Thank You Detroit News!

The Dancing Eye Gallery was featured in the Detroit News Homestyle section on Friday, June 21, 2024, as one of several locations where artistic, handmade tiles can be found. Not only tiles, but other decorative and functional pieces by mostly local ceramic artists have long been a passion of the owner. Tiles make interesting wall arrangements because of varied textures, colors and patterns. Tiles and other ceramic pieces are perfect as thank you, hostess and business gifts. Visit the gallery and see how you can transform your space into something unique and handmade!

It’s Shark Week!

In case you’re wondering, the Discovery Channel is airing programs about sharks all week long. Shark Week began 35 years ago and is still popular. In keeping with this particular fish theme, the Dancing Eye Gallery offers some fun shark art!

Book Signing Event This Friday!

Local author Walter G. Esselman will be signing his books at the Dancing Eye Gallery this Friday, January 20, from 6 to 8 p.m. Esselman is the author of numerous works including 64 published short stories and one novella. He earned 1st place in the World of Myth’s Open Contract Challenge in 2020.

Walter says “Catmandu is notable for having Only one commandment: Don’t Be a Jerk. This includes not only to other living things, but yourself as well.”

This makes us think of cat-related Valentine’s ideas, too – a perfect pairing with one of Walter’s books!

Year of the Tiger

According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of the Tiger begins on February 1. Those born in the tiger year are said to be natural leaders, strong, assertive, brave and inspiring. If you were born in 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1998 or 2010 you were born during the Year of the Tiger. The Dancing Eye Gallery can help with some gift ideas for a tiger-year birthday.

The Wolf Moon

Though this first full moon of the new year (visible tonight through Wednesday morning), is often nicknamed the Wolf Moon and thought to be connected to wolves’ increased howling in the cold winter months due to hunger, we now know that wolves’ howling is more of a territorial act as they make their presence known. Howl if you must, but know, too, that astrologically this January moon (aka Ice Moon, Old Moon, Snow Moon) brings a sense of self-illumination as in ‘new year, new me.” A time to be a bit more introspective and to nurture yourself. Nurturing … a perfect segue to Valentine’s Day! The moon can say many things in love and be very romantic!
