Seaside 2 by selflesh @ Etsy.

This is a limited edition print of an “original gouache painting of multi-colored dots, which was embroidered with teal thread” by Shannon Rankin.

There is also a Seaside 1 (with pink threads) as well as a Seaside 3 (with green ones) and you can see a picture of the 3 side by side here @ her Flickr.

She also sells original embroidered paintings. I like this one very much (it has now been sold) :

Oceanic Craters Ceramic and Glass Dish by seaurchin @ Etsy.

Whenever you come upon the Simply Gorgeous and Beautiful it is better to just sit back and let the artist do the talking :

One-off ceramic sculpture, this low dish has a pattern of large double craters. The bowl is made of sculptural white clay and has been glazed with a matt ivory stoneware with chocolate brown in the craters. Aqua coloured glass has been melted into some of the craters and the edges have been highlighted with gold lustre. Some of the craters are pierced right through, and some are very thin so you can see the light coming through….this gives an interesting effect with the glass.

The dish is 4.5inches/11.5cm across and 1inch/2.5cm high.

All of my sea urchin and coral ceramic sculptures are individual and experimental, and very personal to me….my true artwork!

This is intended as an object of beauty only….it is not intended for food use.

You can read more about Lisa Stevens on her profile and on the “featured seller” page @ Etsy.

She also has a Flickr.

Heather Knight ceramics are sculptures. The way she experiments with texture is amazing and I especially love her botanical tiles. (She has several ones : turf, noni, magnolia, durian, lichen…)

Blythe Shearling Amelia Earhart Hat & Vest by bonspielcreation @ Etsy.

This is just so beautiful ! I have already posted one of her creations in my article “Funny Hats & Bonnets” but this is getting undoubtedly better. Only the vest is sold there but more - including hats - is to come near March 10. Apparently there is already quite a demand for them so you can write bonspielcreation to make a reservation. [edit 07 March : the previous listing has been removed, I now give you a link for a set including Hat + Vest.]

And since I noticed there were quite a few other gorgeous purple articles for Blythe, here is a small selection :

I love Sea Stars. They may well be my favorite shape of all and I found those gorgeous red ones on DaWanda in fleecefrau’s shop. Check out the price, just out of curiosity…
