Stone Harvest by Kelly Nicholson Exhibition+Sale at AMERICANA

Stone Harvest by Kelly Nicholson is now exclusively sold at AMERICANA Classic Vintage. Stone Harvest is a line of jewelry based on a series of paintings on antique photographs. Kelly imbeds these images also on pendants and pins to be worn, like cameos & lockets.

The photographs used in this series were found in flea markets and antique stores in Ohio & New York.

Kelly started buying old photographs that “spoke” to her and which asked for the story behind their soft & faded faces to be told.  She gives new life to the old photos by giving them costumes of fanciful headpieces, hats and embellishments.

About the Artist:

Stone Harvest was created by Kelly Nicholson who was born in 1977 in rural northern Ohio.  She earned a B.F.A. with a concentration in sculpture in 2005 from the School of Visual Arts in New York, and a M.A. in Art Education from Brooklyn College in 2007.

Kelly chooses to live either near the woods or the beach, where she spends her time observing and collecting things to use in her artwork. She also prefers to visit antique stores and junk shops instead of museums, because as she says, “in museum you aren’t allowed to touch anything.”

Throw an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party!

It’s always a good time to have a dress up party, isn’t it? Why not bring some silliness into the holiday season with an Ugly Sweater Party?!

via TheBerry.com

 

Here’s how:

• Invite everyone for a casual cocktail party. No need to worry about entertainment, everyone will have lots of fun admiring each others’ sweaters.

• As the host, you must make sure your ugly sweater is the absolute ugliest. Scour all sorts of vintage and second-hand shops (By the way, AMERICANA has a BIG selection of the most outrageous Christmas sweaters at our store on Gamla Brogatan!)

• While you’re shopping, pick up tacky Christmas accessories you find to give as gifts to the guests who’ve come in the evening’s ugliest.

• Take pictures so that you can embarrass your friends.

• Have fun!

The Christmas Sweater

Folks Being Ironic at Chrismas

Recently, the “ugly Christmas sweater” phenomenon has caught on in America, where people are ironically wearing their merry knitted confections around the holidays.

Some people have even been known to host “ugly Christmas sweater” parties.  No matter who wears them out in public during the holiday season, coolness is indeed in the eye of the beholder.

An Ugly Christmas Sweater Party

A Christmas sweater is decorated with glittery snowmen, Santa Claus, trees, Rudolph and just about anything else that shows the world that you’re ready to celebrate the holiday.

In the U.S., Christmas sweaters have long been the preferred seasonal attire for grandmothers, school teachers and just about anyone else who is willing to pay for a sweater that can only be worn two weeks out of the year.
