...New

This category has been added to enhance your shopping experience and make it very easy to see "All the New Stuff" in one place. The items are all listed here as well as in their correct categories. Enjoy!
 

Alphabets

I love to create lettering! So far they are all based on a seasonal theme. More alphabets to come in the future!
 

Books and Booklets

One book and two booklets in my Contemporary Multi-load Technique, "Flowers on Glass," (out of print but now available on a CD), Shrub Roses Variations and Flower Painting on Glass Ovals. The "Join Us for Tea" book has authors other than myself and is painted all in FolkArt's Enamels. There is also a booklet on my Shaded Wash Fruit Technique.
 

Books - Other Authors

Still sorting through my stash of books after moving into my new studio. Some definite "oldies but goodies" here.
 

Brushes

Here are the brushes that I use most often in my various painting techniques including my Margot's Miracle Brush. Part of the proceeds from the sale of my Margot's Miracle Brush will go to breast cancer research.
 

Closeout

You never know what you will find in here! When these items are gone, they are gone for good!
 

Embossing Supplies

Since I go in spurts with the creation of my Embossed Eggs, Ornaments and Boxes I decided to offer the supplies for sale for people who might like to create their own. You need access to ceramic greenware or porcelain greenware or porcelain bisque and access to a kiln as this is a prduct that must be fired to be completed. The Craft Lathe can be used for any project that needs to be suspended using any medium.
 

Featured

Items displayed here are new products or products I think are of special interest.
 

Greeting Cards

All the cards featured in this category are photographs of my artwork in high quality cardstock with envelopes.
 

Margot's Heirloom Boxes

As with the Heirloom Ornaments and Eggs, these boxes are entirely hand made from the liquid clay to the final embossed dot! All the colors and artwork are completed while the box is in the dried clay stage. It is then fired in a kiln and a matte finish is applied to the outside and gloss or satin varnish to the inside. I create them one at a time so selections will vary as no two are ever exactly alike. Each comes with a certificate of authenticity and my signature "M" trademark. I will add more boxes as they are created.
 

Margot's Heirloom Eggs

As with the Heirloom Ornaments these eggs are entirely hand made from the liquid clay to the final embossed dot! All the colors and artwork are completed while the egg is in the dried clay stage. It is then fired in a kiln and a matte finish is applied. There are four sizes of eggs, small, medium, large and extra large and come in both horizontal and vertical styles. They are meant to be displayed all year. I create them one at a time so selections will vary as no two are ever exactly alike. Each comes with a certificate of authenticity and my signature "M" trademark. I will add more eggs as they are created.
 

Margot's Heirloom Ornaments

As with the Heirloom Eggs these ornaments are entirely hand made from the liquid clay to the final embossed dot! All the colors and artwork are completed while the ornament is in the dried clay stage. It is then fired in a kiln and a matte finish is applied. There are many different shapes and color combinations so the selections will vary. I create them one at a time so no two are ever exactly alike. Each comes with a certificate of authenticity and my signature "M" trademark. I will add new ornaments as they are created.
 

Miss Pumpkin's Halloween Emporium

Coming Soon! You will find Miss Pumpkin herself and cute and scary Halloween ornaments.
 

Original Art Work

I don't sell a lot of my finished work so check back every once in a while to see what is here. Also check out my Gallery Art section to see if there is a painting that is of interest. A portion of the profit from each sale will be donated to breast cancer research.
 

Packets - Contemporary Multi-Load Techniques

A wide variety of beautiful multi-load flowers can be found here. A full explanation of this painting style can be found under Techniques.
 

Packets - Fired Glass Techniques

All the packets use ordinary single or double strength window glass and are fired in a regular ceramic kiln. See full explanation of this technique that resembles stained glass under Techniques. These designs would also be great used for the wide variety of nonfired glass colors that are available.

Packets - Seasonal Designs

Santas, snow people, peppermint, sleighs and candy cane designs.

Packets Suede Items

Painted Suede is so very beautiful and very easy to do. Instruction packets will be lised here.
 

Rub-Ons

Created using my original designs, they can be transferred to most any surface. Great for card making and scrapbooking as well as adding an extra touch to painted items. For use on paper, wood, tile, plastic, candles, metal, clay pots, ceramic and porcelain surfaces. Use for temporary tattoos or nail art, just about anything!
 

Specials

Great bargains here for a limited time.
 

Suede Items

This is where you will find Margot's Victorian Suede Purses in six wonderful colors and now suede mini stockings. The pattern for the purses is in the Winter 2007 edition of Quick and Easy painting magazine but their nice flat surface allows many patterns to be easily adapted to fit. The stockings are in the Winter 2008 issue of the Quickand Easy Ornamnet issue. I use fabric paints to paint my designs on suede.
