Speaking as a local artist myself, Kristy is one of the best we have. The classes she teaches are…read moreall-inclusive, so even a beginner artist can join in and thrive! If you're ever struggling, Kristy is very approachable when it comes to helping her students -- which is a key factor in ANY instructor! She also offers incredible and unique works made by her own hands that are worth every fair cent for such fine quality art. I love that her offered wares are so versatile, so you are bound to find something you would love yourself! It is worth mentioning that The Black Sheep's Ink is a small business ran by one of the most honest and hardest-working artists you could meet -- so if you're all about small businesses, The Black Sheep's Ink is where your attention should be. I especially love her portrayal of faces and animals; whenever I see a face painted by Kristy, I know immediately it is her work. Please do your soul a favor and enlighten it with a visit to The Black Sheep's Ink some day!

We framed two caricatures of my grandparents as goblins and he picked a great thin ornate black frame with a red matte that goes great with the pictures.

Best experience hands down. I had a vintage piece fall off the wall and damage the frame. When I…read morecalled, Norm took the time to ask many questions and had me send pictures. He ended up doing way more than I expected. He not only repaired the frame, but he also hand painted the frame and gold trim. He put new paper on the back and new hangars and wire. He also spent some time gluing the fabric matt down. It looks better than when I got it. I appreciate the time and care that Norm put into my vintage piece.

Beads of Contentment did just as the name promises, and much more! Holly greeted us as we entered, and she didn't even bat an eye as my enthusiastic toddler made her way through all the treasures that happened to be at her eye level. We had a decent sized group of each age, and we came at the right time for us to comb through the store and all find things we loved! We planned to make our own malas and found wonderfully priced strings of stones and all sorts of different strings, glass beads, metal accessories, tumbled stones, bells, and bags, and trinkets galore. What a lovely store ran by such a gem of a person, Holly was so helpful and kind as she interacted with each of us. Her prices are very fair, and her reason being so that many won't feel turned away from finding what they're meant to! For myself, I went with a string of fluorite, lavender jade, and phosphosiderite, and a gorgeous rose carved fresh water pearl to make my mala. I cannot wait to come back to this store and purchase more beads and visit with Holly again. If you find yourself in the area and you are looking for a piece of magic either for yourself or a loved one, check out Beads of Contentment you'll be sure to find something very special.
