Lineongrata’s Whispering Trees print makes me want to curl up in a big overstuffed chair and just stare at that piece. How incredibly lovely.

Very nice stuff. It´s so difficult to chose one of them. My favourite artists: Linea non grata, Cori Dantini, Kate Endle, Your secret admiral, Violeta Gau, Be happy now, Multiple personality. Wonderful works, very nice and funny!
I adore ZuZuk’s prints. And the bear hug is a favourite. But it’s all a great selection! Good luck with the site!
I love the night owls print from Lino creative (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15044783)
and the mini toast plush from wonderthunder (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15911234).

Thank you – your mission is complete. i now have even more websites to drool over and things to covet!
As i try to rediscover the “crafty bone” in my body (so talented when i was 5, now so…..) these websites both inspire and scare me at the breadth of talent. i especially LOVE LOVE LOVE the Zuk zuk prints, Mrs Elliots books, the bike prints from sew simple, the beautiful things on the lineanongrata site, the kate endle treats.
so thanks for opening my eyes further to more amazingly talented souls
i heart amy cartwright, duda daze,i.itch illustrations,mary kilvert,lino creative,multiple personality, sarah gardner, wonder thunder
btw, do they realize that their work really really inspiring……
I absolutely adore all of the prints at From Tiki With Love—it is hard to choose a favourite! I think it would come down to ‘Red Makes Me Happy’ and ‘Nutty Hatch’.
Oh Bara’s intaglio print ‘But I had made a life out of paper’ is gorgeous. So subtle and beautiful!
Mary Kilvert’s illustrations are lovely. I adore the detail that is in Peacock—Pocket Mirror. Stunning!
Corid’s work is gorgeous! I really like ‘Edna May Butler had bandy legs AND fancy hair AN ARCHIVAL PRINT’…a lovely piece of work.
It doesn’t look like people are listing something from each site, so I’m just going to mention a few things I especially like:
Candace Jean’s “I want to be where you are” card (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15994693).
Sam Bradd’s watercolour of houses in St. John’s Newfoundland, miniature books, and Eat Local tea towels.
Julia of Lineanongrata’s Just 20 little bird flats (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=14829784) (in blue or green).
lino creative’s Waterflowers Print is just wonderful but then corid’s humdinger print is great too!
ZukZuk is my faaaaavorite! I badly want to win so I can decorate my future house with all of these goodies! 🙂

3 artists stand out to me. D.U.R.A’s girls on cardboard and her illustrations rock my world! irena sophia’s drawings have a nice nostalgic feel to them and Theopany’s little poppy paintings are sweet.
Delicious ills. 🙂
Lica’s (Theophany shop I think) “The beginning of Wisdom”; Mary Kilvert’s “Ducklings”; the red cardinal print – From Tiki with love; spoonergregory wood cuts; and Amy Cartwright’s illustrations – especially the dog “get well soon” card.
I can’t imagine being anything but thrilled with any of these giveaways. I am just so awestruck by the creativity of this group! Surprise me.
