Friday Etsy Meanderings

Good Morning, Good Morning!!

I'm in a very romantic, dreamy headspace today
~trying to combat the very real, mundane task of fruit canning~

Today's meanderings are very ornate, ...robust even
Perhaps that's the flavor I'm trying to preserve...
Oh yeah.
I just said that!!
I just couldn't choose ONE which of these to share...
aren't they all incredible AND handcrafted!!     come on. amazing...
Elephants Running Free $6
The Leaf Lady in Brown $6
Butterfly Trio $9
Tree of Life $8.5  all from thecharmingfrog



 ...see what I mean about ornate? aren't they fantastic?
I've always loved Arthur Rackham's work and you could say this whole collection is inspired by his work.

Thanks so much for including our Undine bag.

However, I ought to just say that it isn't a transfer - we don't use transfers because they aren't very durable and don't give a good, permanent result.

We use dye-sublimation (and will soon add reactive dye printing) to print each panel individually. It's totally fade-proof and can be washed or dry cleaned. The prints will actually stay pristine long after the bag, in years to come, is worn. We've had some people who have worn out a bag and then sewn the print into another bag!

Thanks again! Karen
