Art Postcard - Never Doubt...

More Courage
If you're not happy with the way things are, you can make a difference! That's the message from renowned anthropologist, Margaret Mead, on this wonderful art postcard designed in the tradition of 1960s posters. The illustration and calligraphy by Jody Richards certainly highlight Mead's sentiment:
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed it's the only thing that ever has.

VooDooBaby™ B Gaytes
With B Gates, you'll enjoy the good fortune and multi-million dollar earning potential, just like his namesake! Everything about B.G. shouts "success". He brings you creativity and determination. B Gaytes measures 2-1/2 inches high and about 1-1/2 inch wide.
Each VooDoo Baby is hand-writhed from a single string of cotton thread. Amazingly, there is no wire inside the doll to support the structure. The creation of each VooDooBaby takes not only excellent artisanship, but also a great deal of attention, patience and care. They are an expression of imagination, creativity and appreciation and are not for real and possess no curse effect whatsoever - but wouldn't it be nice if they could?

Mini Sterling Silver Saint Jude Charm
St Jude Statue
Sterling Silver Guadalupe Charm
Saint Jude is the Patron Saint of lost or impossible causes. It is believed that this patronage has been derived from the confusion by many early Christians between Jude and Judas not understanding the difference in the names.
No one ever prayed for Jude's help, and devotion to him became something of a lost cause. Made famous by comedian Danny Thomas, St Jude has come to represent hope and much more than just lost causes. St Jude's Children's Research Hospital, created by Danny Thomas after his prayer was heard, provides treatment for children who suffer from catastrophic medical conditions, without regard to the family's ability to pay.
This tiny little charm is the perfect addition to charm earrings, a nicho - particularly if made in our Nicho Necklace! The image is strikingly clear in this little 3/8 inch diameter charm.

Hand Watercolored Note Card - Surviving
SilverCrow Creations is proud to offer this wonderful work of art that disguises itself as a greeting card! Created by J.Stone Cards, one by one, each card measures 3-3/4 by 7-1/4 inches, and is individually hand painted in watercolor on elegant 100% cotton cream colored card stock with a matching envelope. It is blank inside, reading on the outside:
once you have gone through the worst that could ever happen, and survived it: you will have transcended fear & anger & sorrow in a way that will set you free forever more...
We love the sentiment, especially as it is complemented by the rainbow of color beyond the natural tree doorway, with the soaring birds flying free.

Working On IT Note Card
Book by Susan Mrosek
Susan Mrosek is the astonishing artist of these absolutely wonderful cards! For perseverance, encouragement, or just a thought, the woman in the illustration is working with a little bottle labeled:
This and that
The message reads:
What can I say but I'm working on it, all of it - everything in its entirety; I've left nothing out. I can't say when it'll be complete, only that I'll not cease until it's longer, rounder, tighter...and a little more red.

More Pendants & Necklaces
More Native American Indian Items
Red Cloud, known to the Lakota People as Makhpiya Luta was born in 1822. As a war leader of the Native American Indian Tribe of the Oglala Lakota Sioux Nation, he was one of the most capable world leaders of the 19th Century. Until his death in 1909, he continued to lead his people even in reservation life. Red Cloud rejected leasing land to the US Government and remains highly respected because of his conviction and honesty.
This elegant greytone Portrait Pendant of Red Cloud measures 7/8 inch wide by 1-1/4 inch long. Made of vitreous enamel, each pendant is assembled by hand, so please allow for some variability.
Equally stunning as jewelry or as an art element in a shrine or assemblage, this unique piece is conservatively priced for such elegant craftsmanship.

This is My Wish for You
Frequently one wishes to say to another, "I wish you the best of everything." This book delivers this message with power and sincerity. Welleran Poltarnees has taken Charles Snell's text and selected a painting or illustration for each wish, giving additional life to an already marvelous text.
We assert, without exaggeration, that this is the nearly perfect gift book. It is the smaller hardcover version of a book with the same title, measuring 4-1/2 by 6-1/2 inches.
This is a book created to be given. At its center is a poem by Charles Snell which was written for, and published in, 1914 as a small gift book. In it the giver, in a series of concrete images, extends the recipient many good wishes.
In the 48-page volume, Snell's words are presented within borders made by Daniel Maclise for a book entitled Moore's Irish Melodies, published in 1846. Selected images accompany each wish. These are made by a great variety of painters and illustrators, and range over more than 150 years.
This Is My Wish for You is in the tradition of ancient blessings, in which one tries, through the power of language, to throw a mantle of protection and beneficence over the receiver.
