Etsy Spotlight

Listening to "Against Me" by Thrash Unreal

If you're like me you have to absorb Etsy's homepage every now and then. The picks they display on their mainpage vary in everything. It's almost like eye candy sometimes and when I find that one piece that catches my green eye, HEART IT! For those of you unfamiliar with Etsy.. Literally, I click on it as a favorite item and I "heart" it.

Today I viewed Etsy's page and this canvas popped out at me. I know I've seen this artist's work before on Etsy but I must have been in some kind of food coma not to heart her. Her shop is GollyBard, http://gollybard.etsy.com/, and she is quite the artist. Her drawings are simple but aesthetically pleasing to my simple eyes. Above is the drawing that caught my eye. Fortunately for me I love texture and shapes... and that watercolor hits the right spot.

I encourage you to check out her shop. She has quite the array of artwork. I'm hoping that after Christmas to add one of her pieces to my wall. Hmmm... maybe this is when a gift card to an Etsy shop would be perfect. See my last post! ;)

Cheers!

Obsessive Consumption

Listening to "Bodies and Mind" by Great Lake Swimmers.

Hmm.. I think this will be my last post until next week. My sister is having her baby Monday and we're driving up to be with/see her. It's going to be a loooooong weekend and I hope to post something over the weekend. *fingers crossed* I also have a baby shower I'm hosting tomorrow for my friend, Alli. Wish that luck.



The week has slowly winded down and I'd like to leave you by introducing a fellow designer I stumbled upon. Her name is Kate Bingaman and she's a gifted graphic designer. Her bag is "obsessive consumption". She draws what she buys and I think it is absolutely BRILLIANT. The idea is real and it works for me. I love to look at the detail she puts into each drawing. Check out her sketches on her page here. Does this work for you? xoxoxo
