First etsy purchase June 18, 2007

I’ve done it!!

I’ve been on Etsy so many times, but there’s just too much choice and too much nice stuff.  But I’ve gone and done it and purchased some illustrations, hopefully to hang in the living room when it’s decorated (that’s another story!).

It took me two nights to decide, but I love the ones I’ve chosen, they remind me of outsider art, I’ve got the book Raw Creation, and have bought the Raw Vision magazine a couple of times.  I like the fact that these people are self taught.

Anyway here’s my pics bought from Yellena

It was a hard decision to make and there’s still some other’s I’ve got my eye on, like this one, and this one, and this one, and this one, and this one, I told you there was too many.  If anyone out there is looking to buy me a prezzie look no further!!

I’m also having some images printed up by my talented younger brother, he’s 17 and taking a photography course. He should sell these on Etsy.

Hope fully it won’t be too long to my next post, I still need to photograph the spring quilt, and I’ll be able to post finished workroom shots soon (shouted loud so the husband can hear).  But for now tata.

Beautiful Illustrations November 30, 2006

My first post on a shiny new blog, I did have a free typepad account that I used a place to store all the lovely things/ideas I came across, but I’ve decided to start a proper blog.  I don’t know how often I’ll get to post, but I’d like to try and make it a habit (I do enough surfing!!). 

 I came across this illustrator on wikipedia, he’s called John Bauer and spent some time illustrating a book of Lapland fairy tales, I’d love to get hold off a copy
