Dear Art,

If you ever need a place to stay, my wall is vacant and I’ll put a mint on your pillow.

I don’t want to know how much this is, so don’t tell me. Deal?

p.s. Those little lion head feet kill me!

Not to be confused with “Art rocks more.” Or, well. You know.

p.s. Want a round-up of rocks, stones and all things gem-esque? Of course you do!

Agates are like nature’s baubles. And agate paintings are like my baubles.

Does that mean I’m nature? Wait. No.

p.s. This painting reminds me of this shiny gem made from wood. Pretty, yes?

The gem train is full speed ahead, friends!

p.s. For more painted gems, indulge yourself here, here, here and here!

OMG! It’s the 3D (and well-lit) version of this painting! Amazing.

Thanks to Micah, I’m going to put some sparkle in today.

Agates, rocks and gems are springing up like… well, spring. In lighting (like these Brenda Houston lamps!), furnishings, fashion and art — agates are rockin’ a stylish future:

-Agate Platters
-Agate Sculpture
-Agate Print
-Agate Bookends
-Agate Rings
-Agate Vase
-Agate Necklaces
-Agate Lighting

Capree knows how much I love amethysts and whoa. Again? Whoa.

These are salt and pepper shakers ($98) that need no seasoning, b/c they’re already smokin.’

BAM!
