How much fun are these!? We've tried to learn to roll Fimo & other polymer clay into sticks or rolls and we always end up with marbleized clay - a fancy way to say we couldn't come up with a picture. With these, we don't have to worry. The picture has already been rolled into the sticks. So, all you do slice and bake. Don't worry, the instructions are included.

Our pink Fimo roll features a little brown teddy bear holding onto a heart. Or, is s/he offering it to you?

You can slice them to any depth - and can even make the diameter smaller or larger (instructions for this technique included, too). To make a bead or charm, just make a hole before you bake.

Rolls measure 50mm long by 15mm in diameter (about 5/8 inch). So you can make a bunch of beads, components or charms from just one roll!

Two rolls shown for illustration. Instructions are included.

We just love letterpress cards and letters. The elegance of vintage stationery is all but forgotten. We're simply delighted that some smaller companies are offering the same high-quality papers and designs with a modern touch - so we can offer them to you! And, of course, because it is letterpress, you can feel the letters with your fingers.

These letterpress notes are printed by hand on antique letterpresses. The illustrations are engraved into magnesium plates. The cards are placed by hand into the press where the images are transferred by relief method, creating an impression you can see and feel. And, just in case we could not identify this fellow, the image is labeled:

BE MINE

The card measures 3-1/2 by 5 inches and is accompanied by a matching tan envelope.

When you have the facts on your side, argue the facts.
When you have the law on your side, argue the law.
When you have neither, holler.

Furnace Glass Bead Strand

Although many glass beads are hand-made, furnace glass beads are even more special - as they are actually made by glass-blowing. The glass-blower begins just as though a vase or glass was being made! After pulling a long hot tube of glass (this sometimes takes two people), the hot glass is sliced in to pieces like these.

Each of these temporarily strung strands contains from 65-70 cube (square-sided) beads. While no two strands are alike, all of the strands we have are similar to the one pictured. The beads are assorted jewel-tone colors.

From Fresh Frances, this playful note card features a bunch of monkeys jumping on the bed! And , don't they just look like they’re having a ball, too! But the little one, sitting on the floor, is examining the bump on his head!

It reminds us of the counting rhyme (although the rhyme is not on the card):

Four little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head.
Mama called the doctor...
And the doctor said, "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

Each notecard is printed on creamy white Italian textured cover-weight cotton paper, with a deep red envelope, matching the pain coming from the little guy's bump! The card measures 4-1/4 by 5-1/2 inches.

We at SilverCrow are big time fans of anything made with chenille pipe cleaners (aka chenille stems). Grandfathers used to clean their pipes with these and we'd scarf a few to make little ornaments of our won.

These old fashioned bunny ornaments  are in distress (oops! we mean they've been distressed) - to look so vintage! Each one measures about 4-inches high, but, because they are bendable - you might choose to pose them in a different positions! Each carries a a little carrot (probably trying to imitate that famous Bugs!)

The bunnies' heads are made of a reproduction scrap that has been cut neatly to resemble the Victorian scraps of old.

Known for his wit and intelligence, so many of Oscar Wilde's phrases have become almost colloquial. Here is a fine example:

Work is the curse

Wouldn't this make a great invitation to a wine-tasting, a retirement party or just because you enjoy your co-workers so much, you might want them to invade your home as well!

is unwilling to be ignored.

Interpret this as you will: it is an important message to remember - sometimes it's difficult to be sad only because life forces beauty upon us...or, how do you see it?

We are great fans of anything handmade and this charm is just that. Rather than a bouquet of flowers, consider buying your friend, or, of course yourself, these everlasting miniature flowers sealed in resin and set in sterling silver. They'll last a lifetime.

The horticulture is called flores pequeñas (small flowers in Spanish). Along the lines of the Japanese bonsai, these flowers are still the same as their larger counterparts - just more dainty. The flowers are harvested and arranged in pleasing motifs and then cast in resin to preserve them.

Our little heart is set in sterling silver and measures 3/4 inch high (7/8 inch with the bail) by 11/16 inch wide. The basic floral display is the same in each of these lovely hearts, but each will be different as all are handmade, and the flowers are natural. So, please let us choose one for you.

Your heart will arrive in a little gift bag for your pleasure.

How much fun are these!? We've tried to learn to roll Fimo & other polymer clay into sticks or rolls and we always end up with marbleized clay - a fancy way to say we couldn't come up with a picture. With these, we don't have to worry. The picture has already been rolled into the sticks. So, all you do slice and bake. Don't worry, the instructions are included.

If you don't have a smiley face then a smiley heart is the next best thing - or maybe even better. With a pink smiling heart within a purple border, this will make delightful components for youngsters or adults.

You can slice them to any depth - and can even make the diameter smaller or larger (instructions for this technique included, too). To make a bead or charm, just make a hole before you bake.

Rolls measure 50mm long by 15mm in diameter (about 5/8 inch). So you can make a bunch of beads, components or charms from just one roll!

Two rolls shown for illustration. Instructions are included.

Hollywood Dollies is a series of paper cutout doll sheets of famous motion picture stars in original costumes from movies. This sheet features the elegant star of the silent screen, Mae Murray. The sheet measures 10 by 13 inches and is ready for you to cut out the doll and her costumes.

Mae Murray was born Marie Adrienne Koenig in 1889. She is primarily known for her work in silent films with the likes of John Gilbert and Clifton Weg. Her most famous film was probably the film The Merry Widow directed by Erich von Stroheim in 1925. But, she was quite the talented cabaret and dance star on stage. She also produced and wrote several films. She may have introduced full lips to Hollywood before collagen - she was known as The Girl with the Bee-Stung Lips.

Ms Murray started a charity with several other prominent cinema business people to care for indigent screen actors and crew. Unfortunately, later in life she suffered from dementia and used the resources of the charity.

Book: dadas ON ART

dadas ON ART (Tzara, Arp, Duchamp and Others)

 More Books

A protest against the brutality of World War I and a rejection of traditional culture and aesthetics, the Dada movement proclaimed itself as anti-art. In the visual arts, literature and graphic design, the Dadas shocked and scandalized audiences of the early 1900s with their expressions of disillusionment with politics and society. This select anthology reconstructs the movement's anarchic history and its harsh, vivid spirit by presenting the prose, poetry and polemic of the artists themselves and their poet friends.

Focusing chiefly on visual artists, this collection ranges from Tristan Tzara's manifesto and Jean Arp's declaration of Dada principles to statements by Man Ray and Jean Cocteau. It features interviews with Hanna Höch and Marcel Duchamp, in addition to articles by Max Ernst, Richard Hülsenbeck, Marcel Janco, Hans Richter, George Grosz and other prominent figures.

Editor Lucy R. Lippard - a well-known feminist art critic, author and theorist - provides brief biographies for each contributor. These absorbing and provocative insights into Dada philosophy illustrate the movement's enduring vitality and its continuing power to affect modern art.

This unabridged republication of the edition published in 1971 is a trade-size paperback measuring 5-3/8 by 8-1/2 inches, 192 pages.

This jacketed hardcover book measures 8-1/2 by 10 inches with 128 pages.

Don't decorate your shirt front with egg or coffee deposits.

Don't forget to raise your hat to every lady acquaintance you meet.

Wooden nickels

More Wood

More Unique Embellishments

Some are old, some vintage and some pretty new - but see what you can buy with these wooden nickels! Once given to customers in lieu of coupons, these were a clever form of advertising - many people wanted to keep them as souvenirs, so the merchant rarely had to cash them in! And, if someone did us one, it could be given to yet another customer - not like today's throw-away coupons.

First issued in the 1930s, these were introduced when banks were failing as a promissory note of sorts. Most had expiration dates - some even expiration times. So, the phrase "Don't take any wooden nickels" was warning the buyer to beware of soon-to-expire change s/he might receive! Later, they were used as commemoratives for celebrations, and as coupons.

What a great idea for show-and-tell at any age!

Service stripes are also known as hash marks or bars in the US military. They are presented to enlisted service members to denote length of service. Each of these bars (or stripes) were used to commemorate 6 months of overseas service during World War II.

These authentic gold  stripes are unused and backed with buckram, commonly used to stabilize the felt cloth for embroidery. The felted material is what appears to us to be an army green/brown over-dyed wool.

We were fortunate to obtain a length of them, so we will cut them to order. All stripes you order will be in one piece as pictured in the illustration.

Five stripes are illustrated above, denoting 2-1/2 years of overseas duty. These were awarded in recognition of time served, regardless of the type of service. A soldier need not have served in actual combat to receive stripes.

And nobody ever

More Bracelets

More Milagros & Medals

Representing the Faiths of the World and the wearer's belief that diversity strengthens our humanity rather than divides us, our wonderful sterling silver bracelet should bring positive energy to anyone who wears it. Let's hope that it also spreads peace through understanding and tolerance.

The links represent world religions by symbol:

  • SIKH - The Khanda Emblem symbolizes the four pillars of Sikh belief, represented by symbolic weapons. In the center is the double-edged sword (Khanda), representing knowledge of divinity and the creative power of God. Surrounding this is a circular ring  (Chakkar), symbolizing the unity of God. Chakkar and Chakra are derived from the same root. And, on either side, crossed kirpans (Piri & Miri), symbolizing spiritual and temporal power in balance.

  • JUDAISM - The Star of David is the most recognizable modern emblem of the Jewish religion. Legend has it that the image was used by King David of the Bible as his shield. The association with Judaism did not come until the middle ages. In Kabbalistic tradition, the hexagram symbolizes the six directions of space: the divine union of male and female energy, and the four elements.

  • CHRISTIANITY - The Cross, though generally representative of the Christian religions, has been a religious symbol for thousands of years. Because it was originally thought to be a pagan symbol, it was not the first representation of Christian faith. The most well known cross is the Latin cross, representing the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. When it is pictured with the image of Christ upon it, it is called a crucifix. A true Latin cross, when folded, creates a cube, an ancient symbol of earthly authority.

  • ISLAM - The Star and Crescent, is recognized as the symbol of the Islamic faith, but is not accepted by all Muslims. This is an ancient symbol, seen as early as 200 BC. There is no mention of this symbol in the Koran.

  • HINDUISM - The Omkar, or Om Symbol derives from the Sanskrit. Om (ohm) is considered the primordial sound by which the earth was created, symbolizing the unfolding. It symbolizes unfolding, growth and expansion. Omkar represents the Om and its four parts represent the four states of human awareness: the material state (ordinary waking), the state of deep sleep, the dream state and the awakened state (absolute conscience). Many eastern religions celebrate the Om.

  • BUDDHISM - The Dharma Wheel, also known as the dharmachakra, is Buddhist symbol that originates in the Hindu. The surrounding circle symbolizes the completeness of the Dharma. Its eight spokes represent the eight tenets of Buddhist belief that lead to enlightenment: right faith, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right endeavor, right mindfulness and right meditation. Generally circular symbols represent continuity and eternal rebirth, rather the Dharma Wheel represents the ability to overcome obstacles.

This stunning bracelet is wrought in sterling silver and arrives in a special anti-tarnish pouch.

Xiuhtecuhtli is the oldest of the Aztec gods. He is the caretaker, the personification of light in the darkness, warmth in coldness, and life in death. He is a god of light and fire.

The Aztec century was 52 years. At the end of each century, the Aztecs feared that the gods would discontinue their agreements with mankind. Feasts in their honor were held to appease the gods, particularly Xiuhtecuhtli.

Mexican artist Angel Cerón has created a unique rendering of the famed god that almost appears to be an antiquity. Each statue measures about 9 inches high.

Small Sumi Ink Stick

Close-Up

 

Small Sumi Ink Stick

Sumi ink has been made in the traditional fashion - from burnt wood - for more than 3,000 years. Asian artisans process the wood residue from burnt wood into solid sticks of ink in the same manner today - just a bit more quickly with modern equipment. The pine soot from pine or vegetable oils is mixed with animal or fish glue. The glue insures that the ink can be molded. It is then dried to form a well-shaped solid block which. To use the ink, it  must be ground into a stone - and water added to it (usually with a Water Dropper).

Nothing is more special for creating the many subtle shades of black and grey, that characterizes traditional Sumi painting.

Even if you're not a Sumi artist, you might not be able to resist - this makes a perfect embellishment for a special Asian assemblage or collage.

Just about every kid who grew up in the Northwest United States during that time tuned in as Julius Pierpont Patches, Mayor of the City Dump, entertained them with cartoons, sketches and special guests. But you don’t have to be an original Patches Pal to appreciate this legend of local television — the success of his endlessly entertaining show paved the way for many others, probably even the one you watched as a kid.

Although very little video tape of the show still exists, you can relive the magic with this 5-1/4 inch tall, hard vinyl J.P. Patches Action Figure. He arrives just for you with his very own Tikey Turkey (J.P.’s pet rubber chicken) and a miniature cream pie!

This vintage souvenir, of course, hails from long before the advent of television. It measures 11-3/4 inches and is a fancy full color book printed in the chromolithograph technique. The booklet celebrated the 75th Anniversary of the Tournament of Roses Parade - its Golden Jubilee.

There are 32 color pages. The booklet features over 30 pictures of various floats from 1889 to 1939. You'll see the winning floats from 1927 through 1938.

Each of the pages is frameable. Each of the souvenirs we have are in tremendous shape, but you may find a page or two that sticks together a little. We have packaged them in plastic to protect them during shipping, but you might want to remove that plastic when you receive yours.

These were discovered in a shed in the Pasadena, California area many years ago. They come in their original envelopes which are really neat looking, but the envelopes are deteriorating, probably due to the adhesive.

Letterpress Greeting Card - I Love You to Death

More Day of the Dead Sundries

We just love letterpress cards and letters. The elegance of vintage stationery is all but forgotten. We're simply delighted that some smaller companies are offering the same high-quality papers and designs with a modern touch - so we can offer them to you! The simple design represents the simple sentiment so well. And, of course, because it is letterpress, you can feel the imprint of the images and sentiments with your fingers.

An elegant Victorian-style wooden coffin is printed on the front of the card, topped off by a flowery heart. On the top of the box is a cross and on the sides, two Day of the Dead style skeletons adorn the carrying handles.

Inside, there is an image of two graves, side-by-side, with the same heart repeated inside and the sentiment, in a flowery font, matching the heart, reads:

I LOVE YOU TO DEATH

The 4-3/4 inch card is morbidly sweet. Consider it for a Valentine or for any time you want to make a lifetime commitment. This fine greeted card is printed on fine pressed cardstock with sepia-toned ink.

Although this is not the natural raffia made of straw, it is mad of rayon - so it is not synthetic at all! Because rayon is manufactured from cellulose fiber, it is truly one of the most renewable products around. The naturally occurring polymers in the plant cellulose make it not a synthetic, but it is not actually natural either as it must be manufactured to be used.

We think this an important, point, but, as philosophers, we agree that it could be argued that even natural wool yarn must be manufactured (spun) before it is used.

Now that all argument is aside, we must say that we love this stuff. It is great for wrapping presents. It adds a touch of elegance when used a s a bow on an organza bag. And we love it for making Ojos de Dios (God's Eye) ornaments.

You can use it as is (about 1/8 inch wide) or spread the width (to 7/8 inch). Either way, the lovely sky blue color will accent many projects nicely.

The wrestlers are as well known for their colorful and varied costumes and masks as they are for their macho attitudes.

Simply lay the sundial on a flat level surface and turn it so that the blue compass needle points to the N for North. Keeping the eyelet which holds the cord touching the table, then raise the opposite side of the dial as many degrees as your current latitude.

Each sundial comes with instructions and a list of latitudes (of cities, both large and small, exotic and historic) are included. It will be great fun for kids of all ages to tell time like seafarers (pirates and sailors alike) of old.

Many Moods Necklace (My Mirage Necklace)

Detail Close-Up

SilverCrow Exclusive

Sterling Silver Necklace of Many Moods - My Secret Mirage

Also Available in a Longer Length

 

Like life itself, Mirage Necklaces are always changing and mysterious.

This wonderful Mirage Necklace comes alive with sensuous color as you wear it. Inspired by the mood jewelry of the 1960s and 1970s, this mesmerizing necklace is made of beads that change color with minute variations in temperature. You'll be amazed by the quality of the substantial silver-accented beads.

This stunning necklace is made entirely of sterling silver and Mirage Beads. An elegant toggle clasp and pretty flower beads between are pure sterling. This is SilverCrow's exclusive design and we're certainly proud of it.

This necklace is not for the faint of heart as it is a bit weighty due to the natural materials used in making it.

The mirage beads are indicators of your moods. And of course, with the length, your many moods will make this necklace uniquely yours every time you wear it.

The color-changing thermo-sensitive liquid crystal beads are the main focus. The mirage or mood beads are made of nickel-free white-plated brass. Long chain crystals in the colored section of the beads refract light in uniquely at different temperatures - creating a different necklace each time you change environment or mood! The beads can range in color from:

Black (Stressed) to
Brown or Gray (Afraid) to
Yellow (Nervous) to
Green (Unsure) to
Turquoise (Normal, if that exists) to
Dark Blue (Relaxed) to
Indigo (Calm) to
Purple (Cool) to
Orange (Lovable) to
Light Green (Romantic) to
Teal (Passionate) to
Deep Blue (Very Happy) to
any other color beyond and between.

You'll even find that each bead may display several moods at once.

We couldn't decide the name for this necklace, so we gave it two names. Three would probably be better because it is really made of three lengths. The longest strand is 21 inches (including the clasp). The next is 18 inches and the shortest is just 16 inches.

Although this is moisture resistant, please avoid prolonged content with water.

Sumi ink has been made in the traditional fashion - from burnt wood - for more than 3,000 years. Asian artisans process the wood residue from burnt wood into solid sticks of ink in the same manner today - just a bit more quickly with modern equipment. The pine soot from pine or vegetable oils is mixed with animal or fish glue. The glue insures that the ink can be molded. It is then dried to form a well-shaped solid block which. To use the ink, it  must be ground into a stone - and water added to it (usually with a Water Dropper).

Nothing is more special for creating the many subtle shades of black and grey, that characterizes traditional Sumi painting.

Even if you're not a Sumi artist, you might not be able to resist - this makes a perfect embellishment for a special Asian assemblage or collage.

We offer them to you in either matte stainless steel or shiny black. Both dog tags are stainless steel. The black tag is enameled for color strength.

Consider SilverCrow's 36-inch Nickel-Plated Stainless Steel Ball-Chain Necklace or 4" Stainless Steel Ball-Chain Key Chain to turn your tag into the perfect gift!

Sacred Heart Earrings

These lovely dangle earrings feature a silvery Sacred Heart hanging from wonderful red faceted crystal beaded chain. We like the European-style earrings as we feel them less likely to be lost. The earrings hang about 3 inches from the bottom of the ear wire.

A Travel Blessing

More Journeys & Travel

A journey is a most apropos occasion for a blessing, both because of the excitement inherent in travel and the human separation involved. At the moment of parting we wish to speak wisely and concisely and as this is often difficult to achieve, our Travel Blessing is a useful gift.

Mr. Poltarnees' text embodies his long meditated advice, such as:

Travel lightly carrying neither weighty luggage nor burdensome preconceptions.

Let the map inspire you, and the road whisper your next destination.

Every page is illustrated in full color, with images that deepen the impact of the words. Welleran Poltarnees continues his series of blessings on various aspects of life with this book, intended to be given to someone planning or embarking on a journey. He reminds the prospective traveler of the accumulated wisdom of wise journeying, and wishes for them the pleasure and enlightenment that travel can bestow.

Among the counsels Poltarnees gives are: to travel lightly, without heavy luggage or rigid expectations; to keep open to strange events and unfamiliar ways; to take the time to savor each place. Poltarnees has selected images for this book with his usual flair for aptness and surprises us - as he always does - with the excellence and unfamiliarity of his choices.
