Eve Simone Photography click here
I'm thinking that Eve may be an alien. (No offense, Eve. Really. Some of my best friends are aliens) She has such an otherworld-y way of seeing ordinary places. And she has some how been able to capture that in film. Or she may just be very talented at what she does. Either way, you should visit her etsy shop where you can share in her captured visions.
Right now, Etsy is overflowing with lockets. Loads and loads. Most of which are beautifully decorated on the outside. With ornate filigree or maybe even hand painted. And while I appreciate their beauty or the skill that went into making them, the ones that I am drawn to always seem to be simple brass lockets with a treasure waiting inside.
Maybe it stems from being the middle child in a poor family and never getting to have anything just for myself. Hmm, maybe. I love the idea of these lockets being just for you to peek at.
My two absolute favorites....

I'll admit it. I don't like art that draws out dark emotions or makes me "think". Or sad for that matter. I don't see movies that I know are going to make depressed. I'm very un-emo in that way. I know, I know, I know, I just lost some cool points.
When I ran into Tali from Jerusalem this morning on Etsy, the first thing I thought was hopeful. And that's what I want from art. All of her characters seem to be looking forward to something. Like they just ran into an old friend or maybe walked outside expecting rain only to find it was sunny or came home to find that their mom just made cookies.
My etsy fave for the week.
Ninainvorm (shop here )
I love when inanimate objects are given there own voice. Love love love.
But when a plate can both talk and rain love? fuggedaboutit.
Trying to get back in the swing of things whether my rotten wrist is ready or not. And to make things trickier (for my wrist anyway), Etsy is just swimming with all sorts of goodies that I want everyone who reads this blog to know about. For today, I focus on what my comrads have managed to do to the boring ol' plain-jane calender.
The calender definition I found on-line is this-
(n) calendar (a system of timekeeping that defines the beginning and length and divisions of the year)
Not on Etsy anymore, Baby. They have take hum-drum and turned it into hum- awesome.
Here's a sampling of my favorites
Decoy Lab click here Yeah, It's a calender and a postcard. I like to multi task, my calender should too.

I am amazed at the patience this kind of art work requires. Patience and I imagine, a very steady hand and a large cup of coffee:)
