These are highly embossed shiny black Dresden clowns are just waiting to make you laugh. They're perfect for a Circus Birthday - add them to a party cone or invitation! Very little trimming is necessary - making them even more attractive.

Long used for embellishing ornaments and glued to other paper scraps and decoupage projects, these wonderful motifs are even more special because they are black - a rare but favored color of many of ornaments of the Victorian period.

The embossing on these reliefs is superb, as is the cutting. These are new but are made in the same fashion as they have been for many, many decades! The largest motif is about 2 inches from collar to tip of hat and about 1-3/8 inch wide.

April Fool's Brooch from Maximal Art by John Wind

April Fool's Day (the first of April) finds its roots in so many different traditions, it's hard to sort them all out. The vast number of these histories seem to center around the Vernal Equinox, once signaling the New Year. As today, many were known to exchange hopeful gifts at the beginning of the new year. So, when the calendar changed to feature January 1 as beginning each year, many protested by making mock gifts and ceremonies. This negative reaction turned into the April Fool's Jokes we have today.

We were delighted to be able to offer you such a wonderful piece for such a fun holiday!

Fun-loving, festive and full of life, our little jester pin is from Maximal Art by John Wind. It measures 3/4 inch by 2 inches and is accented with Austrian crystals, glitter and more.

Like all Maximal Art jewelry, this sprightly brooch is designed by artist John Wind. This wonderful design features vintage style art, 14 karat gold plating and, of course, the Austrian crystals and glass beads.

Each brooch arrives in a lovely Maximal Art gift bag and is certain to charm even the most discerning eye! Many Maximal Art pieces become collectible as they retire.

Wow! This large (10-inch long) bird is made of cardboard and feathers. S/he was hand painted and has chopped up cellophane for hair! This great little pink, white and blue bird was probably originally red, white and blue. But, it's just as cool in its faced glory.

Each bird is attached to a wooden stick by a long string. Holding the stick, you swing the bird around your head and the bird will fly and make a squeaking noise. These are vintage, so please allow for some variation in color and expected wear.

Although it is not marked, we suspect that this fun toy was made in Japan. It is in great condition for its age, having been from some time around 1950. They were found in storage in the Columbus, Ohio warehouse of a carnival distributor.

Loving Easter Greeting

The glitter accents are in just the perfect spots to highlight the image! Best of all, once the glitter is exposed to air, it may tarnish, which adds to the vintage feel! Of course, each card is accompanied by a matching envelope.

Because this card is accented with glass glitter, please use care when handling the cards, and of course, such products adorned with glass glitter are not suitable for children.

Susan Mrosek is the astonishing artist of these absolutely wonderful cards! The advice is meant for pondering:

I've joined a more spiritual circus act.
The performers wear soft laps, dimpled grins,
and rainbowed eyes. At dinner they bring gifts
to the table - my favorite,
the hand-milled kaleidoscope of all possibilities.

Such a wonderful thought along with such a special print of her watercolor - and in a note card! You'll want to pin this up nearby to remind you to live such a full and wonderful life. And, to remember the openings in the future porthole!

We suggest this card for anyone celebrating a new beginning, no matter what the circumstances!

Elegant Clowns Fine Giftwrap

This elegant giftwrap features a number of clowns and jesters in position to entertain and delight. Whether it be climbing a tree, falling down, teetering on a board or acrobatically tumbling, these old-time clowns aren't quite as creepy as those on our more modern Creepy Clowns giftwrap.

And, as with all great giftwrap, you'll find it brilliant when used in your book art, collage and assemblage projects. It is so gorgeous, you might even consider framing it! Of course, it's intended use as wrapping paper is also a possibility.

Superbly printed on 20 by 28 inch sheets of fine and sturdy textured paper.

Vintage Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus Peanut Bag - Red & White Stripes

Vintage Ringling Bros Barnum & Bailey Circus Jumbo Peanuts Bag

Even the elephant on the front of this bag looks delighted to go under the big top for some tasty jumbo peanuts. These make great wrappings with the American patriotic colors and the circus design. We use them to package special small gifts and everyone smiles at the  prospect of what might be inside (even if it is simply a peanut eraser!)

Small El Cirquero Nicho - Hand Painted and Embellished

Close-Up

 

El Cirquero Nicho (Circus Performer)

More Nichos

We had this exciting nicho hand made and painted just for SilverCrow! The artist has adapted a traditional mini nicho (about 3-1/2 inches high) to feature El Cirquero (the Circus Performer) from a traditional Loteria deck. Individually hand-made and painted skulls and devils were added in brightly painted colors - perhaps highlighting the paradox of the circus itself! We just love these!

Because these are hand-crafted and hand-painted, please allow some variance in design. The basic color is a deep turquoise with bright circus colors added the exterior. The individual skulls and devils vary as well. Please let us select one for you as all of them are magnificent.

Creepy Clown Clock

Hey kids, what time is it? There is something about this clown that just doesn't seem so right. Is it the eyes? We don’t know, but we wouldn’t recommend hanging this in your child’s bedroom. The soft foam Creepy Clown Clock is 13 by 10 inches and will delight with its swinging hat and tie pendulum. Requires one AA battery (included).

Pinback Button - A Few Clowns Short of a Circus Now Aren't We?

Short Circus Pin-Back Button

Of course this tongue-in-cheek sentiment has been intimated in many ways (not playing with a full deck, not all there, etc.), but we just couldn't resist this 1-1/4 inch diameter pin-back button!

With the sentiment:

A FEW CLOWNS SHORT OF A CIRCUS NOW AREN'T WE?

you're sure to get a laugh or two more than those missing clowns!

Fantastic Fridge Magnet - Comfort the Disturbed

Close-Up

 

Comfort Magnet

At first, this magnet seems that it might be tongue in cheek or cynical, but we think otherwise! If a friend is suffering a trauma, certainly s/he is in need of comfort - a good reminder for us all!

And, as an artist, or artistically minded, we are reminded to "think out of the box" and to remember - just because that's the way it is, it doesn't mean that it should remain that way. Remember, you can change city hall!

Comfort the Disturbed - Disturb the Comfortable

Keep this strangely inspirational magnet on your closest metal surface to remind you of a special mission in life!

Now you can make a note to yourself while keeping in mind that life's a circus! Or, with the polite little hint, let's make it happen, write a reminder to a friend or loved one.

Clever as it is, you might even choose to use it as a gift tag! Each 3 by 5-inch mini pad contains 40 sheets, with the image of a female weight lifter with the complementary image of two women making it happen: a trapeze acrobat holds a chain between her teeth holding a canon while the other catches the canon ball in her bare hands!
