Grandmothers

All 3 of the Grandmother Embroider Art Series are finished. These are all portraits of my grandmothers. I may make more (because I have 2 more grandmothers). They are available for purchase in my etsy shop. Or you commission me to make custom made portraits of your own grandmothers or other people and animals of importance.

Nest

I love these compositions that are packed with patterns and textures by Rikka Sormunen.

Snowy Early Spring

These are my new etsy favorites. They aren't very spring appropriate but it was supposed to snow today, right? I love to knit and I love Scandinavian fair isle knit patterns and textured cables and these amazing pieces of art have to do with that!! The two deer trophies on the left side are both by an artist named Rachel Denny and the Christmas Lynx on the right is by a London artist named Sandra Dieckmann. I hope you will enjoy my finds! Happy April Fools Day.

Etsy Spotlight: Animal People

Are you an animal person? I am, I love animals, especially cats. I'm a cat person. What kind of person are you? I love art of personified animals, animals wearing people clothes or acting like people.
