Elves Busy at Work in the Infinity Arts Workshop

In preparation for the holiday season, we've been busy cutting and sanding clock parts. We've amassed a great collection of pieces and can now move on to the fun part.
Here is Justin with canine companion Benjamin in front of our supply of future clock bodies...

And, here are some of the new designs in progress, soon to be available on our website.



And, here is Justin's workbench. How does he find anything there?

Our first blog!

We're so excited to be up and blogging about the goings-on at Infinity Arts HQ. Mary and I have been in business as Infinity Arts for over 7 years and have grown and changed continuously throughout the years. We hope to offer you a glimpse into our art, our business and our lives with this blog and we hope you'll write us with your thoughts and ideas as well. So, down to business!
We have recently gone from making a line of production wall clocks to making primarily one-of-a-kind pieces. We did this for one main reason - making the same designs over and over was hampering our creativity and we wanted to focus on the aspect of our business that brings us the most satisfaction, the designing of NEW pieces. We've rediscovered the creative buzz of approaching each clock design as an individual and we're having the most fun on the job since we started the company.
Here are some of our newest designs...

Justin: This is one of my new pieces. I like the line drawing aspect of this piece...this is something I might not have done if I knew that I would be reproducing it 50 times! ($75-sold)

Mary: I named this piece Block Clock - it will be one of a series in this style. Justin began using squares as a design element in some of his wall art pieces a long time ago and recently, the whole lot of us got involved in using them, too. I've made several wall art pieces with this design that I call my Circle Obsessions. It is a fun contemporary piece, with a bit of copper to spice things up! ($150) click for details.

Justin: This piece is called Sunspot. It has a worked (embossed, hammered and fired) brass accent that I think makes a lovely face. Again, some of the detail in this one is present because I will be making this clock exactly one time! ($90) click for details.

Mary: "Hot Mustard" is a great gift-giving clock. It is bright, small and the price is right! ($35-sold) .

This is a fun piece we all (Mary, Justin and our 6 year old son, Jonah) made. We each painted several sets of numbers on 3" MDF squares and then semi-randomly arranged them on a background. It started as a number learning/ painting exercise for Jonah and turned into our first family art collaboration. ($300) Click for details.

In case you missed it, we were recently featured in the Oregonian's annual Design and Decor issue of the Homes and Gardens section (Oct. 26). Here it is:

Thanks to the Oregonian for the feature! If you want to actually read it click here.

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more ... Justin and Mary
