Hot from the Arena Creative Studios

Cachou Lajaunie

by Valerie Arena

This is a one of a kind handcrafted mixed media piece. It is an oval double sided decorative piece to add a little touch of France, a little mischief! The piece is hung by a cord wrapped and bowed in a lovely green sheer satin edged ribbon. The piece is 8 inches tall, 5 inches wide and three quarters inch thick. 

 Both sides are fully decorated so you can switch it around for something different. Both sides feature vintage advertising and an enameled fleur de lis accent, with a multidimensional look and feel. One of a kind art piece by Valerie Arena

This piece will be available for auction at tophatter.com in late February.

Asian Diner

by Valerie Arena

This is a handmade collage under glass. The glass is sealed inside the frame (with screws) and inbetween the two glass pieces is the collage. The collage is a variety of asian themed items, including your fortune cookie fortune! "You will receive a fortune (cookie)." This would make a fun and humorous accent to any kitchen! Handcrafted by Arena Creative.  This will be available for auction at tophatter.com on February 22nd, 2012.
