Whoa!

"Size : 18" wide

CUSTOM SIZES: We've made these as small as 4" across and as large as 5 foot across. Please check with us prior to purchase for pricing on custom sizes.

A few years ago, while thinking about decorating my son's room I came up with the idea to make a porthole decal that would show a pirate ship on the horizon. I made three designs and in time listed them in my shop.

Special requests began to come in. Some people wanted space themes and others wanted underwater scenes so it would appear their child's room was a chamber of a submarine.

Airships and sharks soon joined the designs and even dinosaurs.

Today my porthole decal line has grown considerably larger than those first years. They've been used in hospitals, schools, nurseries and even on the sides of cars around the world.

I'd love the chance to help you decorate your space with one of my designs. Take a look around see if anything strikes your fancy or if you need something custom created."

Trilobite Necklace

"Our magnificent trilobite is 1 1/2 inches long and 1 3/8 inches wide. He weighs a whopping 21.2 grams, that's over 2/3 troy ounce of sterling silver. And he is nothing short of magnificent!

You can wear yours proudly knowing that you have something unusual and very different.

All items come ready for gifting in an shimmery gold box or black bag sprinkled with stars.

Trilobites are remarkable, hard-shelled, segmented creatures that existed over 520 million years ago in the Earth's ancient seas.

They went extinct before dinosaurs even came into existence, and are one of the key signature creatures of the Paleozoic Era, the first era to exhibit a proliferation of the complex life-forms that established the foundation of life as it is today.

Although dinosaurs are the most well-known fossil animals, trilobites are also a favorite among those familiar with Paleontology (the study of the development of life on Earth), and are found in the rocks of all continents.

Their fascinating shape makes it an excellent study for a piece of art.

Hand carved with love and cast with the lost wax process.
Comes on a black adjustable cord. Chain shown is not included but we have an assortment available at a very reasonable price.

Trilobite is our original design and hand cast right here in our studio in the heart of the beautiful Ozarks
Made with 100% recycled sterling silver.
Made from heart."

Chemistry for Kids

"More than 200 color pictures and clear, easy-to-follow directions show junior chemists how to prepare a laboratory at home, how to buy and make apparatus, and how to set up fascinating, informative experiments. In addition, there are facts about famous chemists, their contributions in nature and industry.

Supposedly the US government had the book removed from libraries and banned for sale on the grounds that the projects were too dangerous for its intended audience. I would have to agree that you probably don't want your kids making and igniting hydrogen in the garage, but for the aspiring chemist who can adhere to the safety precautions, this remains one of the best do-it-yourself chemistry books around.

Only 126 copies of this book exist in libraries worldwide. Sometimes you can find this rare book for sale but copies can fetch upwards of $700 or higher. Get a quality digital scanned copy today for a fraction of the cost of an original copy!

"Stained Glass Trilobite Panel Window Made to order. Allow 4-8 weeks

Trilobites are a well-known fossil group of extinct marine arthropods that form the class Trilobita. The first appearance of trilobites in the fossil record is in the Early Cambrian period (526 million years ago), and they flourished throughout Paleozoic Trilobites finally disappeared in the mass extinction at the end of the Permian about 250 million years ago. The trilobites were among the most successful of all early animals, roaming the oceans for over 270 million years.
This one is made with a highly textured rippled glass of blue with purple streaks and swims across a yellow 'glue-chip" sea.

approx. 8 x 12 1/4". Copper foiled stained glass panel, black patina, and zinc frame. Ready to hang with a sturdy chain.

Please contact me for color choice and a more exact time estimate.

Original design and creation by me,
Jane Hartman

Note: stained glass may appear quite different under different light conditions. My photos were chosen to give you an idea of some of the variations."

Fossil around my neck

"Coordinating shades of black, hematite and fine silver coated copper wire make a subtle variegated frame for an orthoceras fossil in this sleek pendant.

The orthoceras has clear, dark delineations and the chambers are a dove gray with an interesting textured patterning. The wire colors were chosen to set off the shape of the fossil and chambers, as well as to add a little brightness without detracting from the striking fossil.

A faceted wine colored garnet peeps out from the top of the fossil, discreetly adding an occasional striking flash of red when the light catches it.

Orthoceras were ancient mollusks. They first emerged nearly 500 million years ago and went extinct nearly 200 million years ago, when dinosaurs were just getting started. They're older cousins of the beautiful spiral shelled ammonites. (To give a vague sense of time here-they're older to most of the dinosaurs than the dinosaurs are to us.)

It's fun how somethng so ancient can look so modern.

The pendant is just over 2 1/2" long by 3/4" at its widest. It comes on a black satin and sheer organza striped ribbon. Clasped it is just over 19" long.

It comes gift boxed, let me know if you'd like it gift wrapped as well."
