Bold, Bright, and Beautiful

The paintings at Contemporary Original Art by Pamela E. Miller are bold, bright, and beautiful. My favorites are her originals with lots of texture, but there are many lovely watercolor works and less-textured acrylic paintings in her shop.

Yaslani

I love finding good luck symbols when I'm not specifically looking for them, and the Moonlight piece below with its lucky trunk-up elephant is my favorite find today. There are a lot of good luck symbols scattered throughout Yaslani, so browse a bit and you're sure to find something. I've included photos of only a few mixed media pieces here, but Yaslani also makes an amazing variety of bamboo pendants at very affordable prices.


Moonlight, 4x4 Mixed Media, $20


Citywalk, 4x6 Mixed Media, $25

No-mess No-fuss Pets

BackWoods Creations has a lovely selection of handcrafted fabric animal sculptures and mixed-media fashion accessories. The folkart sculptures are darling--I'd love to have a room full of them. Come have a look!


Benny is the cutest batik striped cat ever! He's guaranteed not to shed or scratch the legs of your furniture, although he's partial to the fingers and ears of small children.



This black and purple hen doesn't have a name. I think she looks like a Zelinda, but if you adopt her I suppose you could pick another name for her.



This poor rose breasted sparrow is also nameless, but it seems obvious to me she wants to be called Petunia. She's housebroken and doesn't require a cage.
