I’m so inspired by the wonderful artists that I find, and I wish I had something lovely to make and sell.
I would design beautiful clothes for me:
The Canary Dress by Holly Stalder (also at www.hollystalder.com)
…and for my children:
Branches Reversible Jumper Dress by mountain aven baby
I would design handbags made with gorgeous textiles:
Mum Orangy Red by Brooke Galardi of BeeGee Bags (official site with more bags: www.beegeebags.com)
And I would create detailed illustrations of beautiful things:
Anna Spiro’s Chair by Anne Harwell of Annechovie (you should make her wonderful blog, www.annechovie.blogspot.com, a must read!)
But I don’t do any of those things…
What I can do is a little scribbling, which I wrote about recently. In fact, I chose to practice with pictures of Brooke Galardi’s lovely bags:

I have neglected my new hobby with such a busy summer and first week of school. I’d like to get back to it though. And maybe if I improve, I’ll use my Etsy artist muses as inspiration to become one myself.
What is your current muse?
Don’t forget to grab a button and add your Monday’s Muse link over at Cinnamon & Honey every Monday!


Okay, do you realize how talented you are, right? :) That painting is GORGEOUS!
And I bet you could easily sell your paintings on Etsy.
Great muse! Thanks for joining.
Etsy is SO awesome!! I just bought the cutest iPhone holder the other day. And yes, put your paintings up! I'll buy one!
I haven't been to Etsy yet, I know I'm missing out.
Love your artwork!
I love Esty and I love your painting.
I looove your paintings. I don't allow myself to look at Etsy. I have a feeling it would NOT be good for my credit card. It's getting harder and harder to stay away. ;)
You've got talent! You should definitely keep giving yourself those moments to be creative and grow your talents. :-)
Thanks for stopping by, and I totally relate. :-)
I love that yellow dress, and that chair.
Your art is really good. You should definitely start an Etsy store! I love Etsy too, it's so tempting to buy so many things.
I have no muse, dang it. She who bestows muses passed me by. Or I was absent that day. I'm not sure what happened, but I do know that I look at all of these cool and amazing things that everyone else creates, and I can only assume that I've angered someone along the way. I'll have to satisfy myself with window shopping at the windows of those who have muses in residence.
yes i see etsy in your future!
Etsy looks cool. And dangerous!
I hope you get back to your art – you definitely have a talent!
Eeee! That canary dress is CALLING to me.
I love that yellow dress…so pretty. And you are one talented artist Kate. I'm sure etsy shop WILL be a success!
