I would like to feature a wonderful artist today. Adrien Miller is a potter, a painter and a sculptor. He is a visual artist and creates pottery and paintings of the human form. His studio is based in Seattle and is a member of the Etsy Recyclers Guild Team, as am I. I randomly chose his sculpture in a Treasury before I actually began talking to him for this interview. I liked his art as soon as I first set eyes on it! His sculpture is the lovely torso in the top row of the Treasury below. Visit his Etsy shop, ADRIEN ART at : http://www.etsy.com/shop/AdrienArt?ref=pr_shop_more# His shop is filled with fantastic pottery, vessels bearing faces, torsos on tea pots and paintings of the human body. It is surely a magical place! I asked Adrien some questions about his Etsy experience. When and why did you start selling on Etsy? "I opened my Etsy shop on November 10th, 2009. I needed to do it. I make art with most of my time, and I was having an issue with not minding...
I have lost 62 lbs since my last post! This is my before photo. I feel so much better now. Hello friends, I know it has been ages since a post. Lots of crazy things have happened from surgery to Covid 19 quarantine!! We have been doing some projects in our time off. Our backyard had an old shed ,painted red, and rotting. The hubby (Len) decided to help me paint, replace wood walls, and insulate to make a "She Shed". Rotted wood on the shed walls. This project took a week or more. Len said we could have built a whole new shed !! We scraped and painted as best we could. Now it will be painted a safety blue. This is paint Len found for free. He also made new barn doors for me. Finished painting the outside. Now for the inside!! Dirt bin and mosaic top to the potters bench (made from broken china) Inside painted and partially panel wood veneer. We used what we had and ther...
Here is a question for you fellow bloggers: Should I start a new shop for my original art work and pottery? I have had some members of my team suggest that I might want to consider separating my art work from the vintage. ( RetroBabs Vintage & ReMix ) It might be better for me to have the fine art and vintage in two different areas. I delve into many things from watercolors to pottery to making jewelry. Here are some photos of my work. Please comment and let me know what you think. I make these wheel thrown stoneware bowls. I make these pottery leaves and then make jewelry out of them. I make watercolor paintings of landscapes and flowers. Some of these are framed and some are inside little vintage boxes. Some of these items do not fall under our REMIX category and are considered handmade original art. Please let me know what you think. I would appreciate any and all comments and thoughts.
