About the Artist
I started my workshop in 1999 when I turned my hobby into a business and  formed Alas y Cia Granada (Wings & Co Granada).  I work in our studio workshop - and nearly work at home - as it is 3 yards from my home!.

I originally started painting angels, instead of my original ceramics, for a Christmas Arts & Crafts Fair Fair for the Spanish Cancer Assocation in 1999, which for the last four years I now run with a collegue, Jane,  who runs a decorating business in the same village.  This has now become an aclaimed event for Arts and Crafts - you can see what we did last year in this link


http://www.beautifulyoo.com/artesania.htm

I am fortunate to be able to earn my living doing this work which I enjoy so much and have become known as the Angel Lady  by many people!   And Alas y Cia Granada is becoming known as the Place for Angel Lovers.

The angels and cherubs  we paint in reproduction antique style and our "porcelain" technique have proved  very popular and we have added a series of Christmas nativities to our range - for a really traditional Christmas.   We now sell to private individuals and shops, both in Spain and in other Countries through Fairs Exhbitions and our web page


http://www.alasyciagranada.com

We also have a trade catalogue for shops and other professionals of about 300 different angels and Christmas nativity sets. 
 

And now we have our 15 minutes of fame as we are painting the angels for a television film which will be called (in Spanish)  "Angels Inc"  which will be shown on national TV just before Christmas.

Exhibition No. 14

The photography of Mary Macintyre



Mary has been a member of Adlandpro since October 2006. She sells her photos
individually or in sets. You can find a wide variety of subject mater on Mary's
site. Her prints are reasonably priced.

 
About the artist:  Mary MacIntyre


 


In 1972, I bought an instantmatic camera at Springfield
College and began for the second time my photographic exploration. 
1974 soon after graduation from Franconia College, I bought my first 35MM
camera and within a year I was showing in Maine.


 


Since then, I've been intermittently active as
a photographer, and enjoy the challenge of nature wherever I am.  I  rarely
take "tourist" pictures and I am fascinated both by composition and abstracted
images.  This show celebrates the feminine and delicate side of spring
in New Mexico.  All the pictures are not of
spring but embrace the ecstacy of life surging wildly forth, and the joy
of finding new ideas, hope, and rebirth after hard times. The buffalo provides
a great mystical inspiration and helps us to become grounded.  Find
peace in your heart. Om.  Mary MacIntyre

All pics can be sold for $14.95 each for a 5X7. Mailing address
needed. 3pics available for $27.95. Or they can buy a CD disk for $15 for
50 pics!

<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->                            ________________________________

I have been a member of AdlandPro since 2005.

I have enjoyed crafts for years, rug hooking when I was in elementary school, sewing in high school, selling wearable art while I was a hairstylist for 12 years and a year I began beading. 

I began selling my jewelry online in October 2006. 

I enjoy taking classes, attending bead shows and joining beading forums.

I like working with all types of beads but my favorite is working with Swarovski crystals.  I like jewelry that sparkles.  I am inspired by a lot of things but I'm most inspired by the colors in butterflies.

I began my adventure in beading a year ago as a  hobby. After receiving solid positive feedback, I decided to begin selling online.


My goal is to create quality, reasonably priced jewelry for women and men.
   
My focus is beads (stringing and loomwork). My plan is to add clay to my repitoire this summer.
 
Art runs in my family. My mother is a retired dress designer, my father is a carpenter in his spare time.

I will be a featured vendor at my first show on May 19th and I'm excited!

My other  passion is writing poetry. I am also considering a venture into life coaching.

Welcome to
the world of POLYMER CLAY. 


Enjoy the
wonders of this versatile medium. 
Polymer clay started out as modeling clay and is still used for that
purpose.  It was only a few years ago that
artists discovered how versatile 
this clay really is and began experimenting
with jewelry and other decorative objects.

 









 

NO PAINT IS USED IN THESE DESIGNS!!

 


I have sculpted each bead by hand.  Many of the designs are made using the
ancient Italian “millefiore” technique. 
The beads are then sanded with two fine grits of sand paper, buffed and
most are covered with a protective glaze for shine.
