Nursery Prints

For the past few weeks, I have been busy working on my Paper Art. All my creations are hand cut, no fancy cutting machines for this gal.  I love using decorative papers and embossing some of them to give my images a special look.  Now,  these six prints are ready to make their debut in my Whimsy Kreations Shop. 

I am pleased to announce that I have decided to go International with my my Shop. Stop by for a visit, you just might find the print you've been looking for.

Incredible Hand Art by Guido Daniele Featuring His Handimals.

If you haven't seen Guido Daniele's Handimals, you are in for a treat.  

Guido Daniele is an award-winning artist from Soverato, Italy. Born in 1950, Daniele lives and works in Milan. Over his 40+ year career, Guido has done both commercial/advertising work as well as group and solo exhibitions around the world.

In 1990 he began to explore and experiment with body and hand painting. By having his models contort their body into specific positions, he could use his painting skills to create incredibly realistic portraits and scenes onto a living canvas. The inclusion of the human body added a new element to his work and Guido would continue to explore this new direction.

In 2000 he created his world-renowned ‘Handimals‘ series (advertising | art) that saw him paint highly detailed and realistic animals onto hands in various positions. Through manipulation and creativity, Guido masterfully takes the same starting ‘canvas’ and is able to transform it into seemingly any animal he desires. The outcomes are truly amazing.
