Featured Artist Cassandra Bromfield

Hi All!

My featured artist today is Cassandra Bromfield's Company http://www.cassandrabromfield.com She has accessories for your wedding party and creates custom garments.

Cassandra in her own words:
I have custom designed many beautiful wedding gowns by patch working, tie dying, painting and even using non-traditional fabrics like denim and linen. Most of my clients are very artistic and I wanted to create some equally creative accessories.
My bridal pillows are not just for the big day. Use them after on your dresser to display pins and earrings (oh go ahead put a hole in it). The patchwork silk shawls are really great because of the textures and colors (even in tone on tone) create. 

You can also find Cassandra's works at http://cabcomp.etsy.com
On Cassandra's website you will find beautiful custom wedding dresses that she has created. So take a look and leave a comment about which item you would add to your wedding.

Enjoy,

Michelle

Featured Artist: Rabihah A. Mateen

My featured Artist for Feature Monday is Rabiah A. Mateen. Rabihah is a handcrafted jeweler who sells her jewelry on etsy as rmateen. She is a new to etsy seller so show love and patronize her shop. She also has a website at http://ramjewels.com

Rabihah A. Mateen has loved jewelry ever since she can remember, but her passion for beads is rooted in her awe at witnessing the process of bead-making in West Africa. She is impressed by the way community-based groups turn the most rudimentary of raw materials into works of art. Rabihah gets her inspiration from the myriad of texture and color of different types of beads from all over the world ─ each with its unique origin and story. "I had collected beads for years, but didn't know what to do with them until I took a class at a neighborhood bead supply store. Using the beads I had amassed, I started applying the techniques that I had learned."The result was a flood of orders from friends and associates who were drawn to her fresh approach to style using traditional materials. That was five years ago—and she hasn't looked back.

Rabihah designs and crafts each RJD creation as she originally began: with the intention of making something a little out of the ordinary that speaks to an individuals sense of style. RJD incorporates beads made from gemstones, Bali silver and other materials Rabihah has collected during her travels. One of her favorite materials is recycled glass from Ghana. "Not only am I attracted to the aesthetic aspect of the beads, but to the fact that they are made from locally-found recycled materials. Groups sell the beads to provide sustainable livelihoods for their families. So in my small way, I'm supporting green and sustainable development. Who could ask for more?"

Indeed, who could ask for more. Beautiful.

Featured Artist for November 15, 2010 Unessalyn Sweet

Today's featured art is Unessalyn Sweet of My Junky Trunk. I love her tag line "Girl its time to make piece with your Butt." The first illustration is her avatar. She is a visual artist whose work has made me laugh until I had tears in my eyes. She brings to life in her artwork the real issue those of us with a "junky trunk" face.

Which of us haven't gained that "freshman 10 (pounds)" the first year of college? (The second illustration). So click on the title to have your laugh for the day and if you like what you see, make a purchase and share with your friends.

Leave a comment to let me know what you think of her work. Thanks. (For some reason Blogger won't space between my paragraphs today).
