Etsy Featured Artist - alternatebliss

Alternate Bliss is a shop full of whimsy, and memories, and stories in art. The silver pendants and earrings she makes are her own works of art. Some actually depict scenes from some of her painted art pieces. The last item shown below also has a matching pendant with the bird and butterfly carved into it. Very cool. I really enjoyed looking through her shop (as has been the case with many of the artists I've covered so far.
I was a little disappointed in not finding her name mentioned anywhere, except for a quick mention of a signature, "T.Burnett" on one of her items. Sorry "T".

"Augustina Lets Go" is one in the Whimsical Paintings series. Done in acrylic on a wooden plaque, the artist considers this "whimsical folk art". The artist also has stories about her paintings in her blog.

"Lioness Protector Fine Silver Necklace" is a beautiful example of the pendants she creates from fine silver, which is a more pure form than sterling.
"Blossoms and Butterfly Original Miniature Watercolor ACEO" is done on a 2 1/2" by 3 1/2" piece of illustration board, in keeping with the standard ACEO's standard small size.

To see more of her paintings, ACEO's and fine silver jewelry, go to her etsy shop.

She also has an etsy shop of illustrations, and some originals, here.
