Etsy Finds Friday - Reclaim2Fame

It's **Etsy Finds Friday**
Today I am featuring the
Reclaimed Artwork
 Created by:
Reclaim2Fame
About the Artist:
Will Wagenaar has been a professional artist since 1972. Starting in visual merchandizing management with a major Midwest retail chain, he learned at an early age to turn anything into something else. An interior design degree was next at Harrington Institute in Chicago.  1980 was the beginning of a successful mural painting business, creating wonderful walls for prestigious residences and major corporations in cities across the country.  In 1993 he opened a very experimental storefront on Miami Beach where he twisted all manner of found materials into new usable objects and fine art. A couple of years later the concept expanded to The Miami Design District. That larger workshop and gallery showcased over a dozen artist's work in reclamation art. Furnishings of all types, home accessories and fine art were displayed. Everything in the gallery was made of at least 80% recycled materials.  Those two stores are long gone but not the passion for reclamation art. Now living on the Gulf Coast of Florida, he feels like he might just be getting started. Etsy has opened a new world of possibilities for this well seasoned artist.

A Cake Topper for a Nail Designer

I just completed a very fun rush order for a customer who also has purchased a Zebra Baby Shower Cake Topper from me before.  She wanted a birthday cake topper for her sister's birthday.  Her sister loves doing nails and she wanted a likeness of her leaning on a big bottle of green nail polish... This was fun to create and it turned out so cute!  Complete with hot pink stilettos and a zebra striped hot pink scarf, she looks so adorable leaning her elbow on the big bottle of nail polish.






This topper will be listed soon in my Etsy Shop, Trina's Clay Creations, as an example of a Cake Topper I can create for you!  Personalized Cake toppers add such special meaning to the celebrated person's big day and are wonderful lifetime keepsakes!

Etsy Finds Friday - Rachel Parker

It's **Etsy Finds Friday**
Today I am featuring the
Beautiful Watercolor Paintings
 Created by:
Rachel Parker of
Fine Art by Rachel Parker

Rachel's paintings are so beautiful and full of life, I love all of her work!
She is a self taught artist, so amazing! 
She definitely captures the soul of the animal in her paintings.
Enjoy! 

In the Artist's Own Words: 
I am Rachel Parker, a self taught artist. I come from a family of artists; my mother is a award-winning portraitist and my father is an award-winning photographer, so art must be in my genes! I've always loved to draw and paint, but never took myself seriously as an artist. Hmmmm, what could I sell on eBay that would be FUN? One night, I decided to put a little painting on eBay for $1 and see what happened. It got bid up to something like $30 and I was hooked; I didn't sleep at all that night, I was so excited. That was over ten years ago, and I still love sharing my online art studio with the world.  

German Shiloh Shepherd Dog Art Print of my watercolor painting
T i t l e : "Shiloh Shepherd Portrait"
M e d i u m : Print
D i m e n s i o n s: 10" x 8"

Rachel says:  "Since I was little I've always felt a connection to animals. I'm convinced that animals have a soul, and I try to capture that in my work. When you look into the eyes of an animal, you get a glimpse of their soul. Hopefully that glimpse will bring peace, and a sense of connection to the greater world, both human, animal, and spiritual, that is every where, every day, just waiting to be noticed. I hope my art serves as a reminder of these things, and celebrates the sanctity of such simple but profound truths."


 Black Cat Art Painting PRINT Watercolor Rachel Parker rachelsstudio Artist Artwork
T i t l e : "Sadie on Alert"
A r t i s t : Rachel Parker
M e d i u m : Print
D i m e n s i o n s: 8" x 10"
S p e c i f i c a t i o n s: Signed, Limited Edition

Rachel says:  "I don't know what it is about painting cats, but I can't get enough! This painting is of Sadie, my own personal cat. She is very much the diva, and knows when the camera is on. She positions herself in front of it and loves her picture taken. She is very proud to be featured in so many of my paintings. If I'm painting, she gets jealous of the attention I'm paying to the watercolor, and tries to get in front of me, as demonstrated in this video...  https://vimeo.com/45790152 "


Zebra Art Safari Africa Wildlife Nature Art Print
T i t l e : "Zebra x 2"
M e d i u m : Print
D i m e n s i o n s: 10" x 13"
Rachel says: "This is a print of my painting of two zebras. Thank you so much to Giovanni at www.flickr.com/photos/giovannimari/ for his wonderful picture, which he took in South Africa (lucky dog). I also have prints and giclees available of this painting."

A Jester Business Card Holder

Quite some time ago I created a little Jester, you can find him in my Etsy Shop!
Here's a picture of him: 


.¸.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨)
(¸.•´ (¸.•` ♥  Recently a customer saw my Jester in my Etsy Shop and asked if I could make a Jester HAT into a business card holder, or maybe somehow incorporate my little Jester.  After some discussion back and forth I suggested making the Jester holding a frame to lean the business cards on, with his little Jester shoes holding them in place.  She loved the idea and this is what I created for her:  



.¸.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨)
(¸.•´ (¸.•` ♥  Instead of a frame, I decided on a kind of scroll decorated with the same colors as the Jester's outfit.  I highlighted the black scroll with gold mica powder.  This was such fun to create and it really got my imagination going!  I can see so many of my clay creations becoming business card holders, and I have many new ideas too.  Little by little they will all be making their debut here on my blog and in my Etsy Shop!  In the meantime, look for this Little Jester Business Card Holder to soon be listed in my Etsy Shop.  If you're interested in something other than a Jester for a business card holder, please contact me.  I'd love to work with you to create something really special to hold your business cards!  And what a GREAT gift a personalized Business Card Holder would be!!







 .¸.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨)
(¸.•´ (¸.•` ♥  I would love to hear your ideas!  What little figures would you like to see me create into business card holders?  Click HERE to see my Jester Business Card Holder in my Etsy Shop.
