Michael’s Ornament Featured on Saks.com Holiday main page , Custom Saks Dog, and A Very New York Moment Saks Ball!
Saks.com has just featured my Times Square ornament on their holiday main page !
What an honor. My ornaments are now available in-store and online from them.
One that you should especially check out this year is the Saks Custom 2009 design. It is really fun. I have been doing custom balls for Saks for the last 5 years and normally I feature the building front and center. This year I wanted to switch it up. The theme is the saks elevator featuring a very new york moment: a stylish mother, father and daughter(hugging her American girl doll) sharing the lift with Santa and the Statue of Liberty.
What you can’t see online are all the other details- the chrysler building and empire state emerging from a saks gift box, a skating Prometheus by the Rock Center tree, a newstand, top and bottom are the white snow branches you see on the main floor, the facade of the store smaller on back, and lots of snowflakes. The doors are painted with a mirror like silver so they are actually reflective like the doors in the store. It retails for $75.00.
Each is handpainted, taking 3-5 days to complete each one!
This is a limited edition of 500 balls- only for 2009.
Also new for this year is a custom Saks dog- A Maltese sporting a Statue of Liberty hat while lounging in an Espadrille shoe. A limited edition of 200 and retails at $42.00
My first signing at Saks will be on November 7th. from 1-4 PM.
Hope to see you there!
Until the next sketch!
Is there a store contact that can get us ornaments from the signing shipped to us?
Hi Barb- yes, you can call the trim department (212) 940-1487 or x2487 or x2728 and specify that you would like it autographed.
Thanks! Michael
