Loving my new necklace!

Posted by admin on Jun 30, 2010 in Artists, Fashion, Great Finds

I recently purchased this darling new necklace from Blue Dove Studio on Etsy and I just love it! It’s a locket, although I haven’t decided whose picture(s) I am going to put in it yet. But, I thought I should share my beautiful Etsy find. And you should definitely check out ElyIsabel’s shop with all of the other gorgeous handmade jewelry she has for sale. Enjoy your shopping!

The Cyberoptix TieLab!

Posted by admin on Oct 15, 2009 in Artists, Fashion, Great Finds

I’m so excited to share these ties with everyone — they were one of my favorite items that I sold in my gallery. Bethany Shorb hand-screens designs onto ties and the results are eye-catching and beautiful! What a great way to express your own personality, while still fitting in with the dress code. There are way too many designs to show here so check out her Etsy shop!

Fiesta Time!

Posted by admin on Aug 31, 2009 in Artists, Entertaining, Great Finds

Found these wonderful fiesta-inspired pieces on Etsy.com today! They’re from Clayswan’s shop and the colors just make me smile. She really sums it up in her Etsy profile, “The work is functional and playful, it is meant to be used, enjoyed … basically, make you happy ~ have fun!” Who wouldn’t want to enjoy eating with these?

Brilliant!

Posted by admin on Aug 5, 2009 in Artists, Great Finds, design

Stumbled across this artist today and just had to add him to the blog… Check out Cardon Copy, the project of artist Cardon Webb. And here’s what it’s all about, in his own words: 

CARDON COPY, TAKES THE VERNACULAR OF SELF-DISTRIBUTED FLIERS AND TEAR-OFFS WE HAVE ALL SEEN IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. IT INVOLVES HIJACKING THESE UNCONSIDERED FLIERS AND REDESIGNING THEM, OVER POWERING THEIR MESSAGE WITH A NEW VISUAL LANGUAGE. I THEN REPLACE THE ORIGINAL WITH THE REDESIGN IN ITS AUTHENTIC ENVIRONMENT.

 Here are some great examples… Visit the site to see more!

Hope for spring on this snowy day

Posted by admin on Mar 2, 2009 in Artists, Great Finds

Birds are always a good sign that spring is getting closer! And who can resist birds wearing winter hats! I love this print by Geninne — who wouldn’t? You can visit her etsy store to check out more of her work, or visit the lovebirds directly here.
