I am constantly wowed by the talent in my home state. I'd like to share a few of the artists with you.
Faith Ann Originals from Milwaukee and Appleton often uses my favorite shade of green. I go wild with joy when I see that soft shade of green. I reminds me of Chinese celadon pottery. Here is a link to Faith Ann's store: http://www.etsy.com/shop/FaithAnnOriginals
There's a shade of blue I also adore, and funny thing, I found it on a clutch from another Wisconsin artisan. Here's that link: http://www.etsy.com/listing/74688626/madeline-pleated-clutch-with-removable. Pieces By Jen hails from Janesville, WI, and she loves to sew. Check it out. You might just need a new purse.
I'm thinking about buying this unique sunflower necklace. It's sort of retro--got to love retro--and calls to me. http://www.etsy.com/listing/45613354/picnic-day-vintage-button-necklace.
Whimsy House has lots more cool jewelry. Working from Middleton-Madison, I could hop on the freeway and be there in three hours.
Do check these out. I'll be posting more ideas in the next few days.
Thanks so much, Candace! High praise from a dedicated and talented watercolorist!!!
ReplyDeleteBTW, glad to give you that soft shade of green ANYTIME! You can find me in my little basement studio, or "pounding clay" and pressing flowers at the old picnic table in my backyard. Tell your friends they're welcome to come by and watch if they'd like :) I'd be honored!
