New Discoveries

There is just something about these poppies that sing out to me . I love their stunning brightness and the way they pop against their stark background. I discovered Wood Pigeon this week on the Shopper's Paradise forum thread, she took up one of our "newbie" spots, a spot reserved for free until the shop gets it's first sale with Etsy. I encourage you to look at WoodPigeon's shop and her other works, and check out the one she sold (her first Etsy sale, yay!) called "Dove Among Dandelions". Beautiful work!

Romantic Stained Glass Bird by Pinkflourish

Isn't Romeo the most adorable little stained glass bird you ever saw? Attached to his body is a little perfume bottle vase of vintage button flowers that can be removed and replaced with others. I can picture him bringing a smile to my face, hanging on my window on a cold blustery winter's day. Pinkflourish also has several other beautifully styled birds in her shop, be sure to check them out.

Three in a Row by Janice10art

It was so hard for me to pick JUST one piece of artwork to show you from Janice10art's shop. All of them provoke such warm, and comfortable feelings, things that fit right into any cozy home. In this piece, I love how the lovely hydrangeas fall gracefully, leading your eye to the subject below, the three beautiful apples. Stunning work!

New Discoveries

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
New Discoveries...a chance to show off some of the works of other Etsy shops that I find amazing. These are a few artists that I have stumbled upon recently, those that have earned a heart from me for their talents.

This artist was pointed out to me this week by my friend, Jerise. She pegged Bluebird Hill as someone I would like not only because of her style, but because she offers ACEOs!!! I have since hearted several items in her shop. It astounds me the clarity, and yet softness, Bluebird achieves by using colored pencils. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!

Petunias by BluebirdHill

I've had Creative with Clay in my favorites for awhile now. I am a big fan of textures, and I just love all the ones in this fabulous shop, inspired by Indian designs, fabrics, embroidery, colors and Bollywood. The colors of the pottery are fresh, too! There are so many unique one-of-a-kind pottery pieces in this shop that I would just love to own.

Soup Bowls by CreativewithClay

After much persuasion, this young man succumbed to creating ACEOs, much to the delight of all his wife's MMG threadmates and the rest of the art world. This is Quwwa's first attempt at creating art on a small scale...and WOW! What a magnificent job! His subjects tend not to be of the light and airy nature, but more the bitterness of reality, and what we as a society tend to ignore. By bringing these realities up in his artwork, he hopes to lend a hand to humanity.
