Collectible Treasures

Most of my collections include items that are vintage; I usually gravitate to those things with history and a former life.  However there are many wonderful handmade items that would spark my desire to start a new collection if I had the physical space in my home.  But without that extra room it just can not be, so I will collect the here virtually.   I hope it sparks your imagination as it does mine.

Monday Meet and Greet the Members of the Pacific Postcards Team - GingerKellyStudio

Our Meet and Greet the Pacific Postcards Team member is Lauren Kelly Small owner of Etsy shop, Ginger KellyStudio.  Laura's shop is absolutely stunning; her art work draws you in and you will find yourself on a mystical journey through haunted woods and magical meadows.  I love her artwork and find just captivating.  Best of all is that she uses her art to create postcards, what could be better than receiving a card that lets your mind wander into a fantasy.  Here are some of my favorites:

From Lauren's Profile:

"I'm Lauren. Graphic Artist, Illustrator and Fashion designer from Upper Orara on the Mid North Coast of NSW, Australia.

I'm known as Ginger Kelly or Ginger Kelly Studio on many art forums online. I love to make things. I'm inspired by dreams, folk tales, mythology and places I've visited & fallen in love with. I read traditional fairy tales from around the world and children's storybooks. I admire Pre-Raphaelite art and vintage photography.

Sometimes I am asked what I do with my spare time. The truth is, I fill every hour of every day painting and drawing as well as making jewelry and designing and sewing clothes so I don't often have 'spare' time!

It is my dream to one day have my own cottage and art studio with a stable and field for my horses that comes right up to my studio window. To be able to support & express myself through my artwork and design is my ideal existence and I hope to make this dream a possibility by sharing my artwork and imagination with you.

Please visit my website for more information and to view my artwork portfolio

xxx Lauren

ABOUT MY ARTWORK

I use many mediums in my artwork, though I prefer to work in pencil or using digital painting and digital photo collage techniques.
Many of the artworks in my gallery are photo manipulations/collages using my own photography and/or royalty free stock images generously provided for use by the photographers/models.

♦ Prints are professionally printed on high quality 160-210gsm Matte or Satin finish paper, ready for framing

♦ Size vary from small postcards to large A3 posters. All prints have a thin white border for easy framing. Border-less printing is available, please send me a message if interested

♦ All prints are reproduced exactly as intended. Please be aware that images may appear darker on some types of computer monitors.

I hope you enjoy my shop gingerkellystudio.etsy.com"

I must say that I wish I could go to Lauren's lands of misty forests and swim with her mermaids. She has truly drawn me into her art.  Here are some more of her magic fantasies:

Monday Meet and Greet the Members of the Pacific Postcards Team - IsabellsUmbrella

Our Meet and Greet Pacific Postcards Team Member today is Ashely Giessing owner of a beautiful little shop called Isabell's Umbrella.  Her art work is simply adorable and each character comes to life.   Isabell's offers a selection of  notecards, jewelry, stickers, book plates and more, but of course, my favorite is the Postcards!

Here is a bit more about Isabell's Umbrella from her Profile on Etsy:

"About Isabell's Umbrella
Isabell's Umbrella grew from an obsession with stationery, writing instruments and design. Ashley Giessing, owner/artist, believes she should have been born in the nineteenth century, when all correspondence was done by hand.

Highlights of her childhood include drawing, making little notes and stationery for her little brother and older sisters, and the monthly letters she would receive from her dear Grandma Sweetie.

It was when Ashley first entered the design field that she that she began dreaming about creating her own line of stationery. Four years later, Ashley took that leap -- opening Isabell's Umbrella in January of 2008. She looks to the future and growth of Isabell’s Umbrella with a plan for success.

Specializing in stationery that will lift the clouds of a rainy day, Ashley’s hopes are to renew the lost "art" of hand correspondence by creating stationery you will want to share with others. "There is nothing that means more to me than a kind, heartfelt, handwritten note from someone I love."

About Me
Located in a valley much like somewhere else I've been, I spend my days working as a graphic designer in the marketing department of an architectural firm. My evenings are filled by my son, daughter and husband whom I all love dearly... and my nights and free time (ha!) are spent dreaming up designs and doodles for Isabell's Umbrella. I drool over thin-tipped pens, stationery and unique office supplies, and oh yeah, I also collect books"
