Art & Design Magazine
My Etsy shop is having its first sale...after dipping my toes in the water and getting a few sales with relatively no marketing I thought I would try my hand at trying to boost sales this month by getting the word out there and offering discounts here on my blog. Enter code SPRING25 to receive 25% any purchase.... Here is a sneak peak of my blue bird series...to be released this spring. I've arranged the artwork along with new spring furnishings and decor for ideas on how to pull it all together.
Sometimes artwork can be the springboard to your design, color palette or mood of the space. Because the silhouettes are both modern and traditional they with both the lazy day space as well as the romantic dining or writing room. using the periwinkle and white in different ways can lead to two totally different applications.
If you don't have the budget for totally new art there are some ways to change a room with very little effort or expense. Simply changing the matte color or painting the frame can give you a pop of color that can help energize a wall. Take your kids art off the fridge and frame them. I have a piece my daughter did in grammar school that is still hanging front and center in my living room and every time I look at it it makes me smile.
I am often inspired by nature and animals in particular... I love the symbolism and meaning they represent and the kind of totem's they seem to become for people.
So for Spring this year I decided that I wanted to create some pieces that represented the optimism of spring and what could be more auspicious than a pair of blue birds?
Thought to be harbingers of home from sailors abroad... so much so that they would get their images tattooed...Think sailor Jerry. They have also always signified matters of the heart and love which is why I thought they would make a wonderful addition to my spring line.
Perfect on their own or for commemoration I think they would make a lovely wedding or anniversary gift. Available now at my Etsy shop for purchase.
Also in my new spring collection are my new custom child silhouettes, that can be personalized with a name or completely customized with your child's profile! I would love to see these framed and hung (with ribbon) on the door of your child's room.... or in a grouping with silhouettes of the whole family.
The new bee silhouette is is also being introduced and is striking in both black and white. For your hardworking and industrious co-worker, queen bee of the PTA or book club...or displayed in a collection with my other beautiful bugs, butterfly, spider and dragonfly.
