Etsy Finds Friday - Teapots!

It's Etsy Finds Friday and today I thought I would do my Friday Feature a little differently... I am a coffee drinker.  I love coffee and once I wake up each morning I can't wait to have my first cup of the day!  I don't drink coffee much past noon though.  I also drink tea now and then, nice on a cold winter afternoon or evening.  Even though I don't drink tea as often as I do coffee, I love teapots!  I was browsing Etsy the other day and came across some fun, nature inspired teapots and thought I would share a few with you for Etsy Finds Friday.  Click on the images to see more about each piece and don't forget to visit each of these great shops to see more of their wonderful handmade creations.  Enjoy!

Etsy Finds Friday - Griffinwyse

It's *♥*Etsy Finds Friday*♥*

Today I am featuring the

Awesome Elf Sculptures

Created by:

Kimberly Yavuz

of Griffinwyse

I love the awesome artwork by Kimberly Yavuz!  

Each of her sculptures is incredible, unique and full of personality! 

In the Artist's Own Words:

Like most artists, I have been making things as long as I can remember. Over the years I have been passionate about designing, drawing, painting and sculpting. I have done all of these in many forms; fashion and bridal design, fashion illustration, as a make-up artist, bronze sculptor, ceramist, wife and mother. I loved it all and it didn't matter if I was "sculpting" a bridal gown or "painting" a face, the thing I loved most about the work was how happy creating these things made others. For me nothing could be more rewarding than loving what you do, enjoying the process, and then getting to see people react and smile at your creation. My daughters are my primary inspiration for creating my elves. They have kept my imagination alive and keep new stories and adventures just around the corner every day. The elves have fused my love of books and stories, historical fashion, painting, make-up artistry and creating something from nothing. I love what I do and I hope they put a smile on your face, too! 

My elves have been featured in Art Doll Quarterly and Doll Collector magazines and I consider it an honor to have my work displayed among so many talented artists.

A Challenge Piece... A Little Bear in a Big Easter Bonnet

Soon it will be spring, flowers will be blooming and color will fill the landscape!!  I can't wait, I love spring and am tired of the drab look of winter!  We didn't get as much snow as usual, so it's mostly looked gray and dreary here this winter.  Although, as I write this, the sun is out and that is very NICE!  The sun will make it feel warmer, and that's good because it's only 11 degrees right now.  I am really ready for the warmer temperatures.  

.¸.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨)

(¸.•´ (¸.•` ♥  This month our PCETeam challenge is something for spring or Easter and I created this little Bear relaxing in the grass wearing her beautiful Easter Bonnet.  There is a basket of Easter Eggs beside her and a little ladybug has come to visit.  Pretty flowers decorate her bonnet which is tied to one side with a great big yellow bow.  There are purple and yellow flowers in the grass beside her, as she happily enjoys a pretty spring day.  She's wearing pink and has her feet up, in a relaxing pose, with her little white ruffles showing.  I used mica powders to highlight and to add color and sparkle.  She is on a base that is approximately 2 1/2" round she's about 2" high.  Below are more pictures, and you can click HERE to see the listing in my Etsy Shop.
