Hidden Treasures

Karen Casey Smith's work with mandalas started in 1995. She started with colored pencils but now primarily uses flower photography to create the most extraordinary pieces of art. Her interest in mandalas combine two of her great interests, that of creating art and healing. She says, "it is always an amazing experience, and a delightful surprise to see the patterns that emerge while making the flower mandalas. Each mandala has its own vibrational frequency. They bring in healing energy where they are displayed."

I hope you enjoy Karen's unique talent as much as I have. Visit her shop at Etsy or 1000 Markets to see all of her mandalas as well as a variety of other outstanding photography.

Friday Favorites - I'm Seeing Red!

This week I would like to shine the spot light on a wonderful group of artisans at Peace and Love on 1000 Markets.

Peace & Love's market profile states that their goal in the new millennium is to capture the essence of the 60's and 70's, when handmade products were fashioned from a culture of free spirit thinking. The Peace and Love market is a trip down memory lane but is also the evolution of this spirit into new twists on old ideas.

Here are a few of my favorite discoveries in this exciting market. Be sure to visit each shop by clicking on the item name or shop name. Enjoy!
