A Collective of Internationally Themed Gift Shops

 

The CF (short for CrypticFragments, their creator's, pseudonym) World Emporium is a collective of seven separate but related Zazzle galleries, each focusing on gifts and design from a different region of the world, plus two "sister" gallery shops featuring designs from all the represented locations.

The project was begun by designer Tammy Winand in April 2008 to bring together her love of travel with her passion for producing beautiful creative arts. The shops continue to grow rapidly and are constantly adding new designs and gift items.

Each section below will introduce you to one of the galleries, telling you what you can expect to find there as far as design styles and product types.

Clicking on any of the images will take you directly to the product page, thus into that gallery, where you can see all the designs we have available.

***************************************************************************************************************************

Asia Major 

For those who love the colors and design styles of Asia, specifically the Far East of Japan and China or the spiritual nature of The Look of India, we have created Asia Major.

Asia Major features original graphic designs as well as imagery from well-known Asian masters whose work is now in the public domain.

A signature work from this gallery is Yun Shouping's "Magnolias": In association with Zazzle.com

Mediterranee 

Welcome to Mediterranee, my essence of the Mediterranean gallery. The designs and colors here will remind you of sweeping fields of lavender and sunflowers, fresh lemons, periwinkle skies, of terra cotta and painted stucco with bold cobalt window shutters. Come in, look around, enjoy a virtual vacation.

Mediterranee includes original graphic arts with French Provencal, Italian, Andalusian, Greek, Turkish and North African (Moroccan) influences.

Sample products include handbags like "Lavender and Sunflowers": In association with Zazzle.com

About CrypticFragments

I am an artist who gets around! The world, that is! My lenses strive to bring together those two passions. I love to create and promote regional art gift products, ethnic handicrafts, and to showcase design/decor styles which appeal to me, whether they are Native American, Asian or tropical.
I have a passion for blue glass, blue and white pottery, southwestern Native handicrafts, tribal jewelry, funky socks, and...pink flamingos!
I also happen to love cats.
