Wood for Earth Day

To celebrate Earth day...the trees are finally here , set in "antique brass' because silver just didn't work. I love the warmth of the brass , the chains are long, and I found cute little leaves to use as a garnish.  The Made of Wood show opened today.  In the Window on Broadway we have a fabulous wood worker, Wayne Muma. he has made some beautiful pieces, spalted maple, ebonized ash, apple.wood. Slide your hand across the fine surface, cast your eyes over the elegant lines, if they are not the right size of course he'll do custom orders.

Are these Easter Eggs?

I just made a few of these lovely little glass tree beads, my contribution to the Beads on Broadway anniversary celebration...which by the way we are calling the "Sassy Celebration " It is really to spread the word about the collaboration of Victoria Kirk from Sassafras with Beth Grant and her wonderful beads. Inspired by Beth's beads in 4 colour ranges Victoria has designed some lovely pieces, and Beth's been busy making beads. Altogether many little packages of jewellery are speeding across the country...to Winnipeg, PEI, and of course to Dragonfly Arts on Broadway.

Dragonflymania

Yes, they won't actually hatch for a few months now (even though it certainly feels like summer) the Dragonflies are flocking to the shop. These lovely brown ones are gracing the front of Jaroslav's mugs. More to come...

Vintage Post Card Cards

Rachel Clark Hall, our recycling queen, has just brought in some gorgeous cards that she has created from her Great Grandmothers Post card collection. On the front an old picture of Orangeville and the back looks like you could mail it. I placed them with Kaarina Dillabough's cool postage stamp necklaces, to complete your vintage post card experience.

Scarey or Inspired

Ok, I just happen to love Carmen's new works. She has brought in some wall angels, very cool, and these tins, incorporating animals and porcelain heads. The thing is, some people has been responding strongly to them in the opposite way. hmmm I guess that art does provoke strong feelings!

Aquamarine

One of the loveliest colours, soft sky blue, mixed with a hint of ice. Aquamarine is the birth stone for March. Beth has some made some beads for our Broadway Bracelet, which is also wonderful as the Broadway Necklace... Robin has put together an interesting display with cut aquamarine stones.

Something New Two

Our friends at Metallic Evolution have created a line of beautiful serving utensils. Stainless steel. Leaf motif. Could they be prettier? and who doesn't want a pickle fork? an olive spoon, or a cool coffee scoop?
