I was introduced to Amber's work by my friend Sara when she bought a pumpkin pin similar to this one. I knew I just had to see this shop for myself!
Amber's work is amazing! All kinds of little creatures just waiting for a home - this little bunny fairy of course caught my eye!
Being a geologist I also adore these little animated stones :) Her work brings a smile to your face regardless if its a little pouty tree, a cute baby fairy, or a mischiveous dragon. Each creation is unique and special - a real treat for anyone to have!
You can also visit Amber's blog or her website for even more cool creations!
Be sure to stop in her store at Etsy and adopt one of these adorable little ones for yourself!
If this doesn't catch your attention I don't know what can! I did a triple take when I first saw knittingkneedle's crocheted dinosaur skull - admittedly it appeals to the geologist side of me :) But what an amazing and creative piece of work! (While I wish many sales for knittingkneedle, I can't help but not-so-secretly wish this will still be available for me to one day purchase! I would love to be a professor with that in my office, lol)
Another really cool item is this sabertooth tiger skull! What I really appreciate about knittingkneedle's work is how unique, inventive, creative, and just plain fun it is! It shows just how much of an art form crochet can be - and what a great inspiration for beginners!
Hey, in art anything is possible right? Even inter-species dino love :D
As you can see knittingkneedle also has smaller creations available for you to enjoy - some naughty, some silly, all great! Be sure to stop by and visit at knittingkneedle.etsy.com
I found Emily's work when I came across her medieval alphabet art. She has created little works of art for ever letter - each one truly unique and amazing! How fun these cards are!
Her "Twelve Women with Birds" print is one of my favorites. It's just such a rich image with the vibrant colors and detailed patterns that bring life to her work. All of her work is truly stunning - her medival work could readily fit in with any exhibit of medieval style art. She also has numerous works with more mythological and goddess imagery that are beautiful and intriguing.
Another example of the detail and brilliant use of color - this work just has such a great sense of depth and movement. Every time I look at her artwork I feel like I see something new every time - I never get tired of looking through her store! In addition to original paintings, she also sells ACEOs, prints, and cards of her work, as well as custom items. A collection of Emily's work is also available on her portfolio at http://www.emilybalivet.com/
Be sure to check out this favorite of mine for some truly stunning work!
Don't you want the cute bunny to have his treats?!
This was the very first item of Nakisha's that I saw on Etsy and being a bunny lover it caught my attention immediately! It's still one of my favorites, and reminds me of my little rabbits and how they would love to frolic in a field of flowers :)
Being the science geek that I am this one also quickly became a favorite! Rabbits in Space - how awesome is that! Many of her images feature the "little white rabbit".
What really sets Nakisha's work apart I think is how the images come to life. Each one tells a story. You can easily imagine what is going on in each picture, what the animals may be thinking or if they could talk, say to one another. In this respect, Nakisha's work also reminds me of the imagery by Beatrix Potter, but with her own unique mark. I just love Nakisha's work!
Nakisha has a assortment of her work to pick from, including fine art prints, ACEOs, buttons, pendants, even a book of her work! She also does some very fun and neat wire sculpture as well. Her work can also be found at her website http://www.nakisha.com/
So be sure to stop by Nakisha's shop to get your own "little white rabbit" work of art!
ACEO of our solar sytem with the Sun (vibrant lampwork bead), Mercury (silver crystal), Venus (tan glass), Earth and Moon (african 'turquoise' and seed bead), Mars (garnet), Jupiter (red adventurine), Saturn (lepoardskin jasper and glass beads for the rings!), Uranus (dyed jasper), and Neptune (frosted blue glass). These are fastened onto soft foam with pretty 'stars' and backed with felt. Measures 2.5" x 3.5" Great for framing! (ACEO = Art Card Editions and Originals - they're like collectible works of art on a small scale!)Yart was a great success! I got to spend the day hanging out with fellow artists and sharing my art with many customers! It was great getting to hang out with my friends who I haven't seen in awhile since I moved to KY for grad school. I also did a drawing for a gift certificate for one lucky person - as you can see I even got my rabbit JD involved and let him pick the winner!
Holly from Etsy was so kind to feature me on her blog this week! She did a great job, and has a very fun blog. Check out her blog http://winklepots.blogspot.com/ and her store for some wonderful items for the little ones http://winklepots.etsy.com/
Last week I was also featured on Etsy treasuries by loosewirestudio and evanrhett - both were beautifully done, and one of the items recently sold!
That's it for now! Be sure to check back for new articles!
