Maia Waye art

I came across this artist on etsy and am in love with her gourds. They are unfortunately out of my price range, but her prints are not and they are impressive as well. Pyrographed gourds are decorated with burn marks and then colored. This process is time consuming and exact, requiring great skill. These are two of my favorites, Momma's of Africa above and Tutankhamun with Scarab. I would love to have these to drool over in my home.




Her prints are stunning as well. Rich and vibrant with an inner harmony. Below are Triangle Sun and Water and Planet Shared

Paper art

I've also become enamored with paper art. It can be incredibly detailed and complex. The patience and skill that you would need to complete something like this piece by artist Helen Musselwhite leaves me a bit in awe.
