I promised I would feature fave artists, so here is another Etsy favorite of mine!
Cleo of Designs by Cleo has the most lovely Christmas ornaments this year! Vintage images are carefully detailed into the most wonderful work of art! Cleo resides in upstate New York and is also a talented floral designer as well as highly skilled seamstress. Check out her lovelies by clicking on the pics below...something for every style of tree, from Victorian, to country to shabby cottage!
As many of you may remember, last spring, I had the pleasure of meeting a lovely 91 years young lady named Irene Marshall who hand paints china and porcelain. I remembered on this visit to bring a good camera, rather than trying to snap shots with my cell phone. I had so many pics, I decided to create a slide show. I wish all of my blogger friends had the opportunity to visit her studio in Salem, Oregon. Truly a remarkable lady. I walked away with a large box of her beauties that I will be listing on my website soon. I hope you enjoy her lovely hand painted treasures as much as I do!
This morning I wanted to introduce a mixed media artist friend of mine~actually we work the day job together~ Carrie is just breaking into the world of Etsy. I was fortunate to see her work up close and personal~I was overwhelmed at just how gorgeous her work is! A bit of Vintage, French, shabby, and Victorian cottage style rolled into one, not to mention the bling.
As a new shop owner, she has already been contacted by a gallery to display her work! Not surprising tho, this is one talented artist!
I am including a few Christmas pieces she has listed now with more to come in her shop. You can click on the pics here to see close up too, or go to her shop by clicking on her shop name below.
