Bravo Destiny!

My friend and colleague, Destiny Carter, has just opened her Etsy shop . She does custom pet portraits and they are truly amazing. Below is one she did for Margot and me of Snickers and Pookie. You can see by the photo that she has captured them impeccably! Take a minute and visit the shop, it's purr-fect!

Seth's "Trilogy"




Trilogy


I have admired Seth Apter's art for awhile now and when I saw this piece on his blog recently I just knew that when I got to the bottom of the post it would say "SOLD". But... it didn't! Never have you seen someone access ETSY so quickly. When I got to the screen where it tells you that you must complete transaction to complete sale, I was thinking "OH NO! What if someone else is like, one key stroke ahead of me? What if I lose it now? What if ..." (I've been told by those I love that I have waaay too much imagination.

But none of these things happened - and the piece is mine. It came in the mail a couple of days ago and I love it. The layering is amazing and the colours, especially the touches of blue, just delicious. Thank you Seth - your piece has found its way to a happy home.
