I discovered a brand new blog and shop!

I just love her miniatures - if her pictures

did not include the Marie Antoinette paper doll,

one would not know that they are miniatures!

This is a French day bed

Her Etsy shop is very unusual and one of a kind in that

the context of the furniture, both historically and

culturally is included.

She explains that her love of miniatures 

started as a child, and she focuses on French and Swedish

designs.

A Napoleon III style couch!

Her blog French Vellum Miniatures Interiors 

you can read about how she finds the bits n pieces,

her process of putting them together,

her research and more

A Marie Antoinette bookcase with

hand made vellum books

Look at this miniature scene -  it is a miniature

terrarium in a box that she made

I just love these topiaries

Her blog is filled with beautiful photographs -

be prepared to be wowed! if you love

miniatures as much as I do.

You can find her Etsy shop at

I would like to feature and share the art work

of Marie of  Softearthart and Softearth's World.

www.softearthart.com - fairies for a child's birthday party

I discovered Marie's blog when I participated in the

Grow Your Blog event.  Her creations took my breath away!

Marie lives in New Zealand and makes wool felt art and

other mixed media beauties.

Her blog is a wonderful mix of sharing her Waldorf inspired wool felt art,

and living her life close to Mother Earth.

Spring Mother and the babies

She says that she draws her inspiration from nature

and its beauty and this you can see in her work.

Mother Earth and the Babies

Marie creates a wonderland of beauty and love -

magical forests

fairy kings and maidens

a place where I would like to live!

She has just shared a lovely tutorial on how to

make your own wool hearts

So pay her blog a visit at

http://www.softearthart and say hi!

Featured Artist and Blogger : Priti Lisa

http://www.pritistudio.com

Every day I find such brilliance, beauty and

creativity in blogland and I always wish

that I could share it with someone

right now!

I often forward the links to friends and family,

but at times I think they feel so overwhelmed

by my enthusiastic sharings that they do not

always open those links!

Somewhere on someone's blog

I found the idea to do a featured artist

and blogger feature right here -

and I created the prettiest badge

for you to display

the original image is from Vintage Made for You blogspot

My first artist and blogger that I am sharing with you

is PritiLisa of Pritistudio (www.pritistudio.com)

I have acquired quite a few of her pieces over the past few years

Lisa made this exquisite journal for me

and I bought this tiny altered prayer book

and this is my absolute favourite

and this one

Lisa blogs from the heart.

She shares her vulnerabilities and her strengths.

Just by reading her blog, you get to know her

and she becomes a part of your world.

Her art ranges from hand made tiles

and mixed media prayer boxes and shrines

Holy Mary Rosary Shrine and Prayer Altar www.etsy.com/shop/pritistudio

to very unique art journals

to 

beautiful original acrylic paintings

Mary is one of her favourite subject matters

as is Frida

If you do not know PritiLisa, then please go
to www.pritistudio.com and
see for yourself.

and she has a beautiful shop on Etsy.com
at www.etsy.com/shop/pritistudio

Keep on writing and creating Lisa
and we will keep on visiting!!

love and blessings
Hettienne
