Purchase Authentic Asian Elephant Trunk Painting $270

Purchase Authentic Asian Elephant Trunk Painting $270

May 14, 2013 by Melinda

cc-buy

Purchase authentic Asian Elephant trunk painting. Hands down one of a kind. Debi the elephant painted this you for! Debi shares a glimpse of an elephant’s dream in vivid color, titled “Nightmare”. Asian elephants are in danger. By making paintings widely accessible to the general public helps to increase awareness, encourage conservation and raise funds to assist throughout Asia. Debi holds the paintbrush carefully, by the tip of her trunk – which is also the elephants delicate nose area. Slight smudging, and an occasional water droplet here and there are to be expected. I like to consider that these imperfections add to the conversation value of each piece. Debi is a young female elephant artist from Sumatra who took up painting in February of 2010, and is developing her own style. An artisan story card will be included with your purchase. Auctions have been held at Sotheby’s and Christie’s. Acrylic on Canson paper.  30″ W x 21.75″ H

Boreal Forest Flora And Fauna Color Block Print Art $60

Boreal Forest Flora And Fauna Color Block Print Art $60

May 2, 2013 by Melinda

cc-buy

Boreal Forest flora and fauna color block print. In order to bring harmony into a space, there has to be the right about of tension, color and contrast. Color block printing does that. Flora and fauna are soothing, and this block print brings the hipness factor forward. For real. The text at the bottom reveals facts about the animals & plants found in the Boreal Forest “Did you know that Violets contains the chemical ionine and the power to short-circuit our sense of smell? The skin of the electric blue salamander is black with electric blue flecks, the shamrock shaped leaves of the common wood sorrel tuck themselves into a downward position at night, and the iconic jack pine is serotinous, meaning fire is necessary to open the cones and release the seeds”. I heart the outdoors. Limited edition print. Stonehenge paper. 20″H, 28″W

Macel Wanders Vase – Porcelain Sea Sponge $218 FREE US SHIPPING

March 22, 2013 by Melinda

How does an artist create a sea sponge vase that adheres to its own form? Each sponge is uniquely different as are these vases. By dipping them is fluid porcelain clay, then when kiln fired the sponge burns away of course. Rather chic and alluring, Marcel Wanders is an artist worth collecting. His work is included in such significant museum collections as MoMA New York, The Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam and the V&A Museum, London. 2.5″H x 3.9″D. This Vase is definately worthy of your art collection. Or is it the other way around……

For all the new followers + friends around here I For all the new followers + friends around here I just want to welcome you all, and say Hi, and let you know a little about me 🙋🏻‍♀️

✨ I am born and raised in the former British Hong Kong. Honestly living the expat life was the most valuable time of my life.

✨ I have been blessed by the Dalai Lama - Completely by accident. I just happened to be in his home down. I was in the right place at the right time!

✨ I travel a lot. Over 100,000 air miles a year, and I wouldn’t change it. (Except for Covid, dang it)

✨ I believe life is like a book. and everyday is a page, and the next day it starts again. You will never get that page back again. So embody that day, use that day and grab it by the horns.

✨ I have trekked the Himalayas, and that was a spiritual life changer.

✨ Being 5’3” I get under estimated a lot, and I have learned to use that to my advantage. It’s now a strength maybe?

✨ I love love, and I LOVE people. I belief in the goodness of the world, but also believe that some people will never change, and there is nothing you can do about it. Sad. But it’s truth.

✨ Intelligence is power. And intelligence is not what you know, it’s your DESIRE to know. 

✨ I will always be the first to laugh at myself, and I don’t take myself so seriously. Life is short. Have fun! Send me a DM. I always answer xx

Always enamored and empowered by strong quotes, I learn, live, and experience through my eyes.

I never talk about it much on the IG feed, but 13 months ago I became a re-seller to fund my vegan dry body scrub.

These stunning ponyhair #manoloblahnik pumps had me at hello. Purchased from @therealreal I was then just a buyer. But now I am a jack of all trades seller. I search with my eyes, feel with my eyes, and learn with my eyes.

If you want to learn more about re-selling, send me a DM, ask any questions here in the post, and join #ClubHouse - the newest IT platform in social media. I have learnt so much, grown so much, and continue to do so. I’m just a bitch like that 🙋🏻‍♀️ JK!!
