Hello all,
This is Staci in Washington. I just noticed that it still says staci crowe, i wonder is i can fix that? Anyway, Alot has happened since my last post such as moving into our appartment, settling into my job, finding and going to church, the usual stuff. both of our parents and extended family have come to visit us and I've made some really nice friends at work. Lately as I always do I'm really excited about decorating and looking at pretty things, luckily we just now got internet access so its no longer bound to only books and magazines :P Ive kinda spent an hour this morning looking at sites like pinterest and etsy and other blogs. It is raining outside after all. :P I love eucalyptus, its a childhood smell! anyway here are some sweet finds i found in my driftings:
silver eucalyptus leaf necklace on etsy
Somebody's art of eucalyptus sold on etsy
Some super awesome cabbage-bloom earrings also sold on etsy
I also came across a remarkably talented artist whose oil painting look more realistic than if youd taken a picture of his subject, his name is Davis Jon Kassan. Here are some examples of his work,
So apparently he uses "fingerpainting" on an ipad, as i was looking up some more of his stuff i realized this. This looks like the one below was painted with a brush but not so.
which is kindof a bubble popper, seeing he's really good with the ipad too it makes you wonder which as done with a medium and which was done digitally. not that both aren't art because they both took talent and work but looking at a paintingdone with paint seems so much more inpressive as there is no undo button and you have to learn the trade.

Well thats all for now :)
