New Item and News Item

Good Morning,

Monday is here and with it a new item.  

Blue Streak Sterling Silver Plated and Czech Glass Bead Bracelet

Description: Micro Maille is named for it's size. At dimensions smaller than a dime, this stunning and feminine bracelet is an eye-catcher. Tailored enough for the office, great for date night, or that casual weekend out fit that needs a little jazzing up, the simple design will go with everything in your wardrobe.

8-3/4" long, this average length bracelet is made from Sterling Silver plated (over brass), wire, that is hand-spun, cut and linked in the European 4 - in 1 chainmaille pattern. Accented with Czech glass silver-lined beads in a gorgeous Sapphire blue. Finished with a solid Sterling Silver Lobster claw clasp

Customizable, may be made to desired length and in your favorite bead color or metal of choice.
 

*Precious metals are available upon customer request, please read the shop's policies for details. 

For those of you that have been following along with the sporadic posts, may have guessed by now that I am attempting to open a physical location for local and not so local Artists.

We have a great location off Fairview, in Boise.


Instead of calling it the location, it will now be known as "Little Shop of Artists".   Not a consignment shop, but a vendor venue.  Participating artists, can rent space for a month or longer, or have a "permanent booth" in the store.  Perks include a physical address, a place to send customers to shop besides on-line, and eventually we hope to be involved in some of the larger Fairs and outdoor venues, like Hyde Park Street Fair or Art in the Park.  We are not involved or connected with or part of Etsy Street Teams.  This Shop is independently owned and operated by the participating artists.

The building is being prepared and cleaned out, so I can get in there and paint and freshen up the space then we will have vendors move in, and then a Grand Opening!  Look for the actual shop to open sometime after the Holidays, after all there are only two more months in 2012!

We are also looking forward to having weekend outdoor markets on the property when the weather permits.

Interested in participating?  Want to know more?  Please feel free to contact me at any of the following:

e-mail: alchemsitsvessel@gmail.com

facebook: facebook.com/littleartistshop

Please include your name, contact information and your craft, paintings, ceramics, etched glass, etc. and we will contact you for an appointment at your convenience.

Thank you for stopping in and having a look.

The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant work week.

Fun Stuff To Do For Halloween Weekend Links and Promotions

Happy Friday,

I have been so busy this week filling orders and trying to make new items that I have not had much time to do much else.

Halloween arrives on Wednesday of next week and there are some fun things happening around town.

Frightened Felons at the Old Penitentiary
 Friday Oct. 26, 2012
The Old Idaho Penitentiary will once again open it's doors during the spookiest season! Walk through 140 years of history and, of course, hear about all the scary but TRUE things that happened in every hidden corner.  All ages are welcome, but remember some themes can be too scary for kids under 10.

I attended last year as part of the entertainment. It is interesting and a lot of fun.  History rises from the Dead for this event.

Linder Farms
A real working pumpkin farm.  They are open all month, check the link for times.  This is family fun, walk the maze, but don't get lost...
Home of BSU's Corn Maze.

It reads "Bronco Nation"

Field of Scrams at the Farmstead
I-84 and Eagle Road...
Where getting lost means finding fun!

I have not attended this, but I have been to the corn maze and other attractions.  These are OUTDOOR events and it is COLD!  Dress warmly, and bring a flash light, there isn't any electricity out in the fields or the woods and it's  DARK out there!


This year is the 13th Annual Haunted World! How appropriate!  

This is the largest outdoor Haunted attraction in the area, and it is very entertaining.  The Haunted House and Walk through the woods is nerve-racking fun!   Things jump out at you, costumed players pop out when you least expect it, diving from the corn rows or stalking you through the woods, and there are things planted and buried along the path (like trampolines) that make you feel uneasy.   Spooky, scary fun!



Please remember to follow the links for information, many of these events require a ticket or admission fee.  Times and dates are listed on their websites along with other information, like maps and directions.


Be safe out there this weekend!

Thank you for coming by and scaring up something to do!


The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a Spooktacular weekend!

Five Great Gift Suggestions - Etsy

Good Morning,

Tuesday is here and Halloween is fast approaching, which means the Holidays and Family Fun is right around the corner.  

Let's see if we can't knock an item or two off that shopping list with some cool gift ideas from the shops on Etsy.

From: Emily Andrews

Guillotine - Acrylic Painting (Print)

DescriptionThis is a print of a detailed section of a 2011 painting I did on canvas with acrylic, pastel, and ink. Though the painting is not completely finished, I find that this section in itself can be considered a separate painting. The full title of the painting is "If my Thought Dreams Could be Seen, They'd Probably Put my Head in a Guillotine", which is a line from a Bob Dylan song. The painting is 5ft x 6ft and it portrays a statement on the treatment of women in modern society and how their looks are valued more than their thoughts and opinions. The print is on glossy photo paper and is 8.5in x 11in.
Other sizes are available for every print. 


 She also has some super cute Jewelry

Yellow Gold Glass Beaded Butterfly Necklace

New Items and a Word or Two About Change

Good Morning,

Monday is here and the workweek begins.

This morning, I have one new item to share with you.
 
Today we will be doing things a bit differently.  Etsy, in its infinite stupidity has managed to destroy my on-line business in one fell swoop.  Long gone are the fabulous handmade artists shops and fun shopping experience.  Now you are lost in a sea of manufactured $2.00 garbage and crap made in China.  You might as well be shopping at Walmart.

I still offer the Etsy shop, as well as another Venue that isn't new, but is more intimate and truly devoted to the handmade artisan and their work.

Beaded Chainmaille Bracelet (Etsy)

Full Persian Weave and Czech Glass Bead Bracelet

You can also find this same item listed at handmadeartist.com, by following this link Ants Chainmaille and Czech Glass Bead Bracelet.  There are several other items listed there as I am still building the Shop, but eventually this will be the only place to shop with me on-line, besides the official website.

The Alchemists Vessel official website will also be going through some changes, we will include individual items for purchase as well as implementing new sections and removing others to offer customers and students a more cohesive site.  Please bear with us as we remodel!  The site is up and running now, stop by and see if there isn't something we can do for you today!

Last bit of news which I may have already talked about, but being busy may have forgotten.  Mind like a steel sieve.  I will be opening a Brick and Mortar location in the next several months.  I have a location that just kind of fell into my lap, (Thank You Michelle and Fred Deller of A-1 Video, Boise), and am looking for more artists to fill the space available.  Looking for Painters, Ceramic Artists, Wood Carvers, Sculptors.  Know an artist looking for a physical venue to showcase their work?  Direct them my way!  So there is no confusion, this is a PAID Participation, artist will pay a set price for their "Booth Space" within the shop and all monies in regards to sales are theirs to keep.  Artists may work their booth, or leave it in shop as there will be an On-Duty-Sales-Person at all times! (Me).  More details will be coming soon.

Participating Artists:
The Alchemists Vessel - Chainmaille and Gemstone Jewelry
Green Witch Designs - Jewelry - Knitting Goodies
Wire Witchery - Wire Wrapped Jewelry
Dreathen Leathers - Gorgeous Masks and leather accessories
Mudfipp Photography - Photographic Prints and more

I am in hope of many more participants!  On a sad note, I will not be taking anymore Jewelry Artisans.  As it happens people come and go and this may change.

Space permitting we will also be holding classes at the new store, and engaging other fun and entertaining alternatives for your gift giving needs!

Thank you for stopping in and having a read.

The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant day.

Friday - Backyard Visitor

Good Morning,

Friday's are usually devoted to links and promotions; however; today I am out of things to promote and not only am I out of links, I am also out of Doritos!

Since it is Friday and the weekends are made for relaxing, it might be fun to share the visitor that came to see me the other day.

Once again, I have taken the photos through the glass backdoor, and had my camera set on 13x Zoom.  These were taken at around 5:45 - 6:00 p.m. in the afternoon.

Coopers Hawk, hunting something

He hung out for about fifteen (15) minutes flitting from one fence post to the other further down the yard.

He even posed for me, but just once.

These creatures are fascinating.  This is just one of the reasons I love living in Idaho, I never know what will show up in my backyard.

There it is!
Here he is on the other side of the fence.  It was hunting something. This was taken right before it dove off the fence in search of dinner.

What's Happening In The Studio

Greetings,

The middle of the week is here, and with it brings exciting news!

Yesterday afternoon, I stopped by a local shop here in town, A-1 Video, to have a  look at a building on the property.

Why would I go look at a building?

It has been an idea in my head for some time to have a location where local artists and artisans, myself included, could showcase their wares to the public.  Sculptures, ceramics, leather-works, jewelry, paintings and accessories, that can purchased directly from the Artist!

The building is cozy with lots of potential to show off local artists and their work.  It is bright, airy and gets great foot and street traffic.  The Taco Truck out front doesn't hurt either.

I am excited.


There is a lot of work to be done before the shop will be ready to accept vendor's items and open for business.  We will report on the progress occasionally, as the project continues.  Secure, clean and in a nice area, on a lovely piece of property with trees and access to the main thoroughfare.  What's not to like?

Thank you for stopping by and having a look.

The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant afternoon.

Five Gift Ideas from Etsy

Good Morning, 

Tuesday arrives wet and a little dreary, but that is all right.  Idaho could use the rain.

Today I have five gift ideas for you from the shops on Etsy and a new one or two to check out!

Here is a brand new shop and an interesting artist.

From:  Emily Andrews

Dream Factory Photo Collage Print


Description: A high resolution print of a photo collage I did using images from multiple sources such as magazines and old newspapers on a TV tray.

Other sizes are available for every print.

Black and White Pearl Necklace with Black Resin Rose Flower Pendant


Description:  Black and White Pearl Necklace with Resin Rose Flower Pendant, Necklace and Earring Set.
I handmade this lovely necklace with ivory glass pearls. The beautiful pendant is made of a black resin rose set on a non-tarnish fine silver-plated metal base. I finished the necklace with a silver plated lobster clasp.

-The necklace measures approx. 45.5cm (17.91'') from one end to the other in a straight line.
The pendant is 3.5cm (1.38'') long and the resin rose measures 3cm (1.18'').

-The earring will fall 3.3cm (1.30 inches) from your piercing. I handcraft this beautiful pair using black resin rose flowers, set on silver plated ear posts. I wire wrapped the roses and pearls with silver plated wire.

This pretty set will brighten up any outfit and it is a perfect gift for a woman.

Holiday Ornament Red Sled with Penguins 


Description:  This is a hand painted and decorated pine sled with two penguins and an igloo. The penguins are sitting in the snow with presents all around them. The sled is a cheery holiday red with white runners. Glittering snowflakes add some sparkle. This versatile sled can be placed under the tree, hung on the wall, stood in a corner or placed any where you want some holiday color. This sled will become a treasured holiday decoration you'll love for many years. It would also be an exceptional gift to give a loved one.
24 in x 10 in x 2 in

For the sled I used acrylic paint and three coats of varnish to ensure durability. The holly and the snowflakes are glued on. I added a red and gold tie for hanging.




Description:  One of the greatest pleasures we get as a knitter, is teaching the skill to the next generation. We love sharing what we know with the younger set. Many of us have young knitters in our own homes. The dilemma we face is, what do we do when they raid our favorite notions? Here is the perfect answer, our Just Like Mommy line of stitch markers. These fun little notions are inexpensive and created with the youngest knitters in mind! The perfect way to give her, or him, the tools they need to keep up with their new favorite hobby! No more worrying about your own favorite markers and hoping they will make it back to you.

These pink with purple heart markers are made of plastic beads, silver plated findings and will fit up to a size US9 needle.
They are pictured here with a size US6 needle.


That is all for today.

Thank you for stoppping in and having a look.

The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant day.
