Deliciously different

By Never teh Bride

I like things that surprise me, and this predilection applies not only to stuff for the home, but to art as well.

I can’t stop staring

What’s grand is that stuff for the home and art are sometimes overlapping categories. Sadly too much art for the home can be lumped into a mass of terrible Thomas Kinkaide-esque prints in plastic frames and too many people think of “real art” as something that hangs in museums and costs millions of dollars. All I can say is, “So not true.”

The awesome prints above were created by one Elsita and can be purchased in her Etsy store. What’s surprising about her prints is that they look like normal pretty pictures until you realize that a girl’s jacket is sprouting, it’s snowing noses, and ohmigosh those bunnies have been impaled with knitting needles! The best part? It’s art, it’s funky, and it’s affordable.

Once you’ve had a bit of a looksee at Elsita’s store, go check out Elsita’s blog to learn a bit about her life, her art, and her other projects because it’s cool to see into her world.

    Actually I think the little bunnies have been knitted off of the sheep’s back? Of course there are also those little bulby things and the sheep is looking strangeley serene for someone who is being used in this manner, so who knows.

    I like your perspective much better than my own, Nariya, so I’m going to adopt it. I suddenly like that print so much more!
