Original mixed media artwork by Jayme McGowan @ Roadside Projects
The Camera by roadside projects @ Etsy.

This is actually Part 001 of Project #001 (a series of psychological portraits) by artist Jayme McGowan.

This is “a one-of-a-kind, three-dimensional box construction intricately crafted with cut paper, watercolor, and ink in a handmade frame with glass front.”

You can also find Parts 002, The Letter + 003, The Headphones & 004, The Costume in the shop.

35 mm multiple exposures photography by Maureen Boyle
Faded Forest by the seven fields of aphelion @ Etsy.

Maureen Boyle uses 35 mm film and multiple exposures, and although I like the idea underlying her work I am not so fond of most of her other photos, but I love this one a lot. It seems to have just the right feel about it, and certainly goes beyond the “process” involved in the creation…

abstract paper collage
Original Paper Collage, Abstract Works on Paper by Cherie Lester.

Cherie Lester is also a photographer, but I am not so fond of her photos as I am of those paper collages of hers. The first one is an original, whereas the second one below is an archival print.

You can also see some paintings on her website.

This is just a small part of the Easter reading guide @ desire to inspire.

midcenturyjo @ desire to inspire issued an “easter reading guide” in 4 parts last week and I was absolutely thrilled and truly honored to find a thing of beauty… included.

I did not find the time to extensively browse through all the great and inspiring blogs listed there but I sure will, especially since I have not worked on my blogroll yet and was planning to this week-end… Love it when people do the job for you ! (hint hint)

midcenturyjo has been at it before and you can find all her reading guides here.

Desire to Inspire is indeed an inspiring blog - mainly focused on interior decoration - and the work of midcenturyjo & kim - “an Australian and a Canadian trying to inspire the world, one room at a time”.

midcenturyjo also has an Etsy shop.

Mandy Lamb & Mikael Kennedy - 306
“306″ by Mandy Lamb & Mikael Kennedy @ Etsy.

I had not browsed through Etsy’s Treasury for a long time although it is always a good way to discover new artists. This is how I stumbled upon Mandy Lamb in a treasury collected by thepairabirds.

The name of her Etsy shop is not Mandy Lamb however, but 1977 and at the moment there is only this book “306″ which contains 306 polaroid images by Mandy Lamb and Mikael Kennedy. It is a limited edition of 50 signed by both artists.

Mandy Lamb & Mikael Kennedy - 306 - extract 2

The photos, polaroids made with the now cult SX-70 Polaroid camera and expired films have that special quality you usually find associated with that magic combo. You can see more of her work on the sold section of her shop or on her website www.mandylamb.com.
