Art on Etsy

You've probably picked up on the fact that I like Etsy.  It's a great website and there is so much wonderful crafty inspiration to be found there, and lots of stuff that is just plain cool.  I thought that today, I'd share some more Etsy finds, this time focusing on art pieces I've found on Etsy, meaning things that involve artwork or illustration, or even if they're not typical art, have an especially artistic or artisan look to them.  Instead of giving you a random conglomeration of items, this time I'll organize my "shares" by the Etsy store they came from.  This way, you'll get a peek into some of the Etsy stores that I think are artistically excellent.

The first store I want to highlight today is Boy Girl Party.  I adore the whimsical, fun style of all the items in this shop.  And the color choices are great, too.  Often, they're more muted tones, but still so bright and fun looking.  The artist behind it is Susie Ghahremani, and she does some excellent illustration work.  Here are four of my favorite things from her shop.

1. Yellow Owl To Do List | This is so cute!  I love the hand-drawn font and lines.  This notepad would definitely make writing to do lists much more fun.
2. Change of Address Announcements | If I were moving, I would want these.  They are so adorable!  I love the choice of turquoise as the main color, and the lines and the "fill in the blank" style of the whole piece is wonderful.
3. Piano Art Print | The dim colors in this remind me so much of retro, 1970's kind of colors.  This print is funky!
4. All Occasion Label Set | These are marvelously fun.  The "to/from" ones would certainly dress up a package, and just the fact that they're stickers is nice.  I have a long standing love for stickers.

I hope you like the items from Boy Girl Party as much as I do.  Please check out Susie's Etsy shop and website for more!

Next up is a really neat shop I came across recently called Decoy Lab.  They have some excellent artistic items of various sorts, but my favorites are their cool clocks.  Here are two I like.

1. Kirie03 | This laser cut design on wood is so neat.  White and woodgrain is a favorite combination of mine, and I absolutely love how it is applied in this clock!

2. Wall Hanging Cuckoo Clock - Aqua | The first thing I like about this is the color, but I also like the way that a printed design is used as a clock face.  The design is very kitschy, and I like that too.

Aren't those clocks fun?  The design is so creative, as are the rest of the items in the Decoy Lab shop.  Definitely check it out if you're interested!

The next Etsy shop I want to show you is called Hello Jenuine.  Again, this artist does some great illustration and art!  The style seems very "woodsy" in a pleasant way.  It's simple and comfortable.  Here are three pieces that I like.

1. Can I Have a Shot Print | I remember these little plastic cars from my childhood!  I never had one that I know of, but I remember seeing them.  They are neat.  I love the colors in this print, and the black outlines - such a nice touch.
2. This is Tomorrow Print | I love the subtle, rainbow colors of this, and the consistent, flowing dot things.  It's very easy on the eyes - just a beautiful, simple piece.
3. Treehouse Gocco Print | This is another whimsical, childhood-reminiscent print.  I love the colors and the lines.  This is a collaboration of two artists.

That's all for today!  I'd love to know what you think of these artsy items.  Do you have a favorite?  Or is there something in particular you like about one of them?
