No sooner had I posted the last post about an art swap arrival than another appeared in my mail box! I am feeling so spoilt. This one is from R. Devi Schåfer-Tjandra in Konstanz, Germany. I've scanned it on some orange card so you can see all the components better. I so love mixed media - can you see the tiny knitted section coming from under the grey card? Just gorgeous :) Many thanks to Belinda for telling me who the last artist was... Does anyone know the links for this artist? S/he included a lovely card, but alas, again there were no links.
...has been arriving as a result of the art swap I took part in. I'm so overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of these pieces. This one is by Hollie Chastain from Chattanooga in Tennessee (I know, I started singing too!). Isn't it just divine? Can you see the pencil doodle in the background? The piece is mounted on an inch-think wooden frame... just love it :) She didn't leave an Etsy or blog address with her parcel, so if anyone knows Hollie I'd love to know her link, if possible?
Do you remember the collage I made for the Art Exchange a week or so ago? Well, I sent off my piece, happy to do so but not really expecting the promised pieces to come back in return... not in a mean way - I was happy to give it a go, but these things have a way of getting derailed, don't they? So, I think I must have just put it out of my mind... Sooo, when some packages arrived in the post yesterday I was wracking my brain thinking... I didn't buy anything off this person; I've never heard of them! ;) Now, before I lead you too far astray... only the last two images are from the art exchange... the last one is of some cards sent by Stephanie from Olive and Ruby on Etsy, and the one above it is an artwork by Jennifer from Field and Sea on Etsy. Aren't they just gorgeous? We're supposed to get 36 artworks back in this exchange (not entirely sure how that maths works but anyway...) I'm just so chuffed that two have found their way here! So, big thanks to Stephanie and Jennifer :) Now, the images at the top of this post are actually something I bought (and forgot about!) So many things happening around here I'm surprised I remember anything. ;) These are the fabulous work of Brooklyn-based artist Jackie Bos. Aren't they fabulous? Visit her Etsy haven here :)
