Mini Hand-Made Tin Heart With an Angel Ornament
More Ornaments
More Angels
More Love & Valentines
First, these tin ornaments are cut and then hammered. Well, sometimes they are hammered and then cut. The hammering creates the embossed design within the ornament - the heart, the angel and the angel's wings. Then the ornament is painted with vibrant paints or inks.
The heart features an angel atop the heart, perhaps protecting your love. It measures not quite 5 inches high by 4-1/4 inches wide. There is a hole at the top for you to hang this on your wall on a nail. Or, add a ribbon and hang it that way - either on a wall or a holiday tree.

Handmade Puffy Flying Heart Ornament
More Hearts & Valentines
Gorgeous ornaments like these can only be made by hand. Created from clay, wood and papier mâché, each is different from the next because of the craftsmanship.
The hearts may be blue, purple, pink or another bright color and wings are vibrant and accented in glitter. The central heart measures 1-7/8 inch wide by 2 inches long. At the top center of every heart is a hanging loop.
Wingspan is 5-1/4 inches. The wings are adorned alike on both sides. On each heart is a central flower accented by leaves and filigree and a touch of sparkly glitter. Such painting is in the colonial style and is treasured world wide. It is interesting how this manner of painting resembles North American tole painting as well as Central European folk painting, bringing the world closer through shared artistic styles. The heart back is a solid color.
Colors are all bright, but may vary slightly.

Gorgeous Vintage Aquamarine Glass Intaglio Cabochon of the Taj Mahal
More Components
More Valentines & Hearts
This lovely transparent aquamarine glass intaglio cabochon features an image of the Taj Mahal that has then been highlighted with a silver foil application. The piece measures 11/16 inches on all sides and features faceted rounded corners. The depth of the piece is just a smidgen over 1/4 inch. The image is lovely on either side, but glorious on the aqua side, which would normally be considered the top, which is smooth. The underside has been cut to create the intaglio and then foiled with silver for the reflective effect.
The Taj Mahal is considered one of the most beautiful buildings in the world by all cultures. Built as a memorial and mausoleum for the third (and favorite) wife of Shah Jahan in Agra, India, the building took over 16 years to complete. Mumtaz died during the birth of their 14th child, Gauhara Begam. The grounds and out buildings took another 5 years to complete.
Built in 1632 by Shah Jahan in Agra, India, it is a memorial and the mausoleum for his third (and favorite) wife, Mumtaz. She died during the birth of their 14th child, Gauhara Begam.
Long associated with deep and everlasting love, the Taj Mahal has become endeared to many around the world.
Intaglios are engraved, pressed or incised into gemstones or glass. The design is carved or pressed into the surface, and sinks below the surface. It is the opposite of a cameo - where the background is carved away, leaving the design as a relief on top. Intaglios have been made since Babylonian times and were used in printmaking as well as in jewelry.
Two intaglios are shown to illustrate front and back.

How to Speak Fluent Lovey-Dovey in 11 Languages in 24 Hours

Prepare yourself for world-class flirting. The French purport to be one of zee most romantic cultures, but my honey bunny, did you know that their terms of endearment include mon petit chou (my little cabbage) and ma puce (my flea)? Or that in El Salvador, lovers call each other gordita (fatty) and like it?
All over the world, people in love call each other the strangest things. Now these curious sweet nothings have been collected in this charming book, How to Speak Fluent Lovey-Dovey in 11 Languages in 24 Hours.
Thematically organized (animal, vegetable, huh?) and hand lettered/illustrated/designed by the author, this book is your passport to fluency in the international language of love (i.e. French, Spanish, Czech, Russian, Portuguese, Afrikaans, Polish, Japanese, Hebrew, English, German and Karenese!).
Karen's first lovey-dovey name was Karoness--or at least that's how it sounded when she was 8. She was really being called "Karen S." because there were 3 Karens in her school class. Karen always liked being Karoness. It made her feel shnazzy. Sadly, at age 12, she was returned to mere Karen status when the other Karens switched schools.
You'll have a lot of fun with this silly soft-back book. It's 64 fun pages are full of cute names and pictures.

Of course this is perfect for your beloved, or your daughter, son, or anyone you love a lot!

DIY Scalloped Oval Heirloom Locket
DIY Square Heirloom Locket
We can't tell you how enamoured we are with this lovely locket. Created from antique glass and sterling silver, each locket features a swiveling bail. Not only can you can view the contents from either side, but you can spin the locket right on the chain so you can feature either side as you wear it!
Simply unscrew the locket from the top to place your items inside. You might use two photographs, or a locket of hair, pressed flowers, a memento or a small bit of a billet-doux, some watch parts, a charm, or whatever you can imagine. And, you can change your contents at any time if you wish, creating a new necklace immediately.
The sterling silver sides make the the pendant vintage inspired and will accent your contents nicely. We love the trapezoid shape - it resembles vintage perfume flaçons. Because the glass is antique, it has a faint greenish tint that might slightly alter the look of your locket's contents, but we have found the antique nature of the glass to add a certain je ne sais quoi to the piece.
Because each is hand made and the glass is antique, no two lockets are exactly alike, but all are wonderfully like the one we have pictured above. The pendant measures about 1 inch long by about 1 inch wide at the widest point. The bail adds an additional 3/8 inch (making the entire piece about 1-3/8 inch long). It is about 3/8 inch from front to back.
We have also included a 24-inch 2mm sterling silver ball chain necklace. It is long enough to slip over your head so you needn't unhook the catch. To shorten it, simply snip with strong scissors and reattach the ball-chain clasp.
Each necklace will arrive in a soft flannel anti-tarnish pouch to protect the sterling silver. We're sure you'll fall in love with this wonderful piece as we have.

Pink Feather Tree
Old-fashioned spun cotton mushrooms have graced Christmas trees, corsages and other items for decades. These lovely amanita mushrooms are created of spun cotton and made by the same family business that made the vintage red and brown mushrooms we offer. The company has really gone out of business, but agreed to make some of these gorgeous pink mushrooms especially for the American trade.
These new stock mushrooms measure about 3/4 inch from the bottom of the stem to the top of the cap and could very easily pass for the vintage ones as the technique is exactly the same.
The pink caps are hand stained to look real (if there really are pink mushrooms, that is). They are are highly lacquered and are dotted with little white spots - just like the real mushrooms! The stems are wire wrapped in light green paper.
These pretty mushrooms might really be toadstools, not to be eaten in the wild - and, our spun cotton version should not be eaten either! It is rumored that Santa's reindeer pranced around in a flying frenzy after eating these little beauties, allowing them to help Santa travel throughout the world and deliver presents.
Maybe the Easter Bunny had his eye on these, too! Why else would he start passing out eggs?
Amanita mushrooms are considered good luck in many cultures, especially in Germany. You'll often see them pictured with gnomes, elves and fairies in children's literature.
We love them for St Valentine's Day projects. Wouldn't they be stunning on a Pink Feather Tree?

Vintage Plastic Love Birds Component in Dark Seafoam

Plastic and composition pieces were major components in jewelry in the mid-20th century. Probably beginning around the 1930s and 1940s. They were popularized by Hollywood heroines and continue to be popular for their stylized design and kitschy colors.
We just love the deep seafoam color of this wonderful piece. Two birds are joined on a hibiscus branch with a single flower between them. An open circle is prominent in the piece, allowing you to add a link or chain to make this focal point into a necklace. You might also choose to add a pinback to make a simple and lightweight brooch.

Frida Kahlo Heart Shaped Retablo
More Frida
These are really special! In fact, there are some hanging in SilverCrow's atelier! These are very special Frida Kahlo Retablos hand made and hand painted with a cool little image of Frida on metal right in the middle surrounded by milagros. Every one of these has been made individually by folk artists in Mexico. On most, the base is hand-painted wood with cut and hammered tin accents and finished with several milagros representing important images in Kahlo's art.
But, the focal point of each piece is the image of Frida on tin, based on one of her self-portraits. Each item is uniquely handmade. They measure approximately 4 inches high and wide. SilverCrow has never seen any two! So, please let us choose one for you.

Reversible Claddagh Token
More Pocket Tokens
More St Patrick's Day & Other Irish Things
Cast in pewter, this simple pocket charm features an elegantly cast claddagh image - the heart, hands and crown, encircled by a lovely Celtic knot design.
On the reverse, it reads:
Friendship, Loyalty, Love
The symbol of the claddagh is well over 300 year old and was originally developed as a ring. There are so very many symbols held within the image itself. And, when worn as a ring, it has many more.
This pocket token features the heart - for love, the hands for friendship and, the crown represents loyalty. Originally, the heart was a stone and with a hand on either side of the heart, it represented the vast oceans that may come between loved ones. Of course, the Celtic circle around the the perimeter of each side of the token represents endless nature or eternity.
What a lovely gift for someone whom you hold dear to your heart. The token measures about 1-1/4 inch in diameter

The wooden base is a shabby chic cream with a hint of white and measures about 3 inches.
This would be gorgeous with white and pastel ornaments for Valentine's Day, Easter or even Christmas.

Vintage Eureka St Valentine's Day Seals - Booklet of 36
More Vintage Stickers & Seals
From new old stock, we have a stapled booklet of 36 fun and romantic Valentine seals. There are six different die cut designs per page. These are gummed seals - they won't stick unless water activated. They were originally intended to be licked, but because these are vintage and have been stored, we think it best to use a damp sponge or envelope moistener.
These seals are from Eureka, a classic holiday decoration company. We expect that these hail from the 1960s.
Two booklets are shown for illustration.

Glove Shaped Nicho Frame with Heart Window
More Nichos
If you just want to frame a meaningful quotation, or the picture of your beloved, you might not want to use a traditional nicho. Because this lovely tin piece features a shallow area for your additions, this might be just the perfect nicho frame for you. The glove shape represents protection and concern - as though you are holding your memory in your hand. And the heart window expresses the love with which you treasure what is inside.
A self-loop on the back will help hang this lovely frame on your wall or you might even choose to add it to a larger shrine. The tinwork is very lovely and deeply embossed for a special look. It measures approximately 6-1/2 inches from wrist to tip of finger and about 3 inches wide at the widest point (from the thumb). The heart window is made of glass and is firmly attached to the tin. It measures about 1-3/4 inch wide by about 1-3/4 inch high and is shaped as the heart. To add your treasure, simply slip it into the slot behind the glass.
Each of these frames is made by traditional tinsmiths in the folk art tradition of the nicho, with a modern flair as a frame. Because of that there will be some variation, so please let us choose one for you.

Vintage Red Fabric Mask
More Masks
More Vintage Stuff
We love the fabric masks from the 1950s. They were made with cotton or linen fabric and stiffener and molded over mask models for their shape. Masks made today are usually plastic - and even the fabric ones feature plastic bases. Not so with these!
This cherry red mask is just what you need for a harlequin or cupid costume. You might even consider it for Valentine's Day!
The mask arrived without elastics, which is just as well considering the elastic was made of rubber and would probably have deteriorated right onto the masks. So we've added a 10-inch barbed white elastic for you to add yourself - if you chose to wear the mask or place it on an art doll or mannequin. The barbs are made of metal and slide easily through the pre-punched holes in the masks. The elastic is wrapped in fabric thread for comfort, making it easier on the wearer's hair!
These are vintage masks, so you might want to test them to be sure that you have no allergy to the adhesive.
Two masks are shown to illustrate front and back.

Silvery Anatomical Heart Charm
What a perfect way to show your love: with an anatomical heart charm. We found it quite interesting that this little charm also resembles a pierced heart milagro. It reminds us that Cupid might send his arrow inside and out!
Measuring about 5/8 inch from side to side and top to bottom, this little heart is about 1/8 inch thick and, although it is not reversible, it is attractive when seen from either side.

Art Postcard - Celebration, 1945
More USA
More Peace
This is not the famous photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt on V-J Day (August 14, 1945) in New York City. But, it might well have been. Much of the pose is the same, only the background is different. It may have been taken by Eisenstaedt himself as one of a series, or it might have been a photo by a passer-by taking the same shot from a slightly different spot. In any case, we're not sure if the subtle difference is as important as the messages of the day: Victory, The War is Over, Peace.
There are so many reasons to use such a postcard - a save-the-date for a military wedding, a valentine, a message of peace, a memory of the year, the day, the generation.

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.

Smashed Penny Good for a Hug and a Kiss!
More Smashed Pennies - Lord's Prayer and Serenity Prayer
Coins like these have many names, but our favorite is smashed pennies, aka elongated pennies and pressed pennies. The first elongated penny was created for the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus during 1892-1893. There are some who believe that there were such coins produced earlier, but the experts have singled this celebration as the beginning.
A smashed penny is is made by forcing a penny (or other coin) through two steel rollers. There is an engraving on one of the rollers (sometimes both sides). A crank (mechanical or electronic) forces the coin through the rollers and squeezes it with extreme pressure. This smashes the coin from round to ...you guessed it...elongated. The pressure pushes the engraving into the penny at the same time it is smashing it.
We've been collecting these since we were children, and now our grandchildren collect them, too. Made from shiny pre-1983 pennies, there is a higher copper content than if created with today's pennies.
This special little penny will make your sweetheart (present or potential) smile, for sure. It reads.:
Good for a Hug and a Kiss Anytime ... Anywhere xxx ooo
There are several little hearts impressed into the penny, too!
Because they are smashed in the process of impressing the message, these souvenir pennies are super thin, yet sturdy. The new oval shape measures about 1-5/16 long and about 13/16 wide. This makes a wonderful keepsake for your wallet or pocket. And, it's a lovely little token to give to your beloved.

SilverCrow offers our magenta Krausbouillion in generous 1/2-ounce packages. Although silver Krausbouillion is the traditional color used in most older European ornaments, we think that you'll be able to fashion some wonderful newer ornaments with this wonderful pink crinkle wire - especially for Valentine and any other projects celebrating love and romance.
The original Krausbouillion is made in Germany and Austria. Ours is made by a modernized process that plates copper wire, so it is less expensive. It's quite beautiful and lends old world elegance to any project.

Each mini (about 2-1/2 inches high and 1-1/2inches wide) shrine is made from a tiny box (may be just about any sort) set atop a small base. You can add some velcro to the bottom so it will sit tight on your dashboard during crazy rush hour traffic. This simple but elegant shrine features an image of an anatomical Heart, with the words El Corazón underneath, from an embellished Loteria Card.
Hopefully this will protect you from crazy drivers and slippery roads! Or, position one in your office or private space for special moments of contemplation and serenity.
Each is designed, hand-painted and hand-assembled by Los Mestizos and will fit in the tightest spot needing a shrine. And, each is an individual and special work of art - no two are the same.

Handmade Mini Tin Heart with Blank Banner
More Shrines & Shrine Supplies
Our larger heart with banner is so popular, that we were delighted to find these mini ones! These wonderful heart banners are just fabulous for presenting a personalized gift. Simply create your own personal message in pencil on the banner and then complete it with a marker or paintbrush. There is a little pin built in on the back of the heart as it was originally designed as a brooch. But we like to use them in making shrines, nichos, etc.
It is really difficult to see the three-dimensional effect of this wonderful piece. It measures about 3 inches from top to bottom and about 2-3/4 inches across. Of course, each is different, as each is hand made one at a time and the style may vary slightly from the one you receive.

Golden Dresden Ornament Base
This wonderful heavy-weight golden dresden base is just what you need to create old-fashioned paper ornaments for Christmas, Valentine's Day and more. Add a little scrap picture with a dab of glue to the center (or even a Victorian-style sticker), maybe a few pieces of angel hair or krausbouillion and you'll create a brand new heirloom!
The base of the ornament measures about 3-1/4 inches in diameter (from one point to the opposite). The loop on top is for hanging and adds about 1/4 inch more. This lovely Dresden is golden on both sides and is weighty enough to be the base for a complex design.
The embossing on these reliefs is superb, as is the cutting. These are made in the same fashion as they have been for many, many decades!

Art Postcard - Your Future Wife
In the style of Arcade Cards of old, this great postcard makes a wonderful prediction. Arcade Cards like these were all the rage in the early to mid-20th century - everyone would just love a glimpse of the future. The comments are always double-entendres, hinting at your love life. So, husbands-to-be, here is YOUR FUTURE WIFE and future child:
YOUR FUTURE WIFE will be an artist. She will like your "profile" and say "yes." You will then become her "model." She is a lover of "still life" but should you forget your "manly graces" and become an "animated cartoon" there is liable to be a "bust." That one little statute of yours may look rather smudgy, but you will love it all the more.

In the style of Arcade Cards of old, this great postcard makes a wonderful prediction. Arcade Cards like these were all the rage in the early to mid-20th century - everyone would just love a glimpse of the future. The comments are always double-entendres, hinting at your love life. So, wives-to-be, here is YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND and your future children:
YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND will be an aviator, a high flier and a champion parachute jumper. No use taking your roller skates or mad money when you go joy-riding with him because you can't get out and walk. If he should go into a "tail spin" you can pull a "side slip." You should wear a parachute because he will keep you up in the clouds most of the time, but you will be happy with your two eaglets.

Vintage Lenticular "Winky" Lips
We've always enjoyed lenticular (winky, blinky, flicker) images - especially the vintage ones. We were just so very excited when we found these vintage Vari-Vue lenticular lips that vary from a smile to a kiss!
Use them for your art dolls to ad a kitschy flavor to them. Or just collect them like we do! Lenticular images like these (3d composition screens) were made a bit differently during the mid part of the 20th century - providing what we think is a much better 3D image.
The colors of the printed image are amazingly vibrant considering that these winky lips are almost a half-century old!
Our sample photo doesn't do our lips justice - the variation is delightful as the smile turns to kiss, or, of course, the kiss changes to a smile!

Hand made in Mexico of Alpaca silver, the stamped and embossed detail is just fabulous!
This lovely piece is made of Alpaca silver (also known as German silver). It is an alloy of copper, nickel and zinc (and contains little or no true silver). This keeps it from tarnishing or rusting, but it might dull over time and need a polishing. Please consider that it may cause a reaction to those who may be sensitive to nickel.

There is nothing wrong in kissing once: it's the second time that counts from The Spanish Jade by Maurice Hewlett

Each is different (but the painting and design are similar) as the ornaments are wrought by artisans who treasure the artistry of generations of Mexican craftsmen. The ornaments are about 6-1/2 inches wide, but, because they are handmade, they will vary somewhat in size.

Art Postcard - Les Amants
René Magritte was, as an artist, an accomplished technician. His special juxtapositions of the ordinary within the unusual context quite often surprises the viewer. At first you might love one of his works and momentarily, despise it. Or, vice versa - you'll ignore or dismiss an image that may then become essential in your collection.
The vision of this set of lovers sets so many questions forward: are they real? are they secret lovers? are they hiding something from each other? You can only add more questions to these.
This art postcard has been printed elegantly, so that you might own this image for yourself.

Milagro Hearts Woodblocks
More Stamps of Other Types
Hand carved woodblocks have been the traditional means of printing in Nepal for centuries. Even today, prayer books in Himalayan Buddhist monasteries are printed from such blocks.
Handheld tools are carefully used to cut the designs out of "sisau", a type of cedar. Lokta paper handmade from the bark of the Daphne tree is traditionally harvested so that the tree may regenerate.
To print, simply press your woodblock onto the inkpad provided (or one of your own). Then on a padded surface (for example on a pile of newspapers or several layers of cloth), place a piece of lokta paper and firmly press the woodblock. Gently rock the block in all directions to achieve a clear print.
A description of the hearts and milagros accompanies the set, too.
