Five Great Gifts For Giving - List J 2016

Good Morning,

Today and every Tuesday, we list five unique gifts from five unique shops around the web or your favorite Shopping sites.  Today's list comes from the neat folks of Etsy.

From: Sue's Arts
 

Hamsa Wall Hang Charm, Hanging Hamsa wall charm, hamsa, wall hamsa, home decor, wall decor, evil eye charm, house gift, home gift

Beautiful, unique and one of a kind all handmade hanging wall Hamsa.

Made out of stone.

Approx size:

Fish: 1" x 21/2"
Hamsa: 5" x 3"
Total length: 83/4"

The Hamsa as a home or business decor piece hung on a wall is a very common ornament in many Middle Eastern countries.

The Hamsa is believed to protect and shield against the evil eye and the envious eye of strangers.

It is also believed to create positive energy, happiness, prosperity and good health which makes it the perfect gift idea..

The Hamsa is a symbol that has been around for thousands of years with its many names Hamsa, Hamsa Hand (Arabic), Chamsa, Hand of God, Hand of Fatima, Hand of Miriam, Hamesh Hand (Hebrew) to name just a few - the meaning is for the most part the same, the five digits of the human hand protecting the user.

To a certain extent folklore and superstition are behind the Hamsa's popularity and for the most part it has nothing to do with the official Jewish religion.

DELIVERED IN A GIFT BAG

CUSTOM ORDERS ALWAYS WELCOME

FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS

Thank you,

Cat art print, Archival 8 x 10" Print of acrylic cat painting, Cat decor, Black cat, Whimsical cat art collage, Whimsical bird, Funny bird

This whimsical 8 x 10" cat and bird art print is an archival reproduction of my original acrylic collage titled "Herman gets his feet wet. (But Stanley comes prepared)"

I printed it on archival Epson Velvet Fine Art paper using archival inks.
The paper is 100% cotton fiber and is textured matte.

It has a small white border that can be trimmed if you'd like. Please indicate in "note to seller" when ordering. The image measures 8 x 10" without the border. The paper is 8 1/2 x 11".

I left it unframed and unmatted so you can match colors to your decor, but you can get an idea of what it might look like matted and framed by viewing the photos above.

What's New in the Studio?

Good Morning,

Today I have a look at what's happening in the studio.  Never a dull moment, learning a new weave or pattern is always fun.

Chain Maille Wraps for cabochons.


Starting is a fairly simple affair, choose rings in a size that will hold the piece you are wrapping. 

I found that positioning the last rings are the most difficult, but the results are worth the fiddling.






Working on finding more rings and cabochons that will soon be in the shop.

Thank you for stopping in and having a look.  

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