Artist: Dahlia House Art Studio

I've been busy making new product for the No Coast Craft-o-Rama and all I can think about is Christmas Christmas Christmas! So in the spirit of Christmas I'll share these gorgeous cards today that I saw on Etsy. They are by Dahlia House Art Studio and are actually manipulated photographs. Don't they look like paintings! I (of course) adore the two with kitties in it. See tons more artwork in the Dahlia House Art Studio Etsy store.

Artist: Rachel Loves Bob

Check out this interesting twist to embroidery. It's embroidery with buttons! These lovely and striking artworks were created by Rachel Loves Bob. Check'm out in the Rachel Loves Bob store.

Artist: Laurie Made

These darlings were made by Laurie Made from 1920's - 1950's vintage patterns. I love the combination of the fresh patterns with the old designs. Cute! See more in Laurie's etsy shop.

Artist: Anne Smith

I've come to the realization lately that I really love cups. I would love a whole wall full of tiny shelves to hold a ton cute cups. Wouldn't that be fun. These gorgeous prints by Anne Smith would fit right in. They are from her "100 cups" series that she is currently working on. I'm partial to the letter "A" one (for Alyssa) heh heh. See many more in her etsy shop and on her website.

Artist: Laura Amiss

It's been a bit gloomy outside lately, but these girls under their umbrellas brightened up my day for sure! They are by the lovely textile artist, Laura Amiss. Check out her etsy store and website for more.

Artist: Mie Kongo

OK, friends and family... Christmas is coming up and I totally want these amazing cups. heh heh. They are created by Mie Kongo. Mie makes the cups, and then creates the handles from vintage molds. When you fire porcelain it shrinks slightly and the handles were made by casting and casting the slightly smaller objects until they were small enough to be handles. You can see an example of all the casts in the last image. Neato! See more of Mie's work in her Etsy store and see her paintings and other work on her website.

Artist: Cruz Designs

Check out these darling hand cross-stitched pouches. I love the cross-stitch combined with leather. See more in the Cruz Designs etsy store.
