Introducing Debra Tufford! God’s World Photography
For most photographers, taking a beautiful image is the accomplishment of their art. Debra sees things a little differently and it surely makes her work unique. Her art is also an inspirational message. She finds a beautiful spot in nature, takes her shot and then she finds the perfect quotation to hand calligraphy on the matte. Saying that makes it sound easy and anyone who has ever tried to snap a photo knows there is much more to photography than that. To combine the photography with the perfect inspirational quote and then to hand calligraphy that message on the matte makes her work unique and very special.
'Consider The Lillies'
Her photo with it’s inspirational matte is framed in a georgeous custom made hardwood frame, courtesyof her husband. These frames are beautifully put together. Got to love a man with skills!
'Living Water'

Adornments welcomes new artist: Steamy Raimon!
Steamy Raimon comes to us from Las Vegas and ads a new element to our gallery: Viking-style drinking horns! Each one-of-a-kind horn is hand-carved and painted with traditional Norse writing and symbols to give it an authentic Viking feel. Each horn is sealed with wax to make it a functional drinking horn as well as a beautiful work of art!
Steamy Raimon
This piece is made from natural bull horn, imported from Northern Europe, and fitted with a removable leather strap with copper fittings for easy carrying. This drinking horn is completely functional, having been sealed with beeswax to enable it to carry large quantities of mead, beer and/or wine. The carvings, featuring The Midgard Serpent crossing itself in a traditional knot fashion and the words “Drink with the Gods” in both English and Elder Futhark Runes (old Norse) are hand carved and highlighted with red oil paint. The Midgard Serpent in Norse mythology is a huge serpent under the sea that surrounds the entire Earth and is often depicted as a dragon on the bows of Viking ships. This horn is a fine collector’s item or gift for the lover of Scandinavian heritage and lore (information provided by Steamy Raimon).
Viking-Style Drinking Horn
This drinking horn, also one-of-a-kind, is hand-carved and painted on natural ram’s horn. The carvings depict Elder Futhark (old Norse) runes and symbols of dedication to the Norse gods Odin and Tyr. A sealing of beeswax makes this horn capable of carrying a significant quantity of liguid (traditionally mead, beer or wine) and is similar to those historically used by Norse shamans for ceremonies and rituals (Information provided by Steamy Raimon).
Shaman Ritual Ram's Horn
Steamy Raimon accepts commissions for his horns, appropriate for occasions as varied as historical reinactment occasions and marital drinking vessels as well as being excellent collector’s items for Scandinavian history enthusiasts.
Please join us in welcoming Steamy Raimon to Adornments!
