2013 USPS POSTAL RATES INCREASED :(
Published: 01-19-2013 05:50pm
I wanted to share the unfortunate postal increases. I only charge my customers what I pay the postal service. I ship priority worldwide. Usa postal service I include a free tracking number with priority. Although the increase is unfortunate There is nothing as sellers or buyers that can be done. I always search via ups, usps and fed ex to see what is the best rates and USPS is the cheapest. I apologize in advance. I will always do what I can to make every purchase a wonderful one. Each order comes with a free gift that usually is worth what you purchased or more. I love creating and sharing. I promise to send you top quality handcrafted items. ... » Read More

About the Art
Maurice
Utrillo painted Post-Impressionism cityscapes and was attracted by ordinary
houses and suburban churches. These themes, associated with painters such as
Daumier, Pissaro and Caillebotte, became Utrillo's chief source of inspiration,
but he soon turned to a more ambitious subject—cathedrals. He was concerned with
the development of an ordered composition and a flattened treatment of space

Called
Boreas after the north wind in Greek mythology, the work shows a young girl in a

"In wind-blown draperies of slate-colour and blue, a girl passes through a
spring landscape accented by pink blossom and daffodils".The
reappearance of Waterhouse's Boreas in the saleroom in the mid 1990s caused a
sensation as it had been lost for 90 years. Since then, the picture's
whereabouts have been unknown and it was referre... » Read More

Description: The focal clay and filigree art bead is several mediums in one, a bronze flower filigree base, beautiful orange polymer clay petals, lovely beadcaps and orange sculpted petals around a golden ball base. To compliment the piece I looked at the art for awhile and thought leafs of all colors of metals, bird wings, gorgeous presious stones. So I added a bronze linked chain, decorated the... » Read More
Joining The Artfire Team was the best choice For me
Published: 02-13-2012 04:51pm
Hello, If your considering Joining Artfire, Please Read. I started buying on Artfire in October 2011. Loved that you dont have to be a member to buy. I know alot of people dont like having to join to make purchases. After I started creating myself I opened an Etsy shop. I noticed you cannot promote anything there, So many restrictions and rules. Not that its a really bad thing, I can see part of it. But I didnt join Artfire then because of the monthly fee. After awhile of selling on Etsy a fellow artist asked me to Join Artfire, Jen from Artmakersworld. here on Artfire. She explained the advantages. One low monthly fee, free listings, and you get ... » Read More
