Nature Etchings by Marina Terauds

I love finding new amazing artists by complete accident. Today I was google-image-hunting (its a thing) for a transit map of Walt Disney World, and I found a really great one on wolfstad’s flickr stream. So then I decided to check out what other cool things they might have pictures of, and I stumbled upon a few shots taken at a craft show and there was one print that was just beautiful I had to know who it was by. Luckily this wonderful flick user had a pretty hi-res version of the photo so I could see the title of the work and the artists’ signature. After a quick pop into google, I found Marina Teraud! I am just in love with her nature and bird etchings and so happy I found them while looking for a Disney map! Thanks Wolfstad you have great taste in art!

Trivia time in the kitchen. New Tea Towels.

When I first designed the 50 State Creatures Tea Towel I knew I had to make a companion piece featuring 50 state trees and flowers. I assigned each state either their state Tree or Flower and then got drawing. After a few rounds of design, making sure each silhouette fit in with the others on the page, I found a couple flowers that I decided to redraw. I absouletly love how the final design came out, and I hope you do too!
