Etsy Finds Friday - Trieste Prusso Design

It's *♥*Etsy Finds Friday*♥*

Today I am featuring the 

Vintage Inspired Folk Art

by: 

Trieste Prusso Design

In the Artist's own words:

I started making these pieces because I wanted to match the appeal of vintage with a new modern feel. I am constantly collecting antiques to match with my art. I love that each piece is totally unique and takes on a life of its own.

 

Snow Birds

A Flock of Three

This listing is for 3 unique snow birds that has been sculpted, carved, painted, and antiqued by me. They are mounted on a white antiqued block that is 2x2" and 3x3". Also I have updated their legs, they are now mounted on dark colored kiln dried wood. The birds themselves vary from 6" and 8" tall. 

 

 

 Blue Hat Snowman on Antique Toy Block

These snowmen have an incredible vintage feel, yet they are like nothing you have ever seen before.

 

 

Santa Vintage Inspired Folk Art

This piece is quietly reminiscent of Christmases of yesterday, but it also has a totally unique, colorful, creative look.  I sculpted this piece, carved it, painted it, antiqued it, and finished it with a fine layer of snow (glitter).  St. Nick is mounted on an antique toy block (2x2") and his arms are attached with antique piece of wire. Each St. Nick is about 12 inches tall.

Christmas Custom Orders...

I just finished creating two custom orders, and thought I'd post pictures to share before I mail them out.  The Snowman with the Ice Cream Cone is an ornament to hang.  I can make many of the creations that you see in my Etsy Shop into ornaments. I have a "Snowman With Ice Cream Cone" listed in my shop as a figurine. The buyer who purchased this one, wanted the snowman figurine for her granddaughter (who loves ice cream!) ~ but wanted to know if I could make it to hang on a tree.  It turned out adorable as an ornament.

The Santa is an order to go with a deer that I created.  The deer loves apples, and Santa always has a bag full of things that are much loved! :)  Here's a link, if you'd like to see the deer, and read about my inspiration to create it:

My New Studio and First Treasury... A Busy Weekend!

I have been working on getting my studio set up this weekend... I sure have a lot of 'stuff' here and there, in the basement and in the house!  It does accumulate, and for the longest time I haven't been able to unpack everything, so it feels great to get this done finally.  It will be so nice to have it all in one room and easily accessible!  Thought I would post a "before" picture - and hopefully I will be able to post an "after" picture (of the entire room) soon!  So far, I only have my work area set up.

I took a "time-out" from setting up my studio and I put together my very first treasury on Etsy.  I am a member of the Polymer Clay Enthusiasts Team (PCETeam) on Etsy,  and we have a "Weekend Treasury Challenge" going on this weekend.  I had never put together a treasury before, and had so much fun with this one.  I must say, it was very difficult to pick only 16 items!  So many wonderful creations by so many talented etsians!!!
