Handmade Division Talk About Blog

Talk about Blog

Our Etsy team has changed their name to HANDMADE DIVISION. Please stop by and follow us on Facebook. http://www.facebook.com/HandmadeDivision.

This month's topic is:

What item do you most treasure made by another artist?

(if there is one) If not, how about what would you *like* to have?

Well, it was just too hard to choose just one piece of art I treasure that I've obtained from others,

so I chose to focus on the newest pieces I've aquired. Of course I love and treasure all of the pieces

Jon makes and you can view his personal works at http://www.themetalgarden.com%20,/

but since he's part of WATTO, I'll focus on other's artwork.

By the way, my photography is not great so they don't do the actual depth of color

that all of these items truly have.

I fell in love with these rings as soon as I saw them and we did a trade
so I could get them as a Christmas present from Jon.
I don't usually wear them together, just did it for the picture.
You can see better pictures of these on her Etsy site.
I get so many compliments on them. LOVE THEM!

I've admired Liz's work for quite some time from afar.

Then I got to officially meet her at an art festival we both showed at.

 It was like meeting a rock star for me. Now we've become friends.

I still can't afford her work, but did obtain

this great littlebusiness card holder that has a print of

one of her paintings. I treasure it!

Keiko Murekami

WOW! Keiko has a beautiful collection of paintings. When she showed me her book of pages of these little paintings I was blown away.It's only 6" x 6" but toally powerful! There is metalic paint too so it has a fantastic shimmer. Jon and I just LOVE it! Thanks Keiko. This is going in our asian inspired bedroom. I just need to get Jon to find the time to make a metal frame for it. I can't wait!

 

Moises Biton

We were neighbors with Moises at the Tempe Art Festival. We made a trade for this amazing print of Johnny Depp. The color is so much better than the picture I took. His watercolors are full of detail and depth. We're proudly adding it to our wall of art!

 

Thanks for sharing all of my recent treasures with me! And thanks to all the artists who created them!

Please note: Not all our members post their blogs at the same time of day; and~ we’re global. We try to get it all on in the morning, but if you happen to get to a blog, before the topic is posted, I do hope you’ll come back later. And likewise, you may not be reading this on the day it posts, therefor, you most likely will not link thru to the writer’s exact Talk About Blog post. For this purpose, Most of the team members will keep a Category for the Talk About blog – so you can search that. Also, we try to use tags on the blog – such as the date, words from the topic, and of course “Talk, About, Blog” etc. these too can help you search the writer’s blog for their Talk About blog posts.
