Ketubah Easel

The Ketubah was perhaps the first prenupital agreement. We made this one as a wedding gift. The picture easel is quite small, only about 10” high.

Frame Letter Rack

The frame is ours, but of course the card is Mary Engelbreit’s. Picture frames and letter racks from Ornae have been popular, we’ve made more than a hundred, all gone.

Footstool

This is a little piece from a guest artist, one of our children painted the top of this footstool when he was quite young.

  1. Hello you wonderful people.

    Just found you and absolutely love and adore your work. I am so overjoyed, you have given me ideas to go with my paintings. So nice to see such colours and fun and enjoyment. I developed a style which I thought was for children in very Clarice Cliff colours (is that how you spell her name?)totally unintentionally till various pointed it out to me, that Now want to transfer the tiny piccies into big ones with brightly coloured frames.

    Thank you thank you.

    Best regards

  2. Hi Katie, thanks for the kind words, and the hint about C. Cliff. Had a look at some of Clarice’s work and I see the resemblance to our own. What sort of subjects are you doing “for children”, in miniatures?
