Friday Favorites ~ Episode 2 ~ August 5~

Although it is only Thursday, I am posting my Second Episode of Friday Favorites! A selection of talented female artists from Facebook who freely share their work, insights and humor. Their work inspires me, and makes me wish I could go on a shopping-spree!


Flor Larios ~ Flor Larios Art Etsy Shop
From her Shop: "I love to paint and create decorative art pieces for the home and for you to wear." Her beautiful artwork is also available on jewelry, art boxes, prints.
Personally I love the Madonna and Child theme to begin with, and Flor's are awesome. If I could choose only one of her prints it would definitely be 'The Winter Fairy' or maybe 'In Heaven with My Cat'. Visit her Shop and see what you think!

Sue Zupnyk ~ Antique Basket Lady Etsy Shop
From her Etsy Shop: "Handmade handbags, totes, diaper bags, children's bags and accessories."
I love the quality and the cuteness of her products. Sue uses lovely fabrics featuring birds, polka dots and more, all with beautiful colors! She offers so many functional styles: mini wallet, wristlet, tote bag, purse, etc; marvelous to use or to give as gifts! My favorite is the 'Everyday Handbag..Retro Circles in Black.' Visit her shop soon!

Beth Sjolund ~ Mia Bella Collection ArtFire Studio
Her ArtFire Studio has "over 900 listings of handmade necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and more."

Beth also has an additional ArtFire Studio sellng jewelry beads and supplies. Get yourself another cup of java, this studio has 78-pages to enjoy!

Cindy Jerrell ~ Fine Artist
Where to start?! Pet Portraits, available through one of her Etsy Shops: "a Very Fancy Portrait of your Darling in Formal Victorian Wardrobe in beautiful sepia tones."
Cindy's work includes awesome 'Puppet Boxes' as seen on her website. Cindy has shared her work in progress for her current puppet project on Facebook, awesome!
And, Cindy's amazing Prints are available in her other Etsy Shop. Her description of her prints: "Fragility, secrets, compassion, psychological landscape, longing, and of course color - these are some recurring themes." You will thoroughly enjoy visiting each of her sites!
Impossible to select only one favorite, but I really love her print 'Kuan Yins Song'.
