I've really been enjoying the process of making collages. I've started using stretched canvas as a base and I'm pleased with the texture that shows through the paper from the weave of the fibers. I've also been experimenting with resin which looks like water droplets. This piece titled "mermaids" is now in my Etsy shop.
Art by Amanda Blake
I love the paintings by Amanda Blake. This one in particular titled "rebecca wore a dress of wildflowers" caught my eye this morning. She's offering a limited 2nd edition of this work in a run of 250 prints.
Sassy sashes
Love thes sashes made by Lindsey in her Etsy shop at LostPemberlyDesigns. If you or a bride might want one, contact her ASAP because she's shutting down the shop on May 25 for a mission trip abroad.
Upcycled faucet necklace
The Charming Ink Etsy shop is finally open and here's one of the pieces I recently finished. It's an upcycled faucet necklace made from reclaimed plumbing parts with rhinestone/button details and a brass-finish link chain. I chose to let some of the imperfections in the paint remain because I like the character it gives the piece.
Blinking Ketchup & Mustard Bottles
Sometimes I just wonder who thinks up these things? Blinking ketchup & mustard bottles? Was it a doll parts supplier with an excess of eyes? At $24.95 I have to admire the profit margin that must be involved with these babies.
