Saint Francis

9.25”H Ceramic plaque

A great holiday gift idea from Feliz Navidad. Handmade ceramic artifact depicting St. Francis. This ceramic artifact represents Saint Francis and is a product of St. Andrew’s Abbey, a Benedictine monastery situated in the high desert of Southern California.  It is unique not only in style, but in execution: made entirely by hand with natural materials, twice fired, the second fire to cone 10 (2350 degrees Fahrenheit), no two exactly alike. Each is an expression of the wonder of creation. Most saints also available.

Vermeil and Chalcedony earrings

Philippa Roberts
Earrings Hand crafted matte gold vermeil and chalcedony.
A great holiday gift idea from Environmental Realists. E1835 – gold vermeil (gold overlaid on sterling silver) and chalcedony earrings.  Philippa Roberts, born into a jewelry making family, was drawn to working with metal and stones at an early age.  Her love of clean lines and soft colors comes from the nature around her.  This piece is a splendid representation of that love.  These chalcedony earrings are slightly swingy and make a subtle statement.

Chulucana Lovers

Chulucana Lovers

Hand molded  clay
13.5”x10.5”x9.5”
Hand sculpted clay and hand painted Chulucana Lovers.
A great holiday gift idea from El Picaflor. The primary material used for Chulucana  Pottery is native Peruvian clay and mango leaves. The artist starts kneading the clay until it is easy to mold and use the paddle and the polishing stone to give it shape. Then the piece is placed in a low firing oven to obtain what is called bisque. Then the piece is placed in another kiln fed with mango leaves to acquire the semi-dark hue characteristic of Chulucana ceramics.

Christmas Cross

Deanne Mckeown-Sedona, AZ

Sterling silver 2 3/8”x2 3/8”

Contemporary France
A great holiday gift idea from Isadora. This cross is a festive design whose inspiration came from scrollwork on a beautiful iron gate at the Cathedral of St. Germaine de Pres in the sector of that name in Paris, France. It incorporates what appears to be a holly design with an unfolding lily. Deanne found it to be very elegant and expanded the single motif into a four-armed cross. Makes a great ornament. This cross comes with a historical information card. A collection of crosses created by Byron and Deanne McKeown, created from their historical research on crosses and rosaries worldwide. Cast in sterling silver, gold, vermeil, semi-precious and precious stones, these designs are exclusive to the McKeown Galleries.
