I flipped on the TV earlier today and stopped on a Travel Channel show. The program was exploring different areas of the world, particularly in the US, where Christmas is never white and always warm. During the show they interviewed random people who either live in or frequent various communities.

One of the communities they visited was San Antonio, Texas, where there is an annual holiday boutique. As it turned out, many of the shoppers were in search of holiday angels to give either as gifts to others or to purchase for their own home décor.

Angels are and have long been a symbol of the holidays and can be seen in stores, offices and homes everywhere. If you’re searching for the perfect gift, you may have found it in this gorgeous little baby angel figurine.

The auction on this piece reads, “Inspired by the great Italian painting and sculpture allegories which adorn cathedral ceilings, Lalique has created this mischievous winged Cherub, gracefully sculpted in stained crystal.”

“Now entering its third century, the Gorham hallmark has been recognized as a symbol of excellence. In a world of constant change, some things should never change ? like maintaining and, if possible, elevating the highest standards of workmanship. This is the commitment to the original founder’s principles that is shared to this day by the metalsmiths and crystal artisans who create beautiful and functional collections bearing the Gorham hallmark. The artists of Gorham continually dedicate themselves to an enduring legacy of artistic beauty and consummate craftsmanship.”

Mother’s Day is around the corner and a heart pendant seems a particularly appropriate gift to say thank you for a mother’s love. These are executed by “blue collar artist” Heins Brummel.

As a self taught, blue collar studio artist, I build things and design systems…
synthesizing the tradition of “old world” skills with the conceptual qualities, design vocabulary and formal requirements of “fine art”.

Essentially, precious and non-precious matter alchemize into exquisite objects that transcend and beg to redefine the idiom “jewelry” or personal adornment into the realm of art, big ideas manifested in small sculpture. Small sculpture in a macro world.
