Curated Treasury: "You never bore me"

Our featured Etsy treasury, "You never bore me", is curated by Maaike van Nierop, of Assen, Netherlands. Maaike's Etsy shop, maaikevannierop, features her original drawings and postcards.

Maaike works mostly with ink and acrylic paint. All the paintings and postcards in maaikevannierop are originals.

"My paintings are little stories, told in paint, or maybe illustrations for untold tales.

What I love about them the most is that it's not just me telling the story, but the paint as well.

Some of the techniques I use are a little experimental, I press things in the paint, hold the paintigs upside down, mix my own pigments with acrylic binder.

This way, even though I usually have a plan when I start painting, I still don't know how the painting will be, the paint speaks too, so the end result is a surprise sometimes."

Please take the time to browse maaikevannierop on Etsy.

Curated Treasury: "l o o p"

Our featured Etsy Treasury today, "l o o p", is from Gavin, an Etsy member, and treasury curator, from Singapore. Gavin creates elegant, lush, artistic, and beautiful treasuries.

Gavin has been an Etsy member since 2010, and, even though he does not have a shop on Etsy, he is an avid treasury creator. Gavin often curates at least one treasury a day, sometimes more.

What is it that drew Gavin to creating treasuries on Etsy?

"I needed a creative outlet ... and etsy presented a ready platform."

Gavin states that he has, "no art background except rudimentary art lessons in my secondary school years." Gavin has a natural, artistic, sense. His eye for composition, and color, are superb. His masterful curations have garnered him a following of over 3,000 Etsy members.

"I'm a bit overwhelmed by the positive response to my work here."

We're so glad that Gavin continues to create, and share, his treasuries with all of us.

Please take the time to browse more of Gavin's treasuries on Etsy.
