Bellacosaart - Original Unique Art

Good morning everyone! I felt it was time to feature a painter for today's posting.

I met Bellacosaart when I joined the BNKO/Holiday Shopping Extravaganza thread on Etsy. She is a very talented painter and also features items that are ecosystem friendly. That's definately a plus in my book :)Today's first item is a painting of peppers. A piece of canvas was stretched over a recycled cedar plank. I love the rustic look and am definately looking to decorate my kitchen when hubby and I move into a place of our own. She also has tomatoes and garlic painted in the same way.The second item for today is also very eco friendly. This beautiful landscape was painted on a brown paper bag! This just goes to show that great artwork can be painted or drawn on anything. She has many more paper bags to choose from so you definately must check them out!

Well, I'm off to the lab. Check back tomorrow for the next featured shop!

Sandy's Sundries - Crochet, Knitting, & Painting

This post is a little late today. I've been swamped today with classes and homework. I'm taking a much needed break to bring you today's store.I met Sandy on the Daily BnR thread. She's a very talented crocheter, knitter, and painter. The items I'm featuring are just a couple of the many treasures you will find in her shop. Check out sandyssundries for more!

Today's first item was chosen because of my obsession with all things marine. Sandy also loves ocean life so when she started crocheting jellies I just had to have one. I own the first one ever made and it's keeping me company sitting on my "inbox." Sandy's Portuguese Man-O-War looks very realistic and I was honored when I was summoned for advise :) Be sure to check out more of her jellies! They come in all shapes and sizes.This second item was posted just in time for Halloween. I love the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas and Sandy has painted some salt and pepper shakers to look like Jack Skellington! You might want to snatch these up quickly - she's already sold one set ;)
Be sure to check out the rest of Sandy's shop for great fingerless gloves, belts, jewelry and more!
