New Fused Glass Pieces and Jewelry

I had promised some images of some of John’s new pieces.  The first image is of a business card holder that John created.  This is one of several that John has made and they have been very popular in the store.

I’m really excited about this next piece that John has created.  He has taken small fused glass pendants and alternated them with small dragonfly charms.  What’s really exciting about the piece is that John is creating his own necklaces.  With the help of Joanna at Crescent Moon Beads here in Eureka Springs, John has created necklaces of thin sterling silver wire, accented with dragonfly charms at the clasp. 

We are so pleased to share these new items with you and we hope that you’ll come by and see them.

The Johns 

New Pieces in the Store

John has been busy making some new jewelry pieces for the store in time for Valentine Diversity Weekend. Just wanted to let everyone know that they are here and as soon as I have time, I will try to get some picture taken of them. We have some great business card holders in stock in addition to new fused glass earring/pendant sets. Y’all come on by and take a look!!

Spring Diversity Weekend

Valentine Diversity Weekend

Chris Prouty

One of the artists whose work we carry in the store is Chris Prouty.  Chris is a museum exhibits director based in Topeka, Kansas.  His background is in fine arts and technical theater.  In addition to the graphite drawings that we have in the store, he also works in the mediums of acrylic painting and colored pencil drawings.  In his graphite drawings, aside from expressing the beauty of the human body, he attempts to juxtapose [the] complexity and texture [of the human form] with the potentiality of empty space.  A strong contrast of light and dark is also an important element in his works.

Eureka Gras Parade

The Eureka Gras parade was great yesterday!  The theme this year was “The Land of Oz.”  The weather was warm and melted most of the snow and slush off Spring Street.  I have included some images I took of the parade yesterday.  I have had to be judicious as I am close to 75% capacity for images on the site.  You will just have to come to ES and see one of the parades yourself.  The next one is for St. Patrick’s Day.

Fused Glass and Raku

I’m sitting in the store today waiting for the Eureka Gras parade to start.  John and I went to the Masquerade Ball up at The Crescent Hotel with our friends from Kansas City, Dahl, John, Jan and Patti.  It was such a hoot!  Started out at Local Flavor Cafe for dinner.  It was fabulous, as usual.  After the ball, we hit the Tiki Torch and Eureka Live to finish out the evening.

While we’re waiting for the parade, I thought I would post some images of John’s latest creations and an image of Pat and Lee’s Raku.
