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.

Eu nao fala portugues

"I don't speak Portuguese," is one of the few Portuguese phrases I know, and I'm not entirely positive I've spelled it correctly. Thankfully beauty knows no language barriers, and my visit to ContasBrasil's shop left me wanting to hop on the next flight to Rio.

The Green/Lavanda Fields necklace is one of my favorites.

I am amazed at the detail in this handcrafted Myong Doll Bag. I can't imagine the number of hours this must have taken, and I feel inspired to try my hand at something more intricate than normal.

I am a Canna!

I usually avoid silly quizzes, but this one was fun. I am a Canna: "You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets in the way of what other people think. You are proud of yourself and your accomplishments and you enjoy letting people know that."

Go ahead, try it!

Written Notes Are Not a Lost Art

Anything that brings a more personal touch to communication is a good thing. I found some sweet notecards at vanessa kimball that are both unique and very affordable.
