Michelle Kibbe hand painted a marvelous
mushroom scene on this 3.75" Black Satin Sitting Cat
Figurine. There are three mushrooms on the front side
ranging in size from small to large. Michelle added another
mushroom on the back side of this figurine. The colors of the
mushrooms and the foliage blend well with the black satin
glass of the figurine. Note those splendid blue eyes on the cat that complement
the blue flowers and shading on the mushrooms as well as the white markings on the brow. Each
Shroomie Sitting Cat Figurine is $80 and limited to 12.
This 5" long Crystal Iceberg Paperweight
features a beautiful scene with a beautiful message. . .
designed and hand painted by Kim Barley. There is a wooden
barn and a large windmill in the background. The blades on
the windmill also create the letter "O" in the word HOME,
which Kim hand lettered in a wood-style pattern across the
front of the paperweight. A meadow filled with colorful
flowers and tall grass is in the foreground. Kim used a
metallic gold paint as color accents on her design. Note the
golden drop shadow effect behind the lettering as well as
inside the windows and doors on the barn. You can also see the
gold highlights on the flowers and grasses in the foreground. Each
Home Paperweight is $100.
Our 6.75" Ruby Satin Ghost Figurine welcomes
the coming Autumn season with open arms!
Designed by Michelle Kibbe, this colorful hand
painted scene
includes green acorns and falling leaves in vibrant hues of
red, green, orange, and golden yellow.
A black cat, posed
against a white backdrop, reaches up a paw to catch one of the
falling leaves. Michelle added petite dot trios as accents on
one of the Ghost's outstretched arms. A trio of pumpkins is behind the cat.
The bottom section has a checkered border with white
edging. Michelle added a coordinating cap on top of the
figurine. As
always, this not-so-spooky ghost has a happy expression with a large smile! Each
Autumn Kitty Ghost Figurine is $115.

Robin Spindler's depiction of a pair of Painted
Buntings is beautiful to behold on this 5.5" diameter crystal
Paperweight.
The brilliant colors of the male are challenging to capture
with the camera, but you'll hear many "oohs and aahs" when
this paperweight is on display in your home.
Robin's hand painted details on the birds are
meticulously executed. She created this scene using a reverse
painting technique, a tribute to her talent. On the back of
this crystal paperweight is a lime-green colored female
Painted Bunting perched on a branch. The more colorful male is
perched on a tree branch with green leaves in the foreground.
A pink background color frames the scene. Each
Painted Bunting Paperweight is $110.

Did you know. . . The secretive
Painted Bunting is common in the Southeast, inhabiting
brushy areas and woodland edges. This species is quite the
find among birdwatchers! |
Kim Barley created this whimsical and fun
scene on our 2.75" Opal Satin Mouse figurine. This
Mouse is dressed and ready to get on its horse and capture
one of the most "wanted" villains in the Old West. Kim's
hand painted details are delightful . . . from the
scraggly cactus, "WANTED" poster and "Giddy Up" lettering
(note the horseshoe design of the U) on the ears to the
golden Sheriff's star, red and white bandana, black and
white cowhide chaps, boots, and a lariat tied at the
waist! Definitely a must have for the figurine
collector! Each Giddy Up
Mouse Figurine is $80.
Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe hand painted this 7" Opal Satin
Bridesmaid Doll Figurine in a lovely Victorian style. The gown
is pale green and adorned with beautiful pink roses, including
the hand held bouquet. A delicate necklace that resembles
pearls completes the outfit. Note the lovely eyes and
expression on this figurine. Each
Rosalie Bridesmaid Doll Figurine is $90.
This 11" Georgia Blue Alley Cat Figurine features a
spectacular hand painted "Seascape" design by Robin Spindler.
Her design includes scenes of undersea life, from Bottlenose
Dolphins, a Zebra Moray Eel, a Sea Turtle, a small school of
fish, beautiful Coral and various colorful floral and fauna of
the sea. Note the unique way that Robin used the cat's tail to
create the striped black and yellow pattern for that eel!
Robin added golden accents to the Alley Cat's face. Each
Seascape Alley Cat is $190.
Pre-orders for the
Painted Bunting Paperweight, Giddy Up Mouse Figurine, Rosalie
Bridesmaid Doll Figurine

Seascape Alley Cat Figurine will be accepted

Fenton Art Glass eBay Auctions. .
.
Here's your opportunity to own a beautiful
"one-of-a-kind" Fenton Art Glass creation or items
from Fenton's history through our weekly
Fenton Art Glass eBay auctions. These Fenton's eBay
auctions will end on Wednesday, August 7th.
Items
featured this week. . .
Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe
designed and hand painted this splendid
one-of-a-kind vase (10.25" tall) in Opal Satin
glass. Everything about this vase says "Summer
is here!" ... from the lush hand painted
flowers and foliage to the delicate hand
painted butterflies. Collectors call this the
Fenton Art Glass "feather vase" because of the
three tall "feathers" in relief that are
created by the mould when the skilled
glassblower is at work. Michelle's design
features three different hand painted scenes,
as you can see in the photos.
Perfect for Halloween ... a Ghost figurine
with a hand painted "Cat with a hat"! Fenton
artist Michelle Kibbe first airbrushed the
Opal Satin glass Ghost figurine with rich blue
and subtle green tones and then added these
wonderful hand painted elements: a full moon,
scraggly trees, flying bats, some pumpkins,
and a blue-eyed cat with a bright orange hat!
The mould for the Ghost figurine was designed
by Fenton sculptor Jon Saffell (now retired).
These Fenton's eBay auctions will end on
Wednesday, August 7th. |
