This gorgeous artwork will be hanging with my other nautical pieces at an enchanting, lakefront store, Noble, in Lexington, Michigan.  Nobel’s partner asked me to design and create several original pieces, all in the nautical theme, specifically for his lakefront store. This is the first, of more, commissioned pieces yet to be created. Please let me know if you have a design you’d like me to create for that special someone or occasion. Or, an original design made just for you.

If you’ve never been to Lexington, visit there soon. The quaint shops combined with warm summer days are exactly how the dog days of summer should be spent. What’s your favorite summer memory? Walk the decks and check out the yachts.

Welcome to my Rorschach Hamsa. You don’t have to be a psychiatrist to see the image. But it might help.

I designed this hamsa, which is supposed to ward away the ‘evil eye’, with a big smile. The profile faces the east. See the eye? The nose? The smile? If not, then don’t worry. The hamsa will bring only good luck to those who hang this piece in their eastern window. Why is this hamsa smiling?  That’s  my interpretation. What do you see?
