Xenia Taler Nude Tiles

Under the capable hands of this Toronto native, ceramic tiles become bona fide art. Xenia Taler and her partner Steven Koblinsky craft square and circular tiles out of clay, mix vibrant glazes from scratch, and hand-paint each one with a simple yet gorgeous image — from birds and nudes to graphic dots and stripes.
This modern nude tile is reminiscent of earlier masterworks. A sketched line drawing with the crackle back drop, simple and beautiful. This tile can be displayed anywhere, pair it with another or let it stand alone. Either way it is sure to get noticed.
Every tile is entirely hand painted. Because each tile is individually handmade, appearance, variations in shade and color are inherent. Each comes equipped for wall hanging and has cork on the bottom so they can double as trivets. Comes with an artist’s biography, adding to its unique quality if giving this tile as a gift. see the rest of Xenia Taler's collection. This tile is a limited edition, once our stock is gone it will be no longer available. Handmade in Canada. Shop Xenia Taler Nudes on Arthousegifts.com .

Jewelry by Michael Bromberg

Check out this amazing pendant by jewelry designer Michael Bromberg. This locket style pendant makes a perfect Mother's Day gift idea.

A most charming three piece heart hangs together from a single hand forged sterling loop. One of the three hearts is made up of a beautiful filigree bonsai tree, a symbol for meditation and being with nature. The opposite side is a heart with the word love nestled inside the heart. The lovely center heart is a two sided frame, designed to fit two photographs of loved ones.
This pendant has no designated front or back so it is perfect to keep two family groups together. It comes on a 16" sterling silver chain. This locket comes with an artist's story card. Handmade in the USA by Michael Bromberg. See more handcrafted jewelry by Michael Bromberg at Arthousegifts.com.

Amy Meya

Amy Meya was inspired to create her ceramic bird tiles when she and her children planted giant sunflowers outside their dining room window. When the sunflowers grew tall, they attracted sparrows, cardinals and goldfinches.
Like a painting, each piece is created individually, the clay her canvas, the glaze her paint. As a painter must prepare the canvas, Amy must also prepare the slab of clay by adding texture. Amy textures the tile with rolling pins that she makes out of clay, sea shells or other natural texture makers. The birds are created by pinching a hollow bird form and then closed by using large sea shells to form the wing feather texture and underbelly and back texture.

Amy Meya's tiles are amazing, no two are ever exactly alike. The photo images cannot capture the true beauty of Amy Meya’s work. Each handcrafted tile comes complete with the artists story card. Shop for Amy Meya Wall Art. Shop for more unique gift ideas and home decor at www.arthousegifts.com.
