Lil Beastees - Our Kids Love THEM!

If you haven't yet treated your little one to a Lil' Beastees tee shirt - we want to encourage you to do so. The cotton tee shirts are super soft, the colors great and the animals precious. Our kids reach for their Lil' Beastees tee shirts over and over again.

Plus, you'll be supporting another Mom in Business, artist and creator of Lil' Beastees, Alison Seda Ellis.

We are so fond of her, her entrepreneurial spirit and her giving heart.

Exclusive to SilverChicks - Lariat Necklaces made with Kazuri Beads

New and exclusive to SilverChicks are our lariat style necklaces or lassos as some of friends call them. During the summer of 2007, when we went to Ethiopia, we had 10+ volunteers for Ethiopia Reads along for the ride when we went to the bead shops - they were our test market audience and they LOVED the lariats - we think you will, too.

This lariat was hand made in Ethiopia with our design specifications. It features hand forged Ethiopian silver beads and is accented by gorgeous black and whitie Kazuri beads. Kazuri beads are hand made, hand painted ceramic beads that are manufactured at a women's cooperative in Kenya.

We love the versatility of a lariat - this one measures 30 inches long. The second picture is an example of how you can wear these gorgeous lariats.

Joy! - Fabulous Three Strand Kazuri Necklace by Aziza

Another beautiful "boutique-chic" creation by Aziza!

Feast your eyes on this lovely three strand necklace, and then imagine it accenting one of your outfits - either casual or dress. Wouldn't it change the look and probably the evening? Everyone will be dying to know where you found such an amazing necklace!

This necklace is comprised of fabulous pieces.

The 20 mm beads are Kazuri beads, which are hand made, kiln fired and hand painted by a women's co-operative located in the suburbs of Nairobi, Kenya. So, you are not only enhanced by this piece -- you are helping support other women in the world.

The rondell beads between the Kazuri (perfect match, isn't it?) are hand blown lamp work beads and connecting all of this beauty are cleary czech light blue bi-cone crystals.

Finishing the piece is a silver clasp from Thailand and the accent pink beads at the top of each necklace are vintage Japanese 8 mm dimple beads from the 1950's.

The longest strand of the necklace measures 24 inches and the shortest strand measures 18 inches.

Enjoy the view of this necklace and share it with all of your friends.

Christopher Cart Working on Mural for Brunswick, Maine

A brief piece of news from Artist Chris Cart from Maine - see what he has been up to!

I have two big murals I am working on and the galleries are doing great --- One mural is for downtown Brunswick…you can see more here>>> www.brunswickmural.com .

About the mural
The Brunswick-Trinidad Sister City Association is sponsoring the creation of this public outdoor mural. The artist Christopher Cart (the author here) has been hired to design this 8 x 32 foot mural as a celebration of the cultural exchange between the two cities of Brusnwick, Maine and Trinidad, Cuba. The mural is also a public project involving people from the community.

Mural is being painted at 11 Pleasant Street, Brunswick, Maine, on the third floor.

I have been designing the mural and I will also be painting. But more than that I will be acting as teacher, director and tyrant (well hopefully not too tyrannical) as the mural progresses, instructing those from the community who wish to participate. There is much to be done for many hands of many skill levels.

If you wish to participate or contribute to the mural project please contact me at: paintings@cartgalleries.com or to contribute to the ongoing fundraising please contact Susan Weems at: susanweems@gwi.net
