Tiffany Teske, an Amazing Photographer

To begin this unique photographic art Tiffany Teske captured an image on slide film. The slide was then projected onto Polaroid pack film which was peeled prematurely. The “waste” side of the film pack, which contains processing chemicals, was then placed face down onto wet watercolor paper and brayed (rolled over with a print making brayer). The result is a one-of-a-kind hand-pulled photographic transfer of the original slide image. The original image can be transferred an unlimited number of times but the resulting transfer will always vary from the last.


Fly, $35



Lion Head Fountain, $35



Unruly Children, $30

Putting Art in Your Hands

I found the coolest things today in Glory2727's etsy shop! This artist paints on items you can use everyday, and the prices are reasonable enough that anyone can afford to include a bit or original art in their life.



These Flowers on Soap are useable bars of soap. The art has been sealed, so as you lather the soap gets used from the bottom of the bar.




This Designer Ruler has been sealed with two coats of varnish, so you can use it without fear of wearing down the artwork.
These Pretty Posey Bookmarks have been laminated to protect the beautiful floral painting.

Glory2727 also sells gorgeous original paintings, prints, ACEOs, and notecards.

I Was Meant to Love You

Someday I'd love to have a huge collection of art. For now I satisfy myself with searching out new artists, and an occasional splurge on an art-print greeting card. This print by Valérie Parizeault of Witty Workshop is one of my new favorites.





I may splurge on one of her greeting cards. She has a unique way of saying "I love you," that stays with you long after the card has been opened.

Make sure you check out her blog for her monthly giveaways!
