Edible Panties - Buy or Supply

So I know Valentine's Day was last week and these panties would've been perfect, but why not celebrate every day as if it's Valentine's Day with these edible panties. This was an easy one as far as supplies go, not much you need at all; I'm sure you can substitute the chopsticks for knitting needles. There might be one small problem for me though and that is I might eat all the licorice before one stitch is even cast, but you may have better luck. If so I found this great how-t0 for these panties, if you'd rather buy them and you're in a hurry to get the party started there's a site where you can buy these already made. Have fun.

Painted Feathers

Coraline was correct, I'm going to have to make those a bit harder :). Now on to today's feature. I came across these painted feathers and wanted to share them. I can't imagine how these beautiful paintings are done on feathers, (can use say patience) but take a look at these three amazing artists. I first fell upon Barb Curtiss at her site Featherpainter where she had links to two other great artists. Take a look below at these three artists and their beautiful work. If you're interested in giving it a try yourself, Barb also offers a how-to booklet so you can learn how to paint these beauties if you're interested in giving it a try.

Movie Trivia - Guess The Movie

Just another fun way to introduce some of the wonderful artists on Etsy. It's guess that movie time, now let's have a little bit of fun. Can you guess this recent hit movie that's in theaters now? The clues are in the titles or the pieces themselves and maybe a few more under my favorites at the right. If you want to guess, leave a comment. On Friday I will post the answer in the comments section so if you did take a guess you can see if you were right.

Amazing Enchanted Dolls

Let me first start out by saying, wow and secondly, wow. Are you into dolls? Whether you are or not I'm pretty sure you will absolutely love these handmade porcelain dolls, they are something to see. I came across these Enchanted Dolls by the artist Marina Bychkova yesterday and was totally blown away. I actually spent a portion of my day at her site looking through all of her handmade dolls and was truly amazed not only at the dolls and all of their detailed amazement, but at the dresses and accessories in all their beaded splendor.

If you have some time -- and seriously if you have some time because it's hard not to look at every piece of this art, check out Enchanted Dolls, it's jaw dropping. My favorite has to be Mermaid Song in all her tattooed glory!
