Artist of the Month - Karen Sweetland
Posted in: Art — Tangle @ 8:37 am
August’s artist of the Month is American artist Karen Sweetland. Karen’s gorgeous faeries, all created at a little drawing table in her kitchen, are painted using watercolours and coloured pencils. Amazingly, Karen has no formal training and has only been painting for the last four years or so. We’re quite enchanted by her creations and I hope you are too. Please stop by the Fae Nation gallery for a few more pictures, or visit Karen’s website and DeviantART gallery.

The Art of Agelio Batle
Posted in: Art, Home and Garden — Tangle @ 6:28 am
I love the idea of the artist’s tool reinvented as art, as seen in the amazing creations of San Francisco sculptor Agelio Batle. His graphite drawing tools take their forms from the natural world, and include antlers, twigs, flowers, leaves and shells. Each piece can be used to draw and write but thanks to the unique casting process they will not smudge onto your hands as you use them.

The Fairies
Posted in: Little Fairies — Tangle @ 6:20 am
The Fairies is an enchanting TV series produced and aired in Australia which follows the lives of Harmony and Rhapsody and all their friends in Fairyland. The catchy song and dance routines are enough to keep any pre-schooler enraptured, and the adults will appreciate the fantastic sets build by New Zealand’s WETA Workshop (Lord of the Rings). With two series to date, DVDs, live shows and a plethora of merchandise, this is definitely one to watch.
