A New Discovery

I can't remember how I found this blog but I enjoyed it so much I wanted to share it with everyone.  I'm afraid I don't know the artist's full name but her blog is called The Morning Glory Vine.  Here are a couple pictures of her work taken from her blog.  I just love the colours she's used on these sculptures.

Not a Complete Waste of a Day

Well Today wasn't a complete waste.  I did manage to finish two of my projects.  I made two paper mache heart ornaments.  I'm very happy with how they turned out.  The first top pink heart and the purple heart are the same ornament, just different sides and the second pink heart and the blue heart are the two sides of the second heart ornament.  I've put these two ornaments up on my Etsy shop so I hope everyone else likes them as much as I do.

A Lazy Lazy Day

I've had an incredibly lazy day today so I'm still feeling a bit blah.  I knew I should at least post something but because I'm feeling so lazy, this is going to be a quick one.  Here is a mosaic of some fabulous dog paintings by Ron Krajewski.  If you'd like to see more from this artist or would like a portrait of your pet visit www.ronkrajewski.com.

Enchanted Dolls

I'm not a huge fan of dolls but when I stumbled onto The Enchanted Doll I instantly fell in love.  If you haven't seen these dolls before you're in for a treat.  These are so much more then dolls, they're all tiny works of art.  The artist is Marina Bychkova who I believe resides in Vancouver BC.  She will be showing her personal collection of Enchanted Dolls in a local gallery/shop called Dragonspace on Granville Island, Vancouver, BC. The show will be open February 6th until March 6th, 2010. Hopefully I will be able to make the trip down to see them in person.    Here are just a few pictures but if you want to see more from this artist visit The Enchanted Doll.

Johanna Parker Designs

One of my favourite Paper Mache artists that I discovered early on during my paper mache research is Johanna Parker.  Her specialty is vintage-style folk art.  Here are a couple pictures of her work.  If you'd like to see more from this artist, visit Johanna Parker Design.

Brightly Coloured Creatures

While puttering around on Etsy I happen to stumble onto some beautiful art from an artist I hadn't seen before.  I was instantly attracted to the bright colours used.  The different patterns and shapes all seem to fit together perfectly, creating unique birds, fish, and animals.  If you want to see more from this artist visit Brooke Connor Designs or check out her shop on Etsy.
