Looking forward to our Valentine Tea event next Sunday afternoon. We will have a variety of teas and homemade cookies and I've heard rumor that Susan Haskell will be making some of her delicious homemade fudge. This alone is worth coming for but our artists have been busy making beautiful art and cards for Valentine's Day at very reasonable prices. Come and enjoy tea and cookies and shop for gifts.

Art Glass by Susan Haskell
Cityscape Silhouette Vase in indigo and black by artist Susan Haskell
Susan Haskell is our featured artist at Ten Women on Montana Ave for January 2013. Her beautiful glass vases of cityscapes and Matisse inspired nudes can be seen in the window until January 31st. Susan has been working in glass for 29 years. She first joined Ten Women nine years ago and is a teaching assistant for glass making at Santa Monica College as well as an art teacher at Canyon Elementary school. Her artistic skill is evident in all her work but especially in these silhouette vases that were created by cutting away the top layer of black glass to reveal the lighter colored glass underneath. I think you will agree that the effect is striking and the vases are heirloom quality and would make a wonderful wedding present or anniversary gift.

The Holiday Walk and Party at Ten Women Gallery.

We celebrated our first anniversary on Montana Ave at the Holiday Walk last Friday evening. Lots of old friends and customers came to the party - some were visiting our new location for the first time. Several old customers from Abbott Kinney came to tell us how beautiful they thought the new gallery looked. The street was thronged with visitors for the Montana Ave Holiday Walk. Some were just looking for a glass of wine and a snack but many were holiday shopping and our sales desk was busy from 5 to 10 pm. Our holiday window with all the beautiful handmade ornaments by Ten Women artists was a big draw. We sold quite a few ornaments at the party and over the weekend.
At around 8pm Kathy Leonardo and her band arrived and got everyone into the holiday spirit with their festive costumes and Christmas songs.

Each artist has created ornaments in her own style and medium. Susan Haskell's glass ornaments are a perennial favorite and Kathy Holquin Black and Betsy Weston also make lovely glass ornaments. Linda Fenster specializes in hand painted decorations, including her fun Frida Kahlo ornament and Mannig Gurekian has added gold and silver leaf to her delicately painted pieces. Caroline Vidal has made porcelain ringing bells, each with a different sound and pitch. Outi Harma has also made some pretty ceramic ornaments. Bibi Davidson's painted faces will make you smile and Anthea Brown has papier mache ornaments featuring linoblock prints of animals and birds. Peggy McKeever and Cola Smith-Adabachi add wire art and ethnic textile stars and balls to our collection. Karen Saviskas's gourd ornaments are a big hit with our customers as are Phyllis Kalionzes and Joann Libolt's whimsical pieces, all of which will be on sale until Christmas Eve. New ones will be added weekly.
I think we have something for everyone!

Halloween At Ten Women Gallery.
We had hundreds of children in the gallery for trick-or-treat this Halloween. There was a steady stream or witches, fairies, elephants, cows, dogs, Mary Poppins, Dr Spock, Spacemen and little mermaids. Ten women artists Kara Taub, Susan Haskell, Mannig Gurekian, Linda Fenster and Anthea Brown were on hand to give out the candy. Kara as a kindly witch and Linda in her Blackbird Singing in the Dead of Night Halloween costume, complete with a very realistic blackbird on her shoulder. The stream of children never ceased and Susan had to run out for four more big bags of candy to meet the rush. It was a lot of fun but by quarter of six we were completely out of candy and were forced to give out black plastic spiders and balloons, to the relief of many of the parents. Next year we will be ready for the onslaught!
