5 out of 5 starsThis ornament is even better than it looks on the site! See my attached photo!
It's a charming addition to your wall, to ANY place in your home that you can hang something off of, and also to your Christmas tree.
I love all bears, but have a very special place in my heart for Polar Bears---and Seashells! So for me, this ornament was a Gotta-Have-It. I find the artwork beautifully done and very creative. I love how this artist offers portraits of so many animals: everyone can find a favorite!
The item is well made and arrived well packaged. It exceeded my expectations. I will definitely buy from this shop again.

I love a cluttered studio but I know where everything is and given it's small size, everything is in easy reach!
Unusual Artwork for the Discerning Eccentric
Curious Portraits is a portrait treasury of all the things that filled me with wonder as a child and continue to fire my imagination. Anthropomorphic and Victorian animals, Gothic portraits and Retro food icons. These portraits are steeped in nostalgia and represent my idea of an ideal world in which animals wear clothing and puppets, Victorian skeletons and giant peanuts co-exist!
All the items in this shop are created from these original portraits and are handmade by me with care.
My studio is nestled in the West Village of Manhattan and shared with my faithful companion Astro who is a constant source of inspiration and joy.
You might also enjoy my satellite shop, Curious Print & Pattern which features whimsical retro cross-stitch charts, prints, cards, ornaments and coasters that reflect my love of surface design and vintage illustration.
