Ocean!

Recently some of my work have been inspired by the ocean. I thought about adding some life to my work and the pattern of  a clownfish cached my eye. So now someone will be able to wear Nemo on his wrist:) Turned out pretty cheery:)

"besides, I'm a gypsy at heart and I like to travel around"

Again, my item was featured in a treasury box on Etsy by one nice gipsy lover:)

Great quotations: Epitaph for an Unfortunate Artist

Epitaph for an Unfortunate Artist
He found a formula for drawing comic rabbits:
This formula for drawing comic rabbits paid.
Till in the end he could not change the tragic habits
This formula for drawing comic rabbits made.

-- Robert Graves

This one I've put on my wall:)

Great quotations: Robert Brault on talent

"Life is not about discovering our talents; it is about pushing our talents to the limit and discovering our genius."

"The artist uses the talent he has, wishing he had more talent. The talent uses the artist it has, wishing it had more artist."

"You can think of a painter as a trio - the artist, his talent and his muse, the last two always on the lookout for a new brush man."

I really enjoy this idea of the "genius" being an individual force.

Treasury box?

Recently I've got a message from one etsyan, which said "You are in my treasury"..
Whaaaaat?- thought onegreenape to herself  loudly.
And then the search began.
And the enlighment followed: now I am proven to be greenestofthegreen, a complete newbie:)
 I always wondered how all those nice items manages to get on a front page. Now I know. (It's a system similar to Istockphoto "lightboxes" thou:)).
Thank you Mr.Maxwell :D

P.S. This guy makes pretty nice photos, here's his shop:  artsdesireable

Summertime

It's +26 degrees here in Lithuania, the tribe is sitting by a camp(or rather comp)fire, listening to its favourite version of "summertime":)
Peace!

I haven't red any of E. Gilberts books yet, but after watching this video I will definitely add it to my "must do" list.
She makes a great point about the role of "genius" in our creative process. Check it out:
