A little about me 

I live in the Hamptons with my sweetheart, my English Bulldog and Persian cat, guess I like squished faces! We live in a small home on the outskirts of the Hamptons,across from the bay, in the marsh! The wild life and views are beautiful, the bay flooding and the mosquitoes not so beautiful. I call it the land of pestilence! I even have a locust weathervane! Tics, mosquitoes, mice, snakes, gorgeous birds and deer but I'm deadly afraid of snakes and hesitate to walk in the yard. The views and sunrises are wonderful though and in general I love it here. I have a reconverted porch that is my studio with an outside entrance so people can come and not interfere with the comings and goings of our home. I sell solely through the internet these days. Here's a picture of my little studio.

Stained Glass On Ebay 

Sweat Shop Chinese Import.

I find eBay a wonderful place for my stained glass works. Unfortunately there's a lot of low quality glass on the eBay scene. I am not at all opposed to listing other stained glass artisans here. I've spent a good deal of time on Ebay searching the category and will post them when they arise but the glass I have seen there is sweatshop glass, no original design nor any quality. The beauty of the glass comes from light refraction. The glass is inexpensive and mass-produced. Some sellers even post pictures of the sweatshop workers. Shame on them! I started an Ebay business as I bought a piece of stained glass from Ebay and thought they needed some competition and quality work on the site. Fortunately there are enough discerning buyers that I do very well on Ebay and have made many wonderful friends among the buyers and sellers, it's really a pretty great community!

Links To My Best Ebay Friends and Others 

Paintings of Friends Works

There are many great and talented Ebay artists. There's so much to see in the self-representing art category, many get lost in the shuffle and Ebay puts the full-featured ahead of what's selling at the moment, so a lot of great art goes unseen. I am going to attempt to list my favorites and add to the list as time and discovery permits.

This painting was done by Blenda Tyvoll, with her consent I reproduced it in glass also.You can see it below. She sells this print in her eBay store.
Blenda drew some apples for me to do also, to go with the pears, I hope to get to it soon.

See Blenda's and many other Ebay fellow artists and friends below.

Stained Glass Rendition

It was great fun to do a collaborative work with another Ebay artist, as I think of myself much more as a mechanical artist than I do as a fine artist.

J. Nilsson
Charming children's art, whimsical and bright, a pleasure!
Amy Weber
I attempt to make art that has some value in this world beyond a monetary one-to make art that does something about the current problems/issues in the world. If all else fails I like to make work that illustrates the beauty and simplicity of a centered connection with that which is eternal. My miniature paintings are a sort of representation of my internal being/soul/mythos. In a world that seems chaotic and unstable these tiny paintings almost create themselves
Pootinella
The art itself decides what it wants
and I go along for the ride.

The media I use are mostly
acrylic, ink, various kinds of
watercolor and pencils;
however, I also do oil paintings,
and like to mix my media;
so I also use glitter, sequins, fabric, metal, and more!

I never tire of experimenting!
Singing Color
I work in many mediums; pencil, pen and ink,watercolor, acrylic, collage, pastel, and mixed media. But don't limit me to these. I may branch out any moment now. Whatever makes me feel like dancing is my medium for today
Jenis Art
Beautiful landscapes, animal, portraits. Welcomes commissions.
Salswinge
I am a full time professional artist with a passion for people and patterns. Whether I work in stark monochrome or wild expressionistic colour, in miniature or full sized, my work is passionate and full of thought.
Frank Gallery
The bond between an owner and their animal is unlike any other. It is said that love is, above all, the gift of self. Ever loyal, our pets touch us with that very kind of unique love, one that is unconditional and enduring. The memories that they create remain with us forever throughout our lives.

A hand-painted pet portrait is a special way to portray the true personality of your companion, and honor them in the manner they deserve. I am proud to be able to deliver to my clients quality works of art that are affordable and that they will cherish for decades to come.

Castle Arts Studio
I believe art should come from your soul in order to speak to the viewers soul... all my works are one of a kind -I never do the same work exactly the same.

I work in a broad range of mediums- oil, acrylic, colored pencil, watercolor, pen and ink, mosaics.

I have a vast subject range -landscapes, wildlife, pets, figures/portraits, fantasy, abstract, surreal art. However, my favorite is the inspiration that comes from my dreams-dreamscapes if you will...they go from the beautiful to the bizaar...
Ivan Chan
What you see in Ivan Chan Studio is the fusion of inner and outer realities, the evidence of prayer and communion with the greater whole of which we are all a part, in the form of art.

Quality Art by Gail Hogan
Incredible cats!
Susan Barton Studio
Susan Barton's art doesn't fit into any one style or genre. In fact, she has been known to solely give way to her creativity. Allowing the time and moment to describe what she sees and feels, her paintings and illustrations become conduits of her visions and perceptions. The painting itself is allowed its own breath of life and reflection without labels. This liberation of her art describes her inability to be categorized artistically by the art world and art critics. She, through her art is...art escaping confinement.

Stained Glass Work Shop 

a short description of the stained glass process.

Create a pattern, sharp curves should be avoided for beginners unless you have a glass saw. A few copies are necessary to lay out on and to work from. A firm strong paper is advised.
Cut your pattern out with pattern shears as they allow space for copper foil and lead. Make sure you number your pieces and add color and direction lines.
Transfer your pattern onto clean glass by either tracing around it or glueing it to the glass so that you can cut out each piece.
Wearing googles, hold the cutter as in the photo above, without pressing but allowing the weight of your arm to rest on the glass. You want to position your body that you can see your lines and have free motion in your cut. It is very important to never go over your line twice, but to bring the cutter towards you in one motion. You should hear your cutter sing on the glass. As soon as your score line is completed, place your thumbs up on either side of the line, not allowing the glass to contact the web of your hand and press out and down.
Place your cut piece on your pattern and continue until all pieces are cut.
Fill your grinder with water as directed on grinder and clean all edges, making sure that your glass is cut to pattern for neat and thin soldering lines. Dry and place back on your pattern.
Foiling needs to be very neat, place the foil evenly on the glass and overlap about a 1/4 of an inch. You want overlapped edges towards the center of the piece and not on an outside edge. Roll the foil onto the glass so that there are no wrinkles and it adheres well to the glass.
With horseshoe nails or a straight edge, make sure your glass pieces are tacked into a tight position on your layout pattern so that they don't move during the soldering process.
Flux the copper foil and tack your glass pieces together, turn and do the same on the other side. When completed go over your soldering again to form a bead, build strength and remove any air bubbles. Do the same on the front. Add a strong bead along the outside edge for strength. You can put a brass edge on the finished piece, u came or leave it as is. If it requires more strength, a frame will work also.
Clean your glass art work with a neutralizing agent, brass wire cloth and dish detergent.
You can then place a copper or black patina on your lead lines and rewash in order to insure continuity of color as lead oxidizes. A glass wax and buffing minimizes oxidation.
Good luck, if you need help, feel free to contact me through my email on ebay.

International Symbol of Peace, Health, Fidelity and Prosperity

Origami Peace Crane

This origami stained glass crane, of original design and hand-crafted in my home studio in the Hamptons, is also known as Sadako's Peace Crane or "tsuru" in Japanese. It symbolizes peace and long life. The origami crane is often given as a gift to wish ill people a quick recovery, and as a wedding gift or decoration as cranes mate for life and are devoted in all seasons, sharing equally in nest building and caring for their young. Throughout Asia, the crane is a symbol of peace, happiness and eternal youth. It is said a thousand folded paper cranes make a wish come true.

The origami crane has become an international peace symbol in recent years as a result of its connection to a young girl, Sadako Sasaki, who was two when the atom bomb was dropped in Hiroshima. She collapsed when she was ten during a sports event and was diagnosed with Leukemia, the "Atom Bomb Disease". Her friends told her the legend that anyone who folded a thousand cranes would be granted a wish. Sadako hoped for a recovery in her courageous battle with Leukemia and began folding them. Sadly, she died before completing her task. Her faith and courage inspired her friends and classmates to complete her task and to build a memorial to the innocent children, who were victims of the atomic bomb. Each year, children and adults from all over the world fold a thousand cranes which are placed at the foot of the monument where the inscription reads:

This is our cry, this is our prayer, Peace in the world."

These stained glass origami cranes measure seven inches high and twelve inches across, and they can be hung. Blue usually signifies peace, white for long life and good health and red is usually used for wedding decoration because of their association with fidelity, prosperity and longevity. A gift tag will be provided with each crane if you email me to let me know which you'd like: 1.) "This is our cry, this is our prayer, Peace in the world." 2.) Wishing you a quick recovery and a long and happy life. 3.) Wishing you a long and happy marriage and much prosperity.

The crane is possibly the oldest bird on earth. Today seven of the fifteen species are threatened with extinction. For more information about captive breeding methods, how you can help, write to:

Knitting for Peace by Kiriko Shirobayashi
available on Amazon

Book Description
All across America, people are knitting for peace. In yarn shops and private homes, churches and synagogues, schools and even prisons, they meet on weekday evenings or weekend afternoons to knit afghans for refugees, mittens for the homeless, socks for soldiers, or preemie caps for AIDS babies. The tradition goes back as far as Martha Washington, who spearheaded knitting efforts for the soldiers of the Revolutionary War, and has seen a recent flourishing in what is nowadays called "charity knitting," "community knitting," or "knitting for others." And whether it's for world peace, community peace, or peace of mind, today's various causes have the common goal of knitting the world into a better place ... Read more
Art For Critters
What do you get when you combine talented artists with charities in need? Art for Critters.

Artists from around the world, with a desire to help animals in need, have committed to donating a portion of their art sales to help animal charities.

Every little bit helps and each donation will mean another day of food, medical care or just a peaceful nights sleep for some needy critter. Our hats are off to the wonderful, caring workers at these charities and we are happy to help them with our artistic abilities.

We work hand in hand with the charities. When we list an auction we email the charity with the link, this way they see the progress and can add the link to their website. All donations are made directly to the charity from the individual Art for Critters artist upon the completion of the sale.

It brings us joy to know that as a group we can combine our passion of painting with our love of animals.

Fine Artisan Crafts On Ebay 

Ebay's Big Failure!

Ebay categorizes all crafts under the category they feel they belong in, stained glass with plastic window wrap, manufactured glass etc. Dolls under antiques, fibre art in with second hand quilts.
As a member of the art community I see beautiful works that go totally unnoticed and have gathered them for you as they are not listed under self representing artists there.
Those of us that saw this doll by Gnarly Dolls were fighting for her. Very often she creates the male counterpart.

Wild Thread Studio
Unique small quilt wall hangings and larger art pieces, original design.

Hiking is a passion and nature serves as a perpetual muse. Living in the beautiful Shawangunk Ridge area at the foot of the Catskills, Denise finds artistic motivation ever present in her daily life. She often finds inspiration in found objects, be they vintage, new or ordinary. A discovery at a yard sale or flea market will often lead to a frenzy of creative activity in which the treasured find plays an integral part in a new collage.

Quilted hand dyed equine art wall hangings.
Quilt Works
Each quilt is "one-of-a-kind" art quilt that is signed and dated by me and unique, never to be repeated again. Each quilt is started with a hand-drawn picture, and then the picture is used as my template to select the fabric so the colors are just right. The fabric is my color palette, creating just the right color and mood for each little piece of the quilt. Then the fabric pieces are cut, placed, appliqued, and quilted. Lots of details to bring these creations to life! The pictures do not show all the subtleties of the color and texture in the quilts! It is a constant source of frustration for me; on the other hand it is great to get emails that tell me "it was even prettier in person"!

Stunning art quilts, landscapes, cats, whatever you want, custom orders. Seeing is believing!

Pottery Artisans 

A little of everything!

Each piece is hand crafted on the potter's wheel, hand formed or a combination thereof by artist/potter Ron Aubuchon. No two pots are ever alike making them 'one-of-a-kind' originals. Each piece is signed by the artist. Ron's work is currently displayed in several galleries throughout Missouri. Ron is a juried member of "The Best of Missouri Hands" and The National Association of Independent Artists.

Sculpture 

Unique, original, truely great!

"What identifies a Doll as a work of Art is it's ability to project a human emotion into the viewer. It is this ability that will transcend time and allow a person in some future generation to view the work and feel what the artist felt at the moment of it's creation."-- Richard Creager, doll artist

Imaginative, fun, figurines.

It is this ability that will transcend time and allow a person in some future generation to view the work and feel what the artist felt at the moment of it's creation."-- Richard Creager, doll artistRichard and Jodi's work is a collaboration of artistic visions -- two separate and different visions with one common thread.

Ingrid Padilla
I'm an artist with an overwhelming desire to create.....

Ultimately my goal in creating my art is to always work "Outside The Box".
I love working in many different mediums and tend to mix it up quite a bit... Always striving for a whimsical originality in each and every one of my pieces. Never using templates for my art, creating my design as I go without boundries and knowing that each and every one of my art pieces is created from within myself and is like nothing else... truly being "One of a Kind".

My Mosaic Art

Funky, Beautiful,and Very Artsy styled mosaics you will not find anywhere else... My style of mosaic art is very unique in design and technique.

The grouted area of my mosaics have a more freeform look to them, the grout is squished a little above the mosaic shards, giving my mosaics a very whimsical and textured appearance.This also allows me to add things to my mosaics that are more dimensional. In using this unique technique I know that I can always do and add things in my mosaic art that is never-ending

Music by Self Representing Artists Another Original Gift Idea 

Some are blessed with many talents, a joy to listen to .

Pootinella belong to a band besides being an exceptional painter.

Loose Shoes Killer Diller - The name Loose Shoes alone evokes a sense of sunny, shambolic joy as if some country folk got together for a loose-limbed musical ramble, pickin' and grinnin' all the while. "Killer Diller" is more or less the recording I'd imagine would result from that session. Joe Brennan, Linda Christy, Lanny Fiegenschuh and Alejandro Rendon work down-home wonders as Loose Shoes; "Killer Diller" is a great record to have on hand for when temperatures soar once again it's an album tailor-made for sippin' lemonade and lazing the afternoon away.

Loose Shoes Killer Diller 

Great Music Fot A Lazy Afternoon

The quartet can easily switch from the gumbo-soaked N'awlins ditty "Zydeco Hop/Bon Ton Roulet"
to the folksy, tent revival passion of "Jesus Is My Aeroplane" without missing a beat.

Don't let the rough-edged musicianship fool you; this foursome is a crack squad of music makers,
shot through with soul and an infectious enthusiasm.

Mixed Media - Collage 

Collage (From the French: coller, to stick) is regarded as a work of visual arts made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole. This technique made its first appearance in the early 20th century as a groundbreaking novelty, however with the passing of time it's become ubiquitous.

For example, an artistic collage work may include newspaper clippings, ribbons, bits of colored or hand-made papers, photographs, etc., glued to a solid support or canvas.

Pyrography 

Pyrography is the art of decorating wood or other materials with burn marks resulting from the controlled application of a heated object such as a poker. It is also known as pokerwork or wood burning.

Pyrography means "writing with fire" and is the traditional art of using a heated tip or wire to burn or scorch designs onto natural materials such as wood or leather. Burning can be done by means of a modern solid-point tool (similar to a soldering iron) or hot wire tool, or a more basic method using a metal implement heated in a fire, or even sunlight concentrated with a magnifying lens.

This allows a great range of natural tones and shades to be achieved - beautiful subtle effects can create a picture in sepia tones, or strong dark strokes can make a bold, dramatic design.

Unique, original art!
Histories
Wood burned on bass wood.
Pyrography Folk Art by W.L. Harrington
The word "Pyrography" is taken from the Latin meaning Fire Writing. It is the art of decorating a receptive surface with a heated tool. Many different materials and items, such as leather, gourds, paper, tagua nut, shells and bones are used. Wood is perhaps the most common, so pyrography is often called "woodburning". Many types of woods are used including basswood, pine, oak and birch.
I prefer to use the wood from the Basswood tree for my art. It has a light creamy color, with very few variations in the grain.

Prints Lino Cuts & Graphite Drawings
