Hand Made Dichroic Glass Black Snake with Red Stripe Pendant

More Pendants & Necklaces

More Animals

Slithering up to your choker, chain, ribbon or leather thong, this slithery glass snake has been hand made of dichroic glass. The sparkly red stripe adds a bit more excitement, too.

Dichroic glass is comprised of multiple micro-layers of metal oxides. These metals give the glass special optical properties. Although considered very modern by many, dichroic glass actually dates back to the 4th century.

Each of these slithery snakes is hand made, so you'll notice some variation from one to the next, but all are pretty close to the one pictured. The clear glass self-loop is on the back of the snake's head and will accommodate thin or thicker cords or chains.

Each snake measures approximately 1-1/16 inch wide (because of the curves) by just over 2-1/2 inches long.

The gummed adhesive is still quite good - it is water active, but, please use a sponge or other applicator to be safe. You might even choose to use another adhesive just in case.

This set of seals features six cute animals including a squirrel, a bunny rabbit, a chipmunk, a baby bear, a skunk and a raccoon.

Of course there is no mummy inside, but we think this a wonderful addition a shrine. And, it's also quite attractive on its own. It's style is that of antiquity, appearing that this might be thousands of years old. Alas, it is relatively new, having been made in the 1990s.

Although made in Egypt, the box also appears to be Mesoamerican in style as well. The images are universally ancient.

Each box is slightly different as every one has been painstakingly made by hand in the tradition of generations of metal workers. The approximate base measurement is 2-1/8 inch by 1 inch. The box depth is about 9/16 inch. The lid sits roughly on top of the be base and makes the entire box about 1 inch to 1-1/8 inch high.

We once lived in a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area called Squirrel Hill, so, you can be assured that we are quite fond of our bushy-tailed little friends. This card certainly tickled our fancy!

Each card is printed front-and back on Italian mould-made paper using an original design from a hand-carved linoleum black, then hand-finished with Austrian crystal rhinestones. The image was inspired by Art Deco design - the first truly international style that flourished during the 1920s and 1930s.

Created by Spotbear Productions, the card measures 3-1/2 by 5-1/4 inches and is accompanied by a matching envelope. The inside is blank for your own message.

Literally the title of this enchanting postcard is Whinny, but the photographers chose to translate it as Snicker. How much better that translation is!

Two artists, Ernst Volland and Heinz Krimmer, formed Voller Ernst with the aim of building the largest collection of quirky and funny photos. And, this is certainly one of those fantastic images as a postcard.

Zebras have the perplexing nature of appearing as a horse and being manifestly not a horse all at once. Their distinctive stripes are their camouflage against predators. Because of their stripes, the animals that hunt them have a difficult time distinguishing one zebra from the next.

But with in the herd, the stripes prove just the opposite - the stripe patterns are unique to each zebra - allowing their the other herd members to easily identify each other.

Because of these characteristics, zebras represent the ability to maintain individuality in groups and the ability of groups to support individuals. The duality of the stripes represents the integration of the opposites. Opposites are taught to children, and remembered by adults, to achieve deeper meaning of each side. Good is better understood when considered with evil.

I drew the inside of the boa constrictor,
so that the grown-ups could see it clearly.

Saint Francis of Assisi & the Wolf Medal

Saint Francis of Assisi & the Wolf Medal

More Medals, Amulets and Milagros

Beloved by even those who do not usually venerate the saints, St Francis of Assisi was not only known for his devotion to God, but also for his kindness to animals and his peacefulness for all creatures, including humans.

This traditional medal measures 1 inch high by 1/2 inch wide. It was made in Italy and is made of modern pewter (no lead). On the front, an image of the venerable Saint Francis and a wolf is portrayed in 3D. It measures On the back, the medal reads:

Pray for Us.

On the front,

Saint Francis

The story of St Francis and the Wolf is a great learning experience for all of us. Legend has it that St Francis was visiting a town that had been besieged by a wild wolf. Not only did the wolf kill the town's pets, but also livestock and other wild animals - and people. No one ventured past the town's boundaries for fear of being mauled or killed.

St Francis volunteered to go reason with the wolf and a local friar and some of the townspeople. Not everyone had the strength of belief in God's protection as did St Francis, so his entourage dwindled as he approached the forest.

Only he and the friar were left as the wolf charged from behind the trees, mouth open, ready to strike. St Francis made the Sign of the Cross, and, much to everyone's surprise, the wolf stopped in his tracks.

The saint explained to the wolf that he had been terrorizing the town, the animals, the people. He asked the wolf to make a pact with him to end such behavior and to become friendly with the humans, who were created in the image of God. Then, St Francis asked the wolf and the townsfolk to both agree to forgive the past and move on.

Unbelievably, the wolf moved towards St Francis and nodded his head. Then St Francis offered his hand and the wolf extended his front paw into the saint's hand. St Francis then invited the wolf to accompany him back to town. Meekly, the wolf agreed. St Francis, wolf at his side, entered the town and offered the people a lesson, taught by the wolf. He called upon the people to repent their sins and offered them peace amongst themselves and that other creature of God, the wolf.

The townspeople made a pact to keep the wolf fed and not to hurt him. In return, the wolf agreed to be peaceful as well. For two years, the wolf went from door to door, accepting food from the people of the town. Even the local dogs treated the wolf warmly, never barking.

The wolf's peaceful ways were a living reminder of the wonders of God and the patience, virtue and holiness of St Francis. When the wolf died of old age, he was mourned, but his memory was a reminder of the power and providence of the living God.

This lovely story may or may not be true, but certainly, we can see the wolf as a representation of the beloved animals in our lives.

This medal is just the right size to hang on your dog's collar or to wear on your bracelet or necklace as a reminder of the devotion of our pets to us.

PURITY - AID - PROGRESS

Alternatively, the PROGRESS is interpreted as PROSPERITY. The bottom of the image reads:

This striking Shiny Copper Milagro features an elegant stamping of beloved San Martin de Porres. Each milagro is hand-made and is approximately 1-1/2 inches wide by a bit over 2 inches tall and features a satin ribbon at the top.

San Martin was the illegitimate son of a Spanish nobleman and young freed black slave, Anna Velasquez. Rejected by his parents, he grew up in poverty and was cared for by a surgeon-barber from whom he learned to care for the infirm.

As a youngster, he began to work for the Holy Rosary Dominican Brothers in Lima, Peru. Because of his devotion to the poor and his other good works, he changed the nature of the Priory's rules and the brothers dropped the stipulation that "no black person may be received to the holy habit or profession of our Order”. San Martin took his vows in 1603.

He is well know for his creation of an orphanage and children's hospital. He also established a shelter for the stray cats and dogs and nursed them back to health.

San Martin is a beloved saint throughout the Americas. His followers are from all walks of life, all financial backgrounds and all races. Many miracles have been attributed to him.

San Martin is usually pictured with a broom, showing his willingness to work hard and with a dog, cat and mouse all eating from the same bowl. His austere lifestyle is venerated by many.

He is the patron of all races and particularly of mixed-race individuals. He is also patron to the poor, to public education and health care.

These stunning milagros (miracles) make the perfect accent for art projects as well as for their intended devotion in honor of San Martin.

Democrats, zoologists and animal lovers will adore this lovable little donkey with his perky ears and friendly expression. The vintage charm itself is ivory colored so you could really paint it if you like.

Whether our donkey is a jack (male) or jenny (female), it is so very sweet. Donkeys were endeared to Jesus Christ, who was often pictured riding one. Although they are work animals, many of them are treated as pets. Other religions are not as fond of the animal. Considering that the population of donkeys has grown tremendously over the last few years, we know they are hardy animals and are willing to please. Thomas Nast created a cartoon declaring the donkey to represent the Democratic political party in the USA (he also declared the elephant to represent the Republicans).

Our little fellow measures 1 inch from nose to tail and about 3/4 inch tall.

He was known for his love of nature and animals, especially birds.

These lovely holy cards are a bit lighter weight than some others we offer, but the printing is absolutely outstanding. They are a convenient size for use as gifts or bookmarks - measuring 3-1/8 by 4-5/8 inches on heavy cream-colored paper.

Sea otters are marine mammals native to the northern Pacific Ocean coastline. Believe it or not, some adults can weigh as much as 100 pounds! Sea otters can live and walk on land, but they seam happiest in the sea, where they feed on crustaceans and other coastline sea live. The largest of the weasel family (and one of the most charming members, too), sea otters are actually small when compared to other marine mammals. Their primary insulation (again different from other sea mammals) is their exceptionally thick fur coat - the densest of any animal!

Alexander Henry fabrics are known for their versatility and cutting edge designs. Their talented in-house artists paint each design by hand, and the company screen-prints the final product on 100% cotton. Fabric is 44 inches wide.

Much of the symbolism in Frida Kahlo's paintings can be seen throughout this gorgeous fabric. Her native Mexican culture was so prominent in her paintings and writings and that imagery translates beautifully into this high-quality fabric.

While there are no specific references or explicit renderings of her actual artwork here, it almost seems as though Frida herself created this fabric. Accentuated by the black background, the colors are deeply exotic, designed by Phillip de León and shows stylized depictions of Kahlo amidst jungle surroundings, with her beloved monkeys. There are exotic plants, flowers and native fruits and even some blue snakes!

Two excerpts from Frida's writings are also incorporated in a handwriting style close to her own:

Pies para qué las quiero, si tengo alas pa' volar.
(
Feet - what do I need them for if I have wings to fly?)

Tengo ganas a vivir. Ya comencé a pintar.
(
I desire to live. I have already begun to paint.)

The standardized size of each image might be just what you need for that special découpage project.

There is a polar bear, kangaroo, lion, ocelot, walrus, gazelle, water buffalo, camel, hyena, goat, rhinoceros, elephant, zebra, tiger, bison and beaver.

The scrap relief sheet is approximately 9 inches by 7 inches, ready for you to clip and use in your artwork. And each sheet is lightly embossed to accent the  images. This piece is extremely well trimmed with expert die cutting - so well done, that very little trimming is necessary.

These great little old-stock mechanical turtles arrived after a long hibernation in storage. Meant for the vending machines of the 1960s, these little fellows have a wiggly tail and head. They were probably only a penny (or at most a nickel) way back when a small coin could get a ton of loot for kids who knew where to look!

These are in great condition for their age, but be careful with them because they certainly weren't designed to last. There is a little loop hole on the bottom of each - so you can even turn one into a charm.

We've crated each one in a tiny reusable plastic case to protect him on his way to you. These are in assorted colors only - some are two-tone (head and tail one color and shell another) and some are all one color. There are so many variations, please let SilverCrow choose one for you.

We love chenille and these little squirrel boys are one of the reasons why! Old store stock figures like these are few and far to find, so we are full of ourselves when we find them. Each is sitting on a scalloped cardboard base, so they were probably birthday cake toppers or something of the kind.

Each little fellow measures about 4 inches tall with a hand painted spun cotton head. We think he is holding a spun cotton nut, but it doesn't look like an acorn.

Each one is in pretty great condition considering the age. We suspect they are from the 1950s or earlier. The chenille is a bit flat from storage and there is the occasional spot or crease in one of them. We've added a bit of paper grass and placed each one in a plastic display box, making him ever the more special!

None of these have been used for their intended purpose and they were together in a group when found.

Originally a Shredded Wheat premium, this zoo full of animals hails from the 1950s or 1960s. On the back of each of the animals is the animals name. There are all kinds here: bears,  wolves, birds, elephants and more! Each bag contains an assortment of a gross (144) individual plastic pieces. Each assortment is different.

Some of the animals come in several colors. These were originally intended as some sort of learning toy. On the back of each animal is the name molded into the plastic. When we inspected them all, we expected to find one animal for every letter of the alphabet, but no such luck. Not quite all of the letters were represented. But you can rest assured that you'll get a good mix!

Most of the little critters stand nicely on their flat bases. There might be a few that need a touch of trimming to stand properly. The back (except for the name) is flat. The front of each character is 3-dimensional and nicely detailed.

At less than 18¢ each, these are a bargain. We've seen them on eBay in smaller groups for much, much more!

Frida's Garden Fabric on Tea-Dye Background

More Fabric

More Frida

Alexander Henry fabrics are known for their versatility and cutting edge designs. Their talented in-house artists paint each design by hand, and the company screen-prints the final product on 100% cotton. Fabric is 44 inches wide.

Much of the symbolism in Frida Kahlo's paintings can be seen throughout this gorgeous fabric. Her native Mexican culture was so prominent in her paintings and writings and that imagery translates beautifully into this high-quality fabric.

While there are no specific references or explicit renderings of her actual artwork here, it almost seems as though Frida herself created this fabric. The colors are subtly exotic, designed by Phillip de León and shows stylized depictions of Kahlo amidst jungle surroundings, with her beloved monkeys. There are exotic plants, flowers and native fruits and even some blue snakes!

Two excerpts from Frida's writings are also incorporated in a handwriting style close to her own:

Pies para qué las quiero, si tengo alas pa' volar.
(
Feet - what do I need them for if I have wings to fly?)

Tengo ganas a vivir. Ya comencé a pintar.
(
I desire to live. I have already begun to paint.)

What wonderful things you can create with such fabric: book covers, quilts, tote bags, clothing, scarves, lampshades and more.

Cat & Fiddle Button

This vintage 1969 nursery rhyme wall plaque measures about 7 inches wide by 5-1/2 inches high. The whole story is here:

Hey-diddle-diddle
The cat and the fiddle.
The cow jumped over the moon;
The little dog laughed
To see such sport,
And the dish ran away
with the spoon.

This is old-store stock, unused and in great condition. The poem and the characters are raised from the plaque and are highlighted with golden accents. These were manufactured by Invicta Plastics and have lots of detailed information on the back regarding Invicta's company and locations. Some of these have the mounting tabs on the back that may or may not still be sticky. They were originally used to mount on the wall in a child's room - and would look great in a shadow box frame for a nostalgic touch.

The cow jumping over the moon is the delight of so very many children of all ages! The actual meaning is a bit fuzzy. Some say that it represents the rise of Richard III to power. Others suggest that it represents the constellations in the spring sky. Still others attribute the little poem to a description of Queen Elizabeth I and her good friend Robert Dudley, the Earl of Leicester. She often referred to him as her lap dog.

Included are an elephant, some clowns, the bandstand, a performing seal, a man on stilts, a unicycle, a trick horseback rider and more!

Each scrap relief sheet is approximately 9 inches by 6-1/2 inches. And each sheet is lightly embossed to accent the expert die cutting - so well done, that very little trimming is necessary.

Vintage Embossed Die Cut Chromolithograph Scraps - Animal Wannabes

More Scraps, Dresdens & Die Cuts

From the mid-20th century, super cute scraps feature animals in professions and activities normally reserved for their human friends. There are bears, birds, monkeys and more bowling, juggling, delivering the mail and playing the banjo. Artists, musicians and waiters and more, offer their more humorous side for inclusion in your artworks. We're not sure whether we wannabe the animals or if they wannabe human.

As with many of the scraps and die cuts made in the 20th century, these are children in adult situations. The advent of space exploration in the 1950s and 1960s, led to many products such as these. Rather than intricately die cut motifs, these are nicely expressed vignettes that are die cut into shapes - probably meant for découpage. We're particularly attracted to the colors in this production - there is a special tone that makes the scraps seem older than they even really are!

The scrap relief sheet is approximately 9 inches by 7 inches, ready for you to clip and use in your artwork. And each sheet is lightly embossed to accent. The shapes make these perfect for accenting boxes, pencil cups or other such items.

CAUTION:
Keep in cool place to prevent hatching....

Below the picture, it reads:

Best collection to show your friends...

The back flap (which is not sealed, reads:

Caution When Opening
TAPE HERE BEFORE MAILING

Inside is a gimmick that sounds like a rattler when you open the envelope flap. You can reset this again and again by simply twisting the washer so that the rubber band becomes twisted. Slide it back into the envelope and use it again.

This is an old-time joke from days gone by and is genuinely fun to show to  younger (and older) people who might never have seen it!

Please be careful when showing the joke - it may frighten someone. Be especially careful to avoid startling people with medical conditions.

Songs of Experience - Facsimile Reproduction

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry? . . .

One of Blake's most inspired creations, The Tyger mingles the lyric and mystical in an exquisite union. Now you can experience the beauty of this and other poems the way Blake intended them - with his own hand-colored illustrations giving them visual form.

This facsimile edition of one of Blake's celebrated Illuminated Books reproduces a collection of calligraphed poems, each enclosed in a masterful full-color illustration. Twenty-six plates reprinted from a rare 1826 etched edition include "London," " A Little Boy Lost," "Holy Thursday," "The Voice of the Ancient Bard" and other immortal verse. To enhance reading, the texts of all the poems are transcribed separately, following the plates.

Dynamic designs and simplicity of language convey Blake's vision of mankind and his condemnation of a wealthy society insensitive to poverty and unhappiness. Moreover, its universal themes make Songs of Experience just as poignant and profound today. Lovers of literature and fine art will want to add this faithful, inexpensive facsimile of an immortal classic to their libraries.

This charming softbound book measures 5-1/4 by 7 inches and has 48 pages, including the facsimile republication of 26 color plates from  Songs of Innocence and of Experience, 1826, and a complete printed text of the poems.

Unlike our small porcupine quills, these large ones are imported from Africa. The African porcupine often grows to the size of a small bear. His American relative is much smaller. These quills are gorgeous - from 6 to 12 inches long (most are around 7 to 9 inches).

As with all natural materials, each quill is unique. You can clip the ends and thread through the quill, use it to write by sharpening one end and using it as a dip pen. It would make a great spine base for binding an informal book or pamphlet.

We have even seen them sliced into sections and inlaid in furniture and frames. Because of their size, they also make lovely and unique chignon pins.

Please remember that these are gummed (not self-stick!) faux postes and not to be used to replace the true postage necessary for mailing!

Art Print - Soaring by Jonathan Meader

Bob Dylan says of artist Jonathan Meader

"I recommend him as being honest, forthright and of sound mind."

His art, created in his own name, and as his alter-ego, Ascian, is in countless private and public collections. Jonathan Meader has created this enigmatic print of two travelers off to see the worlds. Whether they are soaring to the sun or to the moon is for you alone to imagine. But, don't we wish we call could be along for the ride?

Our 8 by 10 inch mini poster of Soaring is printed on number 1-grade 10 point cover-weight paper, perfect for mounting or framing. It will fit in any standard 8 by 10-inch frame.

3D Note Cards - MC Escher - Reptiles

Close-Up

 

3D Note Card - MC Escher - Reptiles

The only way we can think to describe these is way cool! Working in much the same way as the Currier & Ives stereoviews of the past, these operate on the venerable principle of the stereopticon. The viewer does not use the 3D-TV Glasses with one blue and one red lenses. These cards, instead have a nearly identical image for each lens - and of course, there is a cut-out for your nose. You can even adjust the focus - just squeeze the folded-out card.

There's a space for a short message and the whole card folds flat for mailing in the envelope provided. Perfect for the occasion when a gift is too much and a card too little!

Dutch artist Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898-1972) was and is one of the world's most famous graphic artists. The left-handed artist is best known for his impossible structures and amazing three-dimensional woodcuts and drawings. He was consistently fascinated with congruency, perspective and technique: often spending hours experimenting.

This black and white card is a reproduction of his famous Reptiles tessellation, originally created in 1943.

Old-Fashioned Chenille Scrap Turkey Buddies

Chenille pipe cleaners have been used for crafting for ages! These little buddies are made to look old-fashioned with their scraps for their heads and tails. The rest of their bodies are fashioned from chenille wire and a hanging loop at top might even double for a napkin holder! They are dressed to the nines in top hats, and one of the fellows sports a banner, bearing their cry:

Gobble, Gobble

Use him to decorate your old fashioned holiday tree, or add him to a friend's package, so s/he might do the same. They make lovely table decorations for any turkey dinner (although they might not agree!)

Vintage Chenille Animals

Vintage Chenille Animal Figures

Now, we're not really sure why these were created in the first place, but they are definitely unique! Each package contains a set of four chenille animals: [what we think are] a lion, a cat, an elephant and a long-eared dog.

Each figure's body is constructed of vintage chenille and a waxy-paper face is glued on front. The colors vary, but are mostly earthy tones of rust, red and forest.

Use these as is for package decoration, embellished ornaments and whimsical additions to your artwork....But better still, remove the faces and replace with vintage holiday scraps for extraordinary results!

Finding vintage chenille stems (pipe cleaners) is difficult and can be very expensive! And reproducing the vintage feel is time consuming and results are not always satisfactory, so save time with these little fellows!

206 magnificent illustrations bring da Vinci's world to designers and crafters of the 21st century! An architect, sculptor, painter, inventor and engineer centuries ahead of his time, Leonardo da Vinci was the archetypical Renaissance Man.

This multifaceted overview of the celebrated genius' work, presented in both color and black-and-white, includes a splendid selection of his portraits and figures, along with detailed anatomical and scientific drawings from his many notebooks.

The images included are so varied, including paintings as well as famous drawings, such as his Vitruvian Man [see our Vitruvian charm] and many of his machines and animal drawings, including cats, dogs, bears, horses and even crabs!

The CD contains all of the images that are shown in the book along with silhouettes and details from them that are not shown in the book. Both high-resolution images and internet-ready resolution images are included on the CD.
