Pretty Girls, Watercolors and Other Illustrations

Formerly a professional dancer and choreographer for ten years, Christa Howard now creates beautiful pieces of art and illustration that are a reflection of her perceptions in inspiration, movement, line and, most importantly, a unique sense of style.

Her shop on Etsy, C Howard Designs, is filled with fresh, modern illustrations that are sweet and beautiful at the same time. Her shop caught my eye right away at first glance and made me smile as I browsed through her pieces.

She even has a piece on display in her shop that is very similar to one of my favorite artworks that used to hang on my wall many years (and many moves) ago. It made my heart glow the moment I saw it as the piece I'd once owned that was so similar has long since been lost to the winds of time and whims of moving vans gone by.

I'm especially fond of the style in the two pieces in this post, but she has many, many pieces sure to enchant you into a smile and stir inspiration for that special gift you've been searching for.

Christa Howard's works have been chosen for exhibitions in galleries and selected as "best in show" at Chapman University in Orange, California.

Her photographs have also been used on websites, been commissioned for businesses and been customized for weddings and special events.

She's incredibly talented and her work is absolutely lovely. Her shop is a pure joy so be sure to stop by and take a wander through the gallery of her work on Etsy!

Something Bunny this Way Comes - Illustrations and Art Prints

Okay, today we're wandering into the land of cute. And, when I mean cute? I mean super-duper-absolutely-totally-100% UBER-cute. The kind of cute that makes you smile instantly even as your heart melts.

Yep, I found a shop that sells stuff that cute.

Because today's shop is Something Bunny by Lea which is filled with cute, sweet and silly art prints. As you can tell from the shop's name, there are bunnies involved. But that's not the only cute factor she has going for her. There's big eyed pouting Bigfoot, smiling little girls and adorable bears, dinosaurs and more!

I fell for this shop the first time I saw it, and I'm positive that you will too. Even if you're not looking for an art print, you really should stop in and check out Something Bunny. They have plenty of other gift ideas and "I want" temptations to offer including bookmarks, book plates, ACEOs, card sets, notepads and more!
