Monday Home Decor

Last week in Monday Home Decor we featured etcArts. This week it's all about paintings.

Andrada’s Art Studio
Andrada experiments with different mediums and her works, inspired by the nature, world mysteries and legends, suggest a duality between the abstract and figurative, between textures of mixed media and fine lines of drawing, between reality and fairy tale.

When she creates art she prefers to let her natural instinct and spontaneity guide her. For her is the material used in artwork that has the quality to express something and tell the story. The guidance in creating art is coming from canvas and medium that she uses. Most of her works have a relief and a thick texture that give dimension to the piece. She has a symbiotic relationship with her art.

SHE IS PREPARING HER NEXT EXHIBITION AND SHE NEEDS MORE STUDIO SPACE TO WORK ON HER NEW AND EXCITING ART INSTALLATION. AS A CONSEQUENCE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME SHE HAS A BIG SALE IN HER SHOP. IF YOU LIKE SOMETHING, LET HER KNOW SO SHE CAN RESERVE IT FOR YOU.

A Touch of Nature Bracelets

Today's article is about two of our most favorite bracelets. They both have something in common: a large brass stamping leaf, one just aged and the other one silver-plated and then aged. The beauty of this leaf is that you can curve it to fit any wrist and they are large enough to be noticeable anywhere you go. Take a look and let us know what you think.
