Yesterday was all about Wearable Artwork and today I'm featuring an innovative artist who's artwork you hang on your walls or can get as postcards and mail out to your friends and loved ones.
The Golden Section by YuliyaArt on Etsy contains some of the most original pieces of artwork that I think I've ever seen online or off. It's eclectic, unique, inspiring and absolutely extraordinary!
Yuliya was born and raised in Kiev, the capital of the Ukraine, and she now lives and works in Toronto, Canada
She has two branches to her artwork called Linear Magic and Digital Art and just more recently has started to implement photography into her artwork as well with stunning results.
Linear Magic is a type of artwork created with acrylic paints, ink, golden and other precious metal leafing as well as other items such as Swarovski crystal inlay and paper.
There is an inherent uniqueness of this drawing style because the artist is not using either pencil or a sketch to create an end result, but instead takes paper and ink pen and then starts from a simple dot on the page, then a line and moves on from there so that the artistic piece starts to develop all on its own.
Digital Art, on the other hand, is a part of Yuliya's art where she uses a computer to create, combining different pieces of existence in new ways to come up with something truly unique. She will take items such as eyes, skin, limbs, plants, animals and her imagination and blend them together into beautiful artwork created upon a digital canvas.
No matter which style you prefer, you're sure to be amazed by what you find in her shop so be sure to click on the link below or the picture above in order to take a look around!

I love art but I'm really, really picky when it comes to abstract art. It's not that I don't like the style, it's more like I think that some people can get a little carried away with the concept.
That said? I found an abstract artist the other day that I just have to share with you because the moment I stepped into their shop, I had my breath literally stolen away with the beauty within.
The artist is Frances Seward.
She is an emerging artist from the U.K. and currently living in New Mexico that specializes in abstract, contemporary landscape photography paintings that are truly remarkable.
As with most art, it's nearly always far more impressive in person than in print an I just can't imagine how entrancing and hypnotizing Seward's work must be in person because the pieces in her shop really catch the eye even over the computer screen.
There are copious amounts of information on Frances Seward and her artwork both in her shop profile as well as on her personal website, and I'm not going to reprint any of it here.
Instead, I'm going to encourage each and every reader to go and visit her gallery on Etsy and see these beautiful, breathtaking works for yourselves. They are truly inspiring, absolutely emotive and, in my opinion, they are the true definition of what abstract art should aspire to be.
So stop by, take a look around and be sure to click on her Profile so you can find out a bit more about not just the beautiful pieces Frances Seward has to offer, but about the artist herself as well.

Yep. I love color. And it was no more evident than when I first ran across today's feature artist. Because other than the fact that I also love trees? It was the vibrancy and color in today's shop that first caught my attention and kept it captive.
Today's feature is about the HJM Art Gallery on Etsy, which is filled with a beautiful collection of wonderful, colorful artwork pieces that are sure to make you smile just as they did me. Especially if you, too, are a fan of color and the grace of nature, trees and swirls.
There's something intriguing about organized chaos, and that's what I came away with from the pieces of artwork in this shop.
The artist, Helen Janow Miqueo, is a relentless perfectionist and romantic that specializes in beautiful, affordable original modern acrylic paintings and Giclee art prints... and that's what's offers in her shop! She even offers the option of commissioning custom pieces that can be made to fit just what you want and need to brighten up your own space or give as a gift for someone else.
Her artwork is truly unique, as is her method for creating that art which you can explore on her shop's artist profile! Helen is a truly inspiring artist who's both creative and passionate about her work, and it shows in every piece she has on display.

Today we're celebrating color because today is a "make new things" day in this house! And I can't think of anyone more fitting and perfect to celebrate color with than Cozy Little Cave on Etsy.
This shop is filled to the brim with beautiful, vivid colors and stylish pieces of artwork that are sure to draw the eye and make you smile.
The artist behind all of these wonderful, colorful paintings is Tess Carter. She loves bold color, dynamic design, and a touch of playfulness and it shows in every piece in her shop!
She offers both original paintings and prints as well as encourages people to contact her for custom pieces. (I love artists willing to go custom, it just adds an extra special personal touch.)
Tess started painting to make her own "cave" a little more cozy. Now she hopes to bring warmth and coziness to yours too! I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoy browsing through this shop. It's so fresh and bright and just about perfect. If you love color, you're sure to love it too, so take a look!

I can't remember where I first found this wonderful artist but I have to tell you, I've gone back to their shop over and over again since my first click in.
Why? Because this shop defines "adorable", in fact you could put the items sold there right smack dab in the dictionary to represent the word.
It's well known I have a great appreciation for knitters. I just can't help it. But this woman's work brings knitting to a whole new level with her cute little dolls and critters and I just want to own every single one of them.
Each little art doll is made of a combination of wool, acrylic, recycled acrylic, and cotton yarns, and, they are lovingly crocheted in a smoke and pet free environment.
If you're a fan of knitters, crafters, dolls or just love all things cute and adorable, you definitely need to check out Moomeez's Boutique in Etsy. You won't be disappointed!

Although the leaf pictured in this post is what caught my eye and drew me in when I stumbled upon today's shop (it's my own personal I WANT, I WANT! item), it was the truly unique items I saw in the gallery combined with the unusual list of sections in this shop that kept me there long over my usual bounce ratio for a shop... and kept me coming back to look again too!
This guy doesn't just make jewelry, you see. He's selling modern metal jewelry, art, furniture, clocks, jewelry displays and much more.
I know most everyone on Etsy has unique items to sell, that goes without saying. And here on this blog I love highlighting those who I think escalate into the uber-unique categories But this man? This man is not just in an uber-unique category, he's created his own stratosphere all it's own.
Who is this unique mastermind? Every item is handmade and designed by a self taught metal artist; Timothy Adam.
Not only does he have some of the most unique pieces in his shop that I've ever seen? He also has a website that provides an amazing resource for Etsian sellers (and handmade sellers everywhere). Handmadeology.com
So take a minute to stop by Timothy Adam's shop and take a look around! I venture that you won't be disappointed. And pop on over to his Handmadeology site as well if you're an online seller or considering becoming one. The advice there is excellent and won't steer you wrong!

I'm very picky about my jewelry, especially the chunkier items in my collection. If it's not delicate with a definite shimmer to it, chances are I'm not going to wear it.
At least, that's how I used to feel until I saw this shop in Etsy called VixenWare.
The curator of this shop is an artist who 
combines delicacy and substance into something truly unique and beautiful. In fact, there are so many drool~worthy items in her shop that the first time I wandered through there I stuck around for over and hour gawking.
The VixenWare shop? It's not just a jewelry store. It's not just an Etsy shop either. It's a gallery of amazing artwork. It's one of those spots I want to go back to again and again because there's just -so- much talent and beauty there to take in.
The artist that makes all of these beautiful and unique creations is Victoria Banner. She works mainly with fine silver, some sterling and 24 Karat Gold to create those beautiful pieces in her shop and offers the opportunity for her customers to make special requests for custom orders as well!
If you're looking for a unique and beautiful gift or even if you're just a jewelry, art or metal-worker fan, you definitely need to check out Victoria's shop so be sure to follow the link below and take a browse around!

Once upon a time, I thought that I had some pretty impressive talent with a camera. It turns out? It wasn't the camera or my skills at all, it was what and where I was photographing. Nothing has rubbed this in more than the experience of being a part of Etsy and trying to photograph my own products!
Like most things I wish I could do but just don't have a talent for, I have a huge (and growing with every click of my own camera's lens) appreciating for talented photographers.
Susan O'Connor at Pretty Petal Studio definitely falls into this category!
In her shop, she has it described just right. "Where modern and vintage imagery intertwine."
I've browsed -all- of her work and I can honestly say there's not a single photograph in the entire shop that I didn't like. The one to the left? That's just one of my favorites. They're all beautiful. They're all remarkable. And some of them are downright breathtaking!
Not only Does Susan have the kind of imagery that reaches in to touch your heart and soul, it's reasonably priced as well. I can't imagine a better gift for anyone who's into photography or beautiful, imaginative works of art.
Her shop is definitely worth more than a glance, so go take a look and spend some time wandering through what I consider to be one of the most beautiful galleries of photography out there on the web!YOU CAN CLICK ON THE PICTURE ABOVE TO VISIT PRETTYPETALSTUDIO'S ETSY SHOP OR, IF YOU PREFER, CLICK RIGHT HERE.
That's what I stumbled across in my browsing the other day. Beautiful paintings ranging from large murals your walls to tiny miniatures you wear!
Pastel Originals doesn't just sell hand painted pendants like I have pictured here, but you can really see the detail and craftsmanship in those in particular!
The pendant pictured here is only about an inch-and-a-half in size and yet the detail is clear, sharp and beautiful!
And she doesn't just paint on pendants either! In her shop you can find Mini-Art painted on thread spools and full size paintings ranging in size from 5x7 to 18x24 and even a few that are even larger!
Melanie Moyle runs Pastel Originals and she's written up a beautiful shop introductory as well (not to mention a remarkable banner!)
"When you purchase an item from my shop, your not just getting a one of a kind original painting.
Your getting your very own quiet peaceful place full of fresh air and the sounds of running water and birds in the trees. The memory of children laughing in the distance.
This is where the stress of your day can melt away. Here in the memories of a happy yesterday."
For anyone looking for a taste of that sweet bliss described above, whether for a gift to another, a spot on your wall at home or even to wear, this is one place you shouldn't miss out on browsing through.
