My Weblog

Here we are again...

Good Thursday afternoon!  This is the last day of my work week at the office and the eve of my art works!  I look forward to a weekend of productivity.  Tere and I work side-by-side each doing our art and readying it for presentation.  Last weekend I did create some new encaustic pieces using my photography...photography is always the base...the beginning...the font of the rest of my art!  It is my first love...speaking of media only!

So here's my favorite from last weekend...........

Standup Pears in a Blue Bowl

This and others are at http://ketzelphotography.etsy.com

And then in my spare time before work this week, I came up with a few new photography listings at Etsy...

                                                                                                                                  Dainty  AND The Early Bird

                             Now I'm busying posting the POE (photographers of Etsy) logo on all my listings.  POE is one of the Street Teams of Etsy which provide group support, resource and sustenance for members who sell at Etsy!  Very Important function, indeed!  Thank you, POE! 

                                                                                                                                 

Here's an update of Tere's beautiful work, now showing at Etsy http://birdandmoonstudio.etsy.com

                                                          On the left is a mixed media presentation of bird with frame...FLY     and on the right is the deepframed shadowbox with miniature Bird in Hand oil painting...Brava, Brava, Brava Tere!!!!!!   

I guess that's it for now...except to say Cuba is getting cuter and more loving everyday...and the cats are need of more jealousy-reducing attention!                                         

Ta Da...a wonderful new find at Etsy

Usually a good part of my morning is spent at my favorite place...Etsy...looking at new and wonderful expressions of humanity!  Today a new artist appeared on my screen...New to me that is...she's actually a life-long artist...and only yesterday began to show her latest work at Etsy.  And the winner is.... www.BirdAndMoonStudio.etsy.com 

Isn't this little guy adorable...Bird and Moon Studio has he and other charming bird sculptures at her site...Take a look!

Okay, okay!  So she's not just any new artist at Etsy...she's my partner in all things and I'm proud to say, in the sharing of the artist path!  Way to Go, Tere!

I'm working away this morning...with a new addition to my Etsy listings...sometimes it is the rusty, dusty, worn things we see everyday, but don't see that have the most wonderful composition in a frame.

And there, I hope you enjoy...See my Etsy listings at www.ketzelphotography.etsy.com... Have a great day!
