Mae Chevrette on Etsy

So a few months ago I discovered this really awesome artist on etsy. Her work is absolutely amazing. Looking at her paintings makes me feel like I am on a magical beach somewhere where light houses adorn the space and sparkly shells sit atop the soft sand. Many of her prints and original artwork combine both collage and paint. She also uses beautiful and inspirational quotes on her art. I simply must buy some art work from her. Absolutely amazing!!

Working on watercolor earrings

I have been spending a lot of time making watercolor earrings. I absolutely love the fluidity  of watercolors. The colors run into each other and they create such beautiful seas of blues and greens and pinks. I have been focusing mostly on round and oval studs. The studs have just enough pizazz but without being too much.  Me personally, I love big weird earrings but I know that this may not be everyone's style so the studs are a good option. Below are some images of my work area.

Beautiful Stud Earrings

These are beautiful stud earrings I made the other day. They are made from layers of 140 lb watercolor paper and sealed with varnish. The varnish hardens the paper and protects both paper and watercolor. In addition I added lace on the stud. I think they are truly beautiful and unique.
