One good thing about being an artist on etsy is that you can find a team that suits you down to a T where the team motto goes hand in hand with your approach to art.
such as this Industrial photograph of debris on drainage pipes in Vermont! I just love those colours and texture
and this professionally laminated photo would look just as superb inside your home, as it does on a wall outside! what a novel and beautiful way to present this art work!
I have 2 unique and tactile redwood assemblages and I was also fortunate enough to win one of Paula's original art photo assemblages which I thought looked just like hares dancing! (I have yet to blog about them, life got in the way last year, but it is on my list for this year :)
I love Paula's style which to me is a simple (uncluttered) yet strong statement in all of her creations.She lets the imperfect beauty of each piece speak directly to you, unashamedly flaunting it as a coveted asset.
and again - perfect either inside or out!
ofcourse if you choose to display your blooms inside then using one of Paula's recycled and finished industrial pipe vases is essential.The scratched paint and rust on each one is such a perfect touch that only time and nature could produce.
and there is a great choice of flowers available, like any well stocked florist!
Paula uses found objects to make her flowers and this is the most perfect use I have ever seen for a faucet!
Now whether your blooms are inside or out, it is always nice to appreciate an object in candle light. It lends an air of introspection and rewards the collector a considered moment with their prize as the eye moves slowly over the shadowed form.
I light my candles every evening and they add so much atmosphere to my tiny flat.
I really love this blue candle holder above, another piece of industrial reclaimed functional art!
This is truly thinking different and totally outside the box and this is the reason I love Paula's work so much!
and if you like quantity as well as quality then a few of these tea light holders will do the job of being fantastic just fine!Could anything imperfect ever be so perfect? I think not!
Now the good thing about being on a team with artists who push the envelope in their thinking and designs is that ideas will come easier to you, inspiration will flow freely and when you see found items all lined up in a row - like these 3 pistons - you will probably have envisioned them doing something interesting, somewhere, in your right-sided-brain.... perhaps some type of steampunk wet room towel rail holder?
maybe even grouped standing on your coffee table in a circle as a silent triumvirate object d'art?
swing open garage door handles?
the serious entry point to your wine cellar?
perhaps you would like to attach them to a piece of furniture as a statement piece?
or steampunk again - towel holders for your wet room?
and ofcourse, if you have a hamster - well - every hamster needs a sturdy but rusty metal bridge to cross at least once a day (sure beats those plastic ones, and hamsters are so not into plastic didn't you know?)
... just Think Different!
thank you Paula for your beautiful art and conceptions :)
and yet I have to be careful how I tread because my real-life living breathing beastie Wesley now resides under my chair. His decision, I have no say and no, he won't budge if he doesn't feel like it! that's rabbits for you :)
I have always had a bit of a soft spot for bright, cheery colors. Somehow they make you feel happy with the world - how could you be sad and gloomy with these sweet little felted wool bowls by hold sitting on your table with all your treasures inside.
With Valentines Day close what a fun and romantic way to say "I love you" with these two little fabric lovebirds sitting on a bright green felt heart by Intres.
Can you imagine your little girl dancing around the house with these perfect ballet flat slippers by la la shoes in bright orange, yellow and orange. Happy feet I say!!
If you are like me I love to wrap gifts in classic brown kraft paper with brightly colored paper ribbons by PaperPhine, and I know the recipient will love it too.
and because I love my art to make a real statement I would make a mini display around it - just like walking past your very own MoMA exhibition - and why not? 
so I would have a scattering of these gorgeous wood spools from Debra of Reminiscence Papers, underneath Mr and Mrs on an old wooden side table
and behind those spools I would have some of these beautiful tactile metal pots by Paula from Paula Art,
and because humour is essential, especially when a congregation of busyness is concerned, 
wear your little stepping out pony necklace to keep pace with you
and because an important thought can come at any time, don't forget your neat, handy note book
and a bag to hold your thoughts, plus those interesting twigs and cones too, that will look so nice on your side table by the window ...
and because the beauty outside lasts only for a short while before mother nature changes her mind and her coat,
You!
and with your heart on view, make sure that you dress in something that makes you feel great!
and to finish off your look, and have some extra chains on you should you spot another heart that you'd like to chain next to yours - 
~ I love this collage with a wax seal by Kelly and can see it on my wall ~ 
~ I love this 'renewal' halter top with ponies on it by Kelly ~
~ loving the intricate detail on this solar etching of a branch by Kelly, though perhaps being a 'solar etching' it is really 'art by sun'! ~
~ I would love to step out with a big smile if I had these swallows chasing bugs on my pins! a beautiful unique skirt by Yuliya~
~ and I love that the swallow skirt comes with a neck garnishing of more agile fliers! again, by Yuliya ~
~ so don't forget your ears (if you adorn them too), love these handmade porcelain stars by Monica, which are a perfect touch to go with the ponies and swallows ~
~ give a thanks and a smile as you appreciate yourself and your home, I love this leaf on handmade paper by Kelly, and that it once enjoyed the sun's rays as you are about to now ~
be brave and mix
mix this into the display too -
then add a little of this in the mix to make your finished confection look delicious!
then make your job so much easier by displaying art that motivates you such as Louise's wonderful print above 'The Journey of a Thousand Miles', 
such as this Industrial photograph of debris on drainage pipes in Vermont!
