I was just saying to Ms L the other night how much I love that fact that we share a passion for art and for surrounding ourselves with beautiful things. Whenever we travel we always seem to invest holiday money on original works of art, and consequently have a fantastic collection of art work on our walls.
A most fortuitous swap occurred a couple of weeks ago when the fabulous flossy-p sent me a message that she wanted one of my Tinnies. She suggested that if I was interested we could do a swap. When I told her that I really loved two of her pieces she told me that I could have both. Isn't that amazingly generous? I absolutely love these incredible artworks on both an aesthetic and emotional level.
One of the great things that has happened to me recently is that I've connected even more strongly with the idea of filling my walls with art that inspires and make me happy. As I've acknowledged my own desire to create art I've recognised the need to completely surround myself with it. Here's a few other pieces on my wishlist that I hope to purchase at some stage.
If you want to see what I've been working at over the past few weeks pop over to CurlyPops and see what I made her for her birthday.

ReplyDeleteTinnieGirl!!! I'm so glad you like your prints so much, and I feel honoured to have some of my work be part of your home gallery. I too love the idea of filling my walls with art. I can't wait to live in a non-rental house when I can finally litter the walls with hooks! :D
ReplyDeleteUpon my return home I was welcomed by an amazingly generous loot package of my own!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE them. Thank-you so much! They're perfect. I intend to give them a post of their very own in the next few days, just to show off how lucky I feel :D
Thanks again so much. This was the best swap!
I love art hanging on the walls too, and you're off to a great start. The pieces from Flossy-P are gorgeous! I love her work.
