Sometimes an artisan comes to my attention that makes me weak in the knees before I have moved past even the first piece. The way of marketing means that we put our best foot forward, and generally if you are scouting through websites or even shops, then you only get to see the best few of many... but when you find an artisan who is fabulous on multiple fronts, that is when it gets
REALLY exciting! I think I have discovered my new favourite artist, and living in the Koots, that is saying an awful lot. I am surrounded by talented people and spoiled by the offerings of my small town. So it was a great pleasure to stumble upon
ShprixieLand this morning!

| Green or yellow... green or yellow... hmmm... |

| I am going to be needing some of these! |

| I'm pretty sure that's Pixie right there with her flower wand... |
Such gloriously varied and whimsical designs! I love all of it and will be fetching myself up the beginning of a collection as soon as is possible... They don't have an online shop yet, they are working on it though. If you are local they will be selling at
DogPatch,
Touchstones and
The Gallery 378.

| A Shprixie-Chicken |
The pair that make up Shprixieland Studios are nicknamed Shpriken and Pixie and it sounds like their lives as artists and rural homesteaders are intertwined in the same formula as their studio name. Days that begin with gathering eggs (from fabulous looking designer chickens... I'm serious, look at that plumage!) are interrupted by inspiration to hone their craft and the wares that are the result are most definitely inspired! A flurry of facebook messaging confirms for me that Pixie is indeed fabulous beyond most and as proof, she has a parrot! You know what they say about a girl with a parrot :)

| Want |
The minute they have a website you can purchase on, I will post. If you simply must contact them right away though (as I did) you can find them on their
facebook page or
here.More from this brilliant pair as soon as I can find my way to ShprixieLand proper! And so my quest ensues...

I know... she may be coming home with me... I will have to buy a pot that's big enough to smuggle a hen in... with a lid! LOL
