Iconic Seattle on Etsy

Handpicked on Etsy
Seattle landmarks inspired today's featured Etsy artists. While looking for rain-inspired Etsy creations a couple of days ago, I came across these Seattle related pieces that not only capture iconic images associated with my city, but are also new ways of looking at familiar landmarks. I now want to run downtown and find the exact spots that motivated these creations. To me this is a reminder that no two sets of artistic eyes see things in the quite same way, and that there are countless ways to interpret and convey a common theme,

Catch 'o the Day: Gone Fishin' on Etsy

Handpicked on Etsy
I cast my net in the waters of Etsy this morning and hauled in a mixed catch of creations by Etsy painters, jewelry designers, a fly-tieing fisher and a ceramic tile maker. Painterly styles of impressionism and surrealism, and a variety of media and materials comprise this array of functional and decorative pieces. Included today are some brand new artists to Etsy who only have a few tantalizing listings in their shops right now, but their work is so impressive that I couldn't resist featuring them. I hope you'll click on these pictures to take a closer look at these intriguing creations! Prices range from $2.50 to $275.00.

Little Fish in Etsy's Big Pond

Handpicked on Etsy

Something's fishy on Etsy: Talented artists get lost in that big pond. Today I attempt in my small way to rescue a few from anonymity by featuring their fishy objets d'arts de poisson. Just as birds fascinate us for their freedom in the air & beautiful plummage, so do fish for their gracefully free motion through water and colorful manifestations. Today's featured Etsy artists portray fish in various media, creating objects both utilitarian and decorative, all delightful to the eye. Click on the pictures to go directly to these Etsy listings.
