ImeonDesign

I can happily report that I bought a Christmas card from ImeonDesign and loved it! ImeonDesign doesn't stop with Christmas either, with Valentines day coming up let's take a look at a couple of her latest offerings.

One of my favorite offerings from the ImeonDesign Etsy shop is her Hearts card. I think this is a woderful example of ImeonDesign's eye for design.

This three heart card will provide the perfect means to tell your loved one how much you really care!

The Love card expresses everything you need with four sweet and simple letters!

DeCouStudios

I met Mark DeCou several years ago when I first joined the LumberJocks community. From the very beginning I have been impressed with Mark's workmanship. Mark is also a very giving man, never shying away from assisting a fellow woodworker.

One of my all time favorite pieces of Mark's is available through his Etsy store today. In my opinion, the Arts and Crafts Mission Style Table Lamp is the perfect example of Mark's skills as a woodworker. The complicated compound miter and lap joints required to construct the lamp shade alone is a testament to Mark's skills. I can only hope to one day acquire the skills to attempt a similar project.

The table lamp is a build to order piece and requires several weeks to construct, so please be sure to consider that should you contact Mark about purchasing one of these beautiful lamps. For additional information and images of the Arts and Crafts Mission Style Table Lamp, click here.



Another wonderful skill the Mark possesses is that of carving.

Mark has made many beautiful walking sticks and canes by combining his skills in wood turning and carving. The Handcarved Wood Spirit Natural Sapling Hiking Stick is a wonderful example!

This natural elm tree sapling has been carved to expose a wood spirit near the handle. There is also an inlaid natural mother of pearl piece from a Chase County Kansas Middle Creek River Clam Shell on the end of the stick.

For more information and images of this walking stick, click here.


Finally, here's a link to DeCouStudio's Etsy shop. I hope you can take some time to visit and possibly even spend a little money! I also hope you enjoy DeCouStudio's work as much as I do.

MichellesClayCorner

Michelle, the genious behind MichellesClayCorner, designs some of the coolest clay figurines I've seen. It is so easy to see that she loves creating each and everyone of her pieces!

Michelle's signature piece comes from her Gingerbread Man series. With more than a dozen designs, there is sure to be one (or more) Gingerbread Man for everyone!
This little character, enjoying some ice fishing, is about 2 inches tall, 3 inches deep and 2.5 inches wide. Michelle uses no molds in her character creation and, with a few exceptions on the accessories, each piece is hand made of polymer clay.

For more details and images of this figurine, click here.

Michelle's talents do not end with her Gingerbread figurines either. If you are looking for a special topper for a birthday cake or want to have that special tree ornament to remember your child's early Christmases, head on over to MichellesClayCorner's Etsy shop. I hope you can take some time to visit and possibly even spend a little money! I also hope you enjoy MichellesClayCorner's work as much as I do.

For more about Michellesclaycorner, here's a little interview with Michelle that was done by one of my previous Etsy Favorites AnnabelsAprons.

applesaucemoss

For as long as I can remember, I have always enjoyed drawing. I also enjoying seeing what other people create with their artistic talents and AppleSauceMoss' art wotk caught my eye right way!


Bunny Girl is one of my favorite pieces available in the ApplesauceMoss Etsy shop. Pencil sketches have always intrigued me in their seeming simplicity and Bunny Girl does not disappoint.

AppleSauceMoss has done a wonderful job in bringing Bunny Girl to life. The glimpse of an innocent girl clinging to her stuffed rabbit drives the viewer to want to know more about the current circumstances... or at least I do!

Bunny Girl is an 8.5 x 11 inch signed print of an original drawing originally drawn in pencil on holbein paper.
The printout you will receive is on glossy paper and will not have the watermark shown in the image to the left.
