I create pysanky using the traditional Ukrainian technique of writing on eggshell with hot beeswax, then dyeing the egg in various colors. After the final color, the wax is removed and the egg is varnished to protect the dyes. I use various sizes of eggs, ranging from quail to rhea, all emptied and thoroughly cleaned. I create eggs in both traditional and contemporary designs, and can create custom designs for special occasions. 281-543-8020 www.eggsbyMarilyn.com

Frilled and Feathered - Kristen Kramlich
Unique hand forged jewelry and one of a kind steampunk jewelry
713.299.6286 http://www.etsy.com/shop/frilledandfeathered
My work consists of minimalistic sculpture with a mathematical foundation. Specific parts of a form can be given more emphasis with the addition of vibrant colors of spray paint. I continually cross over from abstract to realistic as I seek out new shapes inspired by unusual lifeforms. 281.455.8261
Currently I am generating abstract, expressionist paintings using primarily acrylics as my tool of experimentation. Toss a Pop Art influence into the mix to round out what impacts my style. Mixed media is an increasing influence with many works incorporating plaster, copper wire, organic elements - sand, salt, rock, glass as well as print media. A few even include a favourite old shirt to worn to wear again. My art is diverse in subject and is extremely colorful and textural. It should provoke more than one sense in you.

The majority of my work is pen on paper. Their abstract, surreal, sweeping lines from nature often contast against structured lines of society. The multifarious detail is complicated and unique. Though often working in black and white, I find great joy in bright and brilliant colors. I offer both originals and limited addition prints. I also experiment with Acrylics on large canvases, dabble in mixed media, and play the photographer in natural and remote settings. Read more here.
