Curated Treasury: "Use Your Imagination"

Our featured Etsy treasury for today is curated by Stef Bauer, from the Etsy shop oneeyedgirls, in Los Angeles, CA.

Through oneeyedgirls, Stef Bauer shares with us her original abstract paintings and drawings, and prints from originals. Stef has also begun to do mixed media pieces with watercolor and ink. The artwork in oneeyedgirls is, at once, modern, decorative, emotive and colorful.

"I love to create paintings and drawings, a bit like a visual journal. I am fascinated by colors and patterns coming up with new ones in my spare time; and most inspired by the viewers emotional response to these ... I am driven by the small silent moments where one reveals oneself.

My pieces come from the multi-cultural experience LA provides, and the waves that arise of varied emotions from living in this city."

When you visit oneeyedgirls, you will also come across some of the eponymous "characters" that Stef has created. A few of the One Eyed Girls^® you might chance upon are Lina Listening to the Trees, Sia Strolling in the Almost Fall, or Lilly Walking with The Sun.

"The idea for the One Eyed Girls came one day in June, 2008, when I wished to express emotions from the intuitive or third eye; and began simply and gradually expressing all different emotions in all different types of the feminine; balancing them with only one eye became a challenging game and before long, one became many. Music is my muse, and my images, and mood created, often springs from the songs I'm listening to."

In addition to creating her unique works of art, and curating oneeyedgirls, Stef is also a Residential Paint Color Consultant/Designer. You can find her professional profile at www.stefbauer.com.

Curated Treasury: "Welcome, Monday"

Our featured Etsy treasury for today is curated by Pat, from the Etsy shop LakesideCottage, located in the Roanoke, VA, area.

Pat has filled LakesideCottage with a curated collection of vintage and antique items that defies a single label.

How does Pat describe her collection at LakesideCottage?

"Rustic. Refined. Shabby. Chic. Industrial, Mechanical. Mid-century. Mod. Fine China. Pottery. Primitive. Antique. Vintage."

Pat came to Etsy after a career as a senior executive of a nonprofit that honors children wounded by broken homes, absent parents, homelessness, ignorance, poverty, violence, crime, and abuse.

Much like in Pat's career, serving to help those who might otherwise be forgotten, LakesideCottage is a haven for items from our past that might be lost or forgotten.

"I have filled my homes with antiques and vintage items for years and nothing gives me more pleasure than to rescue an item and bring it back to life. What some might consider junk, I consider part of our history. What some consider old, I consider a jewel of craftsmanship, difficult to find in a disposable society. Antiques and vintage items have a history. Listen. Learn. Honor. Respect. Pass it on."

When you enter Pat's LakesideCottage, you will find an amazing collection of art, music, photos and books, as well as home decor and collectibles, and even industrial, auto and tools.

Here is just a small sampling of the items you will find when you visit LakesideCottage.
