Pottery Mugs in Spring Colors - Set of Four Large Stoneware Coffee Mugs
"I can't stop making stuff. I make something almost everyday. I've dabbled in several media, but I've always had a special love for clay. It feels so good to create something from virtually nothing. A hunk of earth becomes a bowl or mug. Something beautiful but also useful. My process is relatively simple. Most of my work is made on a kick wheel. That's old fashioned foot powered goodness! Since I'm right handed I use my right foot to kick the wheel counter clockwise. Do I have one buff strong leg and one wimpy weak leg from this you might wonder? The answer is... not yet. My pottery is durable cone 5 stoneware meant to be used every day. This means I've fired it to about 2167 degrees F. HERE is my Facebook page. Become a fan for updates."

Daisy Chain Art

Golden green daffodil (4x4 inch mini canvas)
"Daisy Chain Art is brought to you by the artist Marion McConaghie and her range of canvases and greeting cards. Her mixed media artwork brings together her love of nature and the historical. She has a fascination with natural ageing processes and incorporates into her images the textures and colours from things such as flaky paint and rust that the passage of time produces. Marion grew up in rural Ireland near the coast, where her love of art began. She is now based in the south east of England."

Trisha Flanagan

Pink Heart Pendant, Pastel Pink Enamel Necklace, Spring Jewelry
"When I was younger, I discovered that creating art was a more natural way to communicate & express myself then to talk. I have spent countless hours in various art rooms throughout my life, asking questions, developing my skills & making friends along the way. This lead me to the Jewelry & Metals program at the Alberta College of Art & Design in Calgary.
Since then, I’ve worked actively at developing my skills in designing & manufacturing my own style of jewelry. A few of my pieces have been in galleries in & around Calgary.
With encouragement from friends & family, I have opened my Etsy shop and I am looking forward to the experiences that come with it. All my pieces are created in my home studio with care & consideration just like a custom order, insuring quality every step of the way. My other aim is to offer exceptional customer service so we both can be thrilled with your purchase"

Lily Pang

Small Print Early Summer
"I am an artist from Singapore and a full-time mother to a baby daughter. I was born in China and studied in USA. I followed my heart and came to live in Singapore, a beautiful small island country in South East Asia after graduation.
Before becoming a full-time mother, I was a university lecturer and researcher. After surprising pregnancy of my daughter, I decided to pursue my passion of art and a mother these two wonderful things at the same time.
I live in my artist dream everyday. Painting is something that I am passionate about and a daily activity for me besides taking care of my baby. I love romantic, elegant, dreamy and natural themes. You can find that in all of my paintings.
I also love to experiment. I painted in watercolor, acrylic and digital media. You can find that the art of similar style expressed in different media in my store. I am still exploring and always want to have surprises."
