Featured Artists, on FAT Tuesday - #2

I created FAT Tuesday to showcase inspiring artists and to provide a forum for Artists to share their work with one another--this includes all types of arts, photography and crafts, including writing and poetry.  If you would like to take part in FAT Tuesday, check out these guidelines:

* Upload the art you want to share onto your blog.

*  Don't forget to leave a link to your art on Linky tools.

*  Be sure to visit other artists who have left their link.

*  Leave a comment when you visit each artist's blog 
(We artists need to encourage each other!)

*  Be sure to put a link to FAT Tuesday on your blog page.
(You can copy the button at the bottom of the page if you'd like.)

Darlene is a wonderful artist, who's talents extend to sculpture and doll making.  This 16" x 20" canvas is one of her favorite pieces, called "Cherish."  She used paints, some old music, a copy of an antique book cover and molding paste to create this amazing artwork.  Darlene believes mixed media arts give us a rich balance of creative freedom.

Indeed this creatively eclectic artist has been an inspiration to me and to many other artists out there!  To see more of this wonderful artist's work, visit Darlene at A Dancing Mango.

 

This exquisitely detailed ACEO (2.5x3.5 inch) card was created by my niece Tory.  I traded one of my own ACEO pieces for it--I think I got the better half of the deal.  She created this piece with ball point pens, in about an hour.  It is a lace of intricacy which intrigues and delights my eyes.

Tory is a wonderful artist - her graphite drawings look so real they might move.  I will be featuring more of her artwork in the days ahead.  Please encourage this incredible young artist by visiting Tori at Tori's Artwork!

Dave's artwork boggles my mind.  He is a sixty-two year old artist with a taste for history and the printed word. This incredibly creative artist been drawing envelopes for well over fifty years and still continues to do so, as he says, "either on a whim, or of necessity."  His exquisitely detailed artwork is an inspiration to me.

To see more wonderful "Mail Art," visit Dave Dube' at Old Paper Art. 

Amber Day's artwork is delicate and absolutely beautiful. Amber is a self-taught artist who's work is a favorite of collectors on Ebay, where she is known as animaegirl.    Amber is the lovely artist who helped me get started on Etsy and Ebay--she has been a huge inspiration and encouragement to me.  She is wonderful.

I have been captured by Henny's wonderful photography and artwork for more than a year.  This is an example of the unique quality of her drawings.  She sees the world in a way which inspires me.   Her recent set of photos capturing the progress of a caterpiller spinning a cocoon fills my heart with wonder.

To see more of Henny's incredible artwork and photography visit her at  iWings.
