We just received new Zen wall vases from Water’s Edge Studios. Take a look at them. The artist is Terry Andrews from Florida. I met him at the American Craft Show in Orlando a few years back.
Terry uses glass and copper to create functioning vases. He hand blows the glass to fuse it to the copper. His pieces are warm and inviting with incredible colors.
Another new vase will be on the floor this weekend. It’s much larger than any others that we have had. Stop by this weekend and see these Zen wall vases in person. You’ll be glad you did.

Be the first to see Marge Lindeman’s new pieces…
Marge Lindeman just stopped by with these beautiful new pieces that she has been working on this winter. Be the first to take a look at them.
She loves to hand dye silk, cut, and stitch it for wall pieces. She also creates gorgeous silk scarves, which she hand paints. I have added a few of those for you to see here.
My favorite piece from Marge is her Essence of Stockholm. Come down this weekend and see her work in person. You’ll be glad you did.

See these new handcrafted, creative wall vases and shelves…
I fell in love with these new wall vases and wall shelves as soon as I saw them. They are handcrafted; many have beautiful inlay work; and these are really creative pieces. They are totally functional, too!
Remember the strum sticks that I introduced a couple of weeks ago? I took a video of two guests at Abode Gallery trying them for the first time today. Take a look.
Come and see these new creative wall pieces and try the strum sticks yourself. You’ll be glad you did.

Take a look at these stunning new pieces….
Jeff Boutin has several new pieces in the gallery. Take a look at two of them, the bright, sunflower-filled Early Riser and stunning Full of Flowers.
We just received a brand new line of lamps from Barbara Woods in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The lamps are made of pure silk. Barbara paints with archival inks and finishes the lamps with handmade ceramic bases. The lamps come in different sizes and have a character that I have not seen before.
Maria Kowalski has new pieces in the gallery, too. These smaller scale pieces can be used on a wall or a bookshelf. They are charming little oils, almost study pieces, including Maiden Rock in winter.
Come and see these new pieces and our other new stuff. You’ll be glad you did.

Try this beautiful, new piece…
For several years, I have been interested in bringing the strumstick to you. As music has increasingly become a part of Abode Gallery, I thought that now was a good time to introduce it. Check out this video on strumstick.
I found strumstick at the Philadelphia American Craft Show. Handmade from padouk, spruce, and maple, strumstick is beautiful in appearance and sound. I was drawn in by its elegance. It is a work of art as well as an instrument.
Having never played before, I discovered the claim that strumstick is an instrument for the musically disinclined to be true. After receiving the demo models in both the standard G and D grand, I have already learned between three and five songs. Click here to hear an intermediate person playing strumstick.
These are touch and play instruments. I invite you to stop by, try the demos, and find out more about strumstick. You’ll be glad you did.
