Expanding activity

Lately, I was expanding my activity.
First, there were the Holidays, and when making my crafted gifts, I used my paintings to decorate them. I made coasters and key holders, and also Mezuzah cases and wine charms.
True, crafting is a hobby, but things came out so beautiful and so warmly accepted, that it convienced me to open a second shop for housewares and gifts:

art print coasters

wine charms

And then I thought: if I can use my own paintings on coasters, why not make them available too?
Well, you can't expect everybody to buy original art - but there are other ways to make my art accessible.
So I oppened a third shop for art prints, calendars, bookmarks and other graphics for instant download:

digital painting for instant download

printable bookmarks for instant download

Now, isn't it the most wonderful excuse for my long absence?

Inspired By Nature

I have shared with you my artistic inspiration in the pat, and also how nature itself provides such inspiration.

My new collection too includes items that were inspired by nature. Such is this new necklace:

red and chartreuse wire crochet necklace

The source of inspiration this time was Physalis Alkekengi, also known as "Chinese Lantern", "Japanese Lantern" and many other names:

The necklace - as well as it's matching earrings - represnt all of the advantages of my wire crochet jewelry: they can be colorful but transparent, voluminous but light weight.
And most of all: fun to make :)
