Hello everyone!

I would like to announce the launch of my new Etsy store, the Unfinished House.

ORIGINAL ART for sale in my new Etsy store now:



ALSO! If you have seen a piece in my gallery that you think you would like to purchase, but it is not for sale in my store, please contact me! Just because I haven't posted it in my store, doesn't mean I'm not willing to sell it!

ONE MORE THING! If anyone is willing, I am very eager to have some feedback on my new store. What do you think of my profile page, my shop policies, the shop itself? Are the descriptions given for each item sufficient? I was very uncertain about pricing, do you think my prices are fair? Any comments or suggestions you have would be really appreciated.

AND! For a long time, I have been very curious about the people that watch me... I would love to know a little bit about all of you - whatever you'd like to tell me. My name is Sarah. I like to make beautiful things. My favourite meal is breakfast, because it comes at the start of a new day- and that is very exciting! I love bananas and children's stories... One day, I hope to have some of my own children's stories published... in the mean time, I plan to eat many bananas. Your turn!

FINALLY, in honour of the launch of my new store, I am offering three FREE mini commissions. The first three people to leave a reply on this journal will receive an entirely free 10cm x 10cm piece of original art on a theme of their choice. (If they want one, of course!)

Thank you all for all your love and support! It has helped build my confidence so much... encouraged me to continue to create, experiment and strive to improve...

Dance with me!

Sarah

P.S. that my journal CSS functions correctly!

Hello DA people!

It's been a while, but I'm back! I've been working on some bigger projects (more news on those soon) that have kept me away from DA, but I hope to be a little bit more of a presence hereabouts over the next while. I'd like to apologise yet again for all the unanswered comments and all the fly-by faving. I'd like to thank you all for all the watches and favs. A big hello to all my new watchers!

In other news, in the next few weeks, I will be officially announcing the opening of my online shop. More on that soon!

Now for my inspiring artist of the week:



I find ~kaiserknife truly inspiring, both because of themes he explores and the way he uses his chosen materials. His pictures sing hidden magic. Please check out his beautiful gallery.





More from me soon,

Sarah

I disappeared for a long time! So many apologies for not responding to comments or thanking you all for favourites... I appreciate everything - apologies too for all the fly-by faving - I simply have so little time. I'm back in as big a way as I can manage.

Thank you all for your beautiful art. It inspires me every day.

Today I've decided to do a small feature on some of my favourite artist's on DeviantArt who specialise in artisan crafts.






=elbooga's plushies make me want grin and dance. Simple, colourful - with detail in all the right places... they bring me back to my childhood. You won't regret browsing =elbooga's colourful gallery.






~ligreego makes some of the most beautiful dolls I have ever seen... sad, soft, tender and so sensually appealing... you just can't help but want to hold them in the palm of your hand and keep them safe. Visit ~ligreego's beautiful gallery.






~sergey-oriart's gallery is filled with the most amazing origami I have ever seen! His artwork, sometimes joyful, sometimes melancholy, sometimes just plain fun, moves me deeply. Visit ~sergey-oriart's unique gallery.


And that's just a small taste of some of the fabulous artisan crafts that can be found here on DA. Why not browse artisan crafts and see what treasures you can discover...

It's been ages since my last feature... it's about time I featured someone new! Today we have someone who warms me heart and soul, sweet ~pentelka.




~pentelka is a very wise woman.

She is prepared for emergencies.



She has a very good eye for handsome men and beautiful woman. And when you are in dire need of a husband or a wife, she, with some cloth and a little magic, will fashion one for you.



She has unearthed the mysteries of the deep dark of night.



But most important of all, she understands joy and sadness, magic and dreams!



And also love. Love most of all.



Please go right this minute and be really sweet to ~pentelka, because she deserves it. Immerse yourself in her wonderful world of cloth and magic.
