FAMILY RULES SUBWAY ART

http://www.etsy.com/listing/87570978/family-rules-vinyl-subway-art-board

I love the new family rules subway art.  What a wonderful idea and addition for any home, a constant reminder to be thoughtful, considerate, honest, and everything you can be.  A reminder to treat your family members with respect and to show how special they are to you.

Here are just a few of the many examples I found on Etsy.  You can buy one already made or have one custom made just for your family, and there is one priced just right for you.  Check these out and then do your own search.

THE GREAT UNKNOWN

When I was in college one of my favorite classes was MicroBiology, at least the lab part!

One of our assignments was to culture an unknown organism in a petri dish, growing it, nurturing it and identifying it....

Mine was....Serratia Marcescens...

         Soap Serratia Marcescens

When I saw this soap in CleanerScience I knew what my next Blog Article would be....and yes, I did accurately identify my unknown.

A search with the term microbiology brought up some great items, especially for anyone who loves Science labs....
Here are a few items that I found fun :)

                        Petri Dishes

     S. Pneumoniae Bacteria Necklace

             Microscope Slide Magnets

                  Petri Dish Pendant

                      Microbe T Shirt

               Mixed Microbes Ring

Gram Negative Pink Bacteria Necklace

Just click on the name under each photo to be taken to the item and the shop they can be found in....
If you are a lover of science or need to find the perfect gift for one...maybe something as unique as these items would work for you!

Autumn Gallery of Original Art from the Etsy Artists

I love Autumn. I'm always ready for it after a long hot summer and the colors are so beautiful.  The Fall season renews my spirit as much as Sring does.

So I went looking to see what the Etsy artists are creating to celebrate this wonderful season.  I figured that the colors would give an artist true inspiration, and I wasn't disappointed.

Here are a few that I found, and I hope you enjoy the Autumn Gallery of Original Art from the Etsy Artists.

This gallery could go on forever, but I hope it's excited your interest and you'll check out all the original artwork that's available on Etsy and all the other e-commerce sites as well.  There is original art available to everyone no matter what your budget is.

(Yes, I know it's VE's day, but she encountered a major computer problem so we switched days.)



I found a great new shop on Etsy...Let me introduce you to...

                                        Nino Art Prints

From Nino's profile page.

"My whole life is dedicated to Art. Art is what moves and motivates me- as a full time artist/sculptor/jeweler.

I was born and raised in country of Georgia where I graduated as an Artist/Sculptor. For many years I worked for an Americas leading art publishers. Now I am a full time freelance artist. My work are in corporate and private collections Internationally. You can see more at my personal page www.ninoart.com

I have a jewelry store here on Etsy, as well.
www.agoraart.etsy.com"

When I view her artwork I feel like I have just stepped into sunshine...see what I mean?

                                                     Sunny Day

I find myself wanting to visit each of the homes, villages and countries she has brought to life with her art.

                                                Arboles

                                               Landscape

                                                    Casas II

And she is offering free shipping in the US on all of her prints, how great is that!

Nino's jewelry shop (you will want to check her jewelry too) has been open for a while but her art print shop only opened in April of this year....I hope you enjoy her art as much as I do...

Clicking on the names under her shop and pictures will take you directly to the item....

SMALL FORMAT ART

Small format art is not an ACEO, although it is an offshoot of the art card.
I've done several art cards but prefer the small format art because there is more flexibility in the size, and you can use more variety in the surface you select.  Some surfaces create problems for the collector of ACEOs.

Small format art (SFA) offers mixed media, collage, and fiber art, as well as photographic, watercolor, oil, acrylic, and pastel original works.  One thing I like is that you don't find the prints of original work in the SFA area like you do with ACEO's.

Here are a few examples I found on Artfire, Zibbet, and Etsy. I hope you enjoy them, and maybe you will find one just right for your space.
