Kala

I cannot put this in any other words, but isn't this image freak'n flipp'n awesome! Wow!

Featured etsy artist of the day is the talented Kala. http://kala.etsy.com

Karen is a mixed media artist from Cambridge in the UK and specializes in stationery, and fantastic work in collage, illustration and textiles. She has a little of everything.

I really love collage work. I think it shows true talent to take elements and bits of pieces for a collections of things and place them together to make a wonderful, harmonious piece of work.


I love the combination of traditional illustration and patterned pieces. This is a really great find to have in your place.

And lets not forget the wonderful stationery work.


I just LOVE (all caps means businesses) handmade sketchbooks and journals.

This accordion style book is made from artists quality 300gsm bockinford watercolour paper, covered with sumptuous flocked decorative paper and finished with a lilac coloured leather tie and indian glass beads to hold it all together.

I don't know what all of that means, but one thing is for sure, this item is beautifully put together and a high quality product.

Karen is extremely talented with her illustrations.

You can find more artwork, prints and cards, crafts and jewelery can be found in her new shop opening soon http://upwiththelark.etsy.com/
