Swapsies!

I have been taking part in some swaps recently on Etsy with some of the fantabulous Artisans on there.

AlisClair and I recently exchanged ATC’s (artists trading cards) I sent her an abstract painting from my city scape range and in return I received this:

It is a beautiful textile piece in the most delicious shades of pink and purple. The ATC is titled 'Little Flower' and features an amazing amount of detail and delicate needlework.

I am so envious of her talents! I wish I had studied textiles more at college....Hmmm, maybe I should give it a go?

I also swapped items with the wonderful ArtyAllsorts. In exchange for a Geisha art print, I received this beautiful print of a Tulip after the rain.

The photograph is simply stunning , the colours are lovely and the tiny drops of rain have been captured glistening in the sun perfectly. I am going to be decorating soon and think Artys photographic prints would look perfect in our bedroom. I will be back for more to fill the walls.

Finally, I felt guilty for swapping all these items for presents for myself so, when Lovealittle and Myself exchanged pieces I decided to get something for my sister ‘LizzyCub’. As a trainee primary school teacher I thought this would be a nice, thoughtful and practical gift which she would be able to use in school. How amazing is this..

From the photos you simply cannot understand how cool this piece is! I have been playing with him for days now and my sister will be lucky to even see him let alone own him.
