Navy Woolen Gloves Medium

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:12:54 -0500

$15.00
Handsomely hewn bicycling mits will keep your cold little paws warm. New life given to felted woolen garments with styleless past. Freehand embroidered bike tire. Cute, but hardcore. Wool is always hardcore.

These gloves can be, at first, a bit tightly fitted if you buy a small but will be broken in by your use of them as the material conforms and stretches out for you.

As wool can be incredibly irritating to the skin of some, I recommend using these to layer on top of one-size-fits-all type of glove found at the dollar store. When wool gets wet it still keeps you warm, it doesn't let your body heat escape. Quite amazing stuff.

I've recently noticed that people look at each others hands subconsciously for communication more than I previously realized. If you'd prefer another symbol made onto the top of your hand, I can most likely do that if you inquire.

If you would like a pair of these gloves and your hand is smaller or larger than my averages, please inquire before placing an order. Average sizes are: Small 6-7.5 inches, Medium 8-9.5 inches, Large 10-11.5 inches. (These are inches measured all around the knuckle area.)
The gloves are approximately 6-7 inches lengthwise.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CARE: HAND WASH WITH COOL WATER, AIR DRY

This listing is for a navy blue pair of Medium with light turquoise/teal sidewalls.

Cherry Family Copper Heart Pan No.1

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 01:35:20 -0400

$14.00
I have painted this cherry family onto a copper colored aluminum vintage pan made by Westbend. The pan makes a sweet wall hanging, but it would not work as a food containing pan since the painting may be disturbed. So it is for Decoration only. about 7 inches high and wide and about 1 1/2 inches in depth. A convenient little tab for hanging is attached. Painted in acrylic.

Little Red Match Holder

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 01:35:20 -0400

$14.00
Here is a vintage match box holder that I have painted (acrylic) red and decoupaged with a "Mary had a little Lamb" card. (Except Lamb is spelled "Lam" on the card. This could be used to hold a match box, but other things are fine too. It hangs on the wall and could hold your cell phone and charger. It could be filled with little folded up inspirational notes so that everyday you can choose one to help you be happy. It could be a mounted pen holder. Think of what it could hold! A little more than 6 in. tall, 3 in. across, 3.25 in. deep.

Bike Tire Truckers Style Cap

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 02:34:37 -0400

$10.00
For casual cycling and looking awesome, I have put my bike tire embroidery on a Trucker's style cap. The hats were bought in unworn condition, they haven't even had their brims bent yet. (You know how cap wearers bend their brims to their own unique specifications?) Some of them are vintage from the 70's and 80's. They are adjustable in the back like caps usually are and are one-size fits-most. **The hat you will recieve is completely bright red and advertises trimming saws under the embroidery. The sidewalls of the tire are an purplish/bluish color. It's in the last two pics, not the first three.**

See also, my fingerless gloves (it's still cold in some places) and neckties with similar bike tire motif. Also, I can create a custom embroidery design, just ask.
