If you or a dear friend or family member decorate in Adirondack - you will appreciate Steve's work of Adirondack pictures and birch bark picture frames.

Original Signed Watercolor Paintings

Special Edition (Giclee) Prints, signed and numbered

Limited Edition (Giclee) Prints, signed and numbered

What are Giclee Prints and why are they so collectible?
The word Giclee is a French word meaning "to spray". A Giclee print is the highest quality print available today. The process is digital printmaking with a printer that uses minute droplets of archival ink to create prints that cannot be duplicated by other printing techniques. Because there is no visible dot screen pattern the result image has all the subtle tonalities of the original art and are proofed and finalized by the artist eye. This produces exceptional museum quality prints for the art collector. His limited edition and open edition Giclee prints are printed on an archival watercolor paper with archival pigment inks, which are designed for longevity and beauty.

Original Art Greeting Cards (Blank on the inside)

Original Art Bookmarks

Original Art Gift Cards

Briscoe's original art paper items are normally sold at fairs, festivals and markets.

Getting Close to That Time -

Well everyone - we have one month before the showing. Almost daily I receive applications from our talented local artisans. Deadline is April 9 - and then I can start the floor planning. I am very excited about this and have nearly 40 artisans participating in this show. My goal was 50 and it seems like it will be close. It's going to be fantastic!

Temple of Tools Woodworking

Kick off the spring and summer season making a purchase of some roasting sticks from Darrell Altizer's beautifully well crafted woodwork. I am sure you will love his potting stands - can also be used for an nice end stand adding a special touch to a chair or used as a display stand. Darrell makes many wooded items such as children rocking chairs, stick horses, nutcrackers along with the roasting sticks. All ages would love to roast hot dogs and marshmallows with this stick!

Bonnie's Best Jams & Jellies

Bonnie Gonyo makes many original berry flavors as well as delicious mixed flavors of wild berry jams and jellies. You can find her display not only at our Spring Fling Craft Show but CheckerHills and opening soon - the local farmer's markets - such as Plattsburgh's Farmer's Crafters Market - opening May 15 - 2010. You will not want store bought jellies again!

Catspurrfection

For the must have cat accessories you must check out Valerie Greenon's display of beautifully done catnip mats, toys and pillows, kitty kickers and beds. All hand made and well done to look lovely in your home and fulfill your cat's needs. Those who love to spoil "kitty" will love this display and will need to take something home.

The Treasure Trove

Sue Armstrong of The Treasure Trove will be attending our show and she will have a lovely display of original jewelry, wooden signs and fabric art. She tells me a percentage of the sales goes to help the Haiti people - beautiful job.
