Hi again!
We've been busy here at The Island Gallery and not posting to our blog as often as we should, so we're happy to announce that in January, 2013, we plan to publish our Gallery Picks Newsletter right here on the blog. We instituted an e-mail-only Picks publication last September, and in upcoming days we're going to play catch-up and repost the older publications here (September, October, November and December, 2012). As other events come up, like First Friday Artwalks, musical presentations, and special sales, we'll be blogging with greater frequency. So please stay tuned!
Here's a quick Holiday Sampler of items currently available in the gallery, as presented in The December, 2012 Newsletter. To go to the actual webshop listing, click on the item's name beneath its photo.
Gallery Picks: December 2012, #1

Everyone’s favorite holiday ornaments, Ted’s pomegranate is a relative
of his famous golden pear, chosen as one of “O” Magazine’s
must-have Christmas items in 2002. Here’s the amazing story:
Busy creating beautiful art glass pieces in his one-man studio on
Ted had an agent who would take his work to the big
ornaments. They bought some and took them to show Oprah, who fell in love with
them and decided to put them on the “O” List in the next Christmas issue of her
magazine. They neglected to mention this to the artist until a week before the
magazine came out, and warned that the exposure might bring in extra sales.
Ted spent the entire following year filling 10,000-plus back orders.
Ahh, the power of media! Once he recovered, Ted went on to produce a full
line of ornaments, including various fruits and vegetables, pine cones, snowmen,
and even lumps of coal for the naughtiest amongst us. We have a fine selection in
the gallery, ready to hang on the tree, use as party favors and gifts, or to layer
in a big glass vase for a dramatic holiday display.
$20.00/30.00 each

A beautiful piece of cedar receives a dramatic treatment.
Black steel I-beams sunken into either end of the live-edge
slab give this bench a modern vibe in - shall we say -
a neo-industrial way, a style as comfortable in a
mansion as in a refurbished warehouse, or whichever
particular castle you call home.
$2,450.00
