or the night sky.  A focal point for any room!
  
Cynthia won the top Niche Magazine artist award this February for her work in the category of metal.  We are very proud to be representing her.  Click here to see all of her work that we have right now.
