Just for prints!I finally decided to change things up a bit. Since I have my jewelry line and my digital prints in one store I decided to break them out! I will now have a store just for my digital prints. The new store is called Urban Nostalgia Prints on Etsy.<br />

I like to make these assemblages usually before bedtime. It is my way of relaxing, and creating is just what I do. There will be quite a few new prints added in the coming weeks.<br />

I thought I would give you a few examples of what I have been creating. I'd love to know what you think! Comments encouraged!<br />

This one to me is striking because it incorporates old and new. The woman is from the 1900's and the background has a very hip modern feel to it. Plus I really love lots of bold color.<br />

I absolutely love to do fantasy work. I am enamoured with things that sparkle. This assemblage came together very quickly once I found the right Victorian woman in a sitting position. I love the green tones and just the magic that the image seems to portray.<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://www.etsy.com/shop/lisasurbannostalgia</div>Lisa R Clarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17692581864143651481noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8385035602589780152.post-57816859279531427652011-01-17T23:08:00.002-06:002011-01-17T23:19:14.082-06:00Ringing In The New YearI know it's cliche', but I have been making new rings!

She has been a great inspiration to me and a wonderful friend. Although we have never met in person, I think she's great! Always inspiring, and always encouraging me to keep blogging. When I have felt that no one was reading me, there was always a comment from her. So what are you waiting for? Check out her <a href="http://antrisdale.wordpress.com/?blogsub=confirming#subscribe-blog"><span style="color: cyan;">blog</span></a>, or better yet become a follower and read some of her writings! I tip my hat to Amanda Nicole and say a heartfelt THANK YOU!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">One of the things I must do to accept this award is share 7 things about me. So here goes....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1. I am an only child.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2. I come from a family of artists that go back to the 1800's. My mom has artwork from the 1800's from our family members. My mom too, is also an artist and I grew up watching my mom paint.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">3. I have no formal training in art. I am a self taught artist. LOL I am one of those people who just one day decide things like, I think I will become a jewelry designer.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">4. I LOVE to make soap and bath and body products! I am going to open another store soon for that!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">5. I HATE vegetables, nothing green for me! Lettuce tastes like grass to me and leaves behind "lettuce residue" People have given me food that has had lettuce on it and I can always tell!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

After a great week of 70 ish weather we are now back down into the 40's and it is a dark gray day with rainy weather that seems to be our mantra for the week. Let us not forget the holiday season seems to be right around the corner. I have been curled up around the heat of my CPU on my computer making some vintage prints with a winter theme, making me think snow is not so far off.<br />

I don't think I could have picked a better color for the sky, as it seems to be what I see out my bedroom window. I never know where things will go in my prints, or how they will turn out, and it is the journey that seems to intrigue me. I am inspired by the upcoming holiday and I think about how people spent their holidays long ago.<br />

In keeping with my vintage theme I am using real photographs of people from around the 1800's to the 1900's. I think it's fascinating to see people from this era. They all look so glamorous, and have such an innocence I find their photographs hard to resist.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="480" nx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJdpgz9hdI0I1FtSYco3LWvjpfHjqWioY5BifQvdiw76Lg8xurD06l6pfv_Yt64by5IT6ze9QuQ-iBg-zBchG1L9WmojB2mJOd_fA6BFgyn7-k7vtU41drQ8YlDtjcg2vicbxbK-olD_I8/s640/women+in+green+copy.jpg" width="640" /></div> <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/60590569/lost-garden-8x10-fine-art-photo-print"><span style="color: yellow;">Lost Garden</span></a><br />
I think about these people who have long passed, and am pleased that I am able to give them new life in my art. Maybe someday people will think the same of my photographs and restore me for all to enjoy as art work.<br />

This also allows my creative side go full force. I enjoy adding random details like numbers, and borders. Making things look scratched and grungy, and adding old photos into new situations. Making a picture into a complete fantasy, and leaving the observer to wonder what's the real meaning? Art speaks to people on so many levels. <br />

</tbody></table> Everyone needs to take some time away from the grind. I did some camping last weekend with my friend Marilyn. We decided to go to Warren Dunes, Michigan. I have to say Michigan is truly a beautiful state, and I really enjoy spending time there. I thought I would share a few of my favorite photos.<br />

For those of you who don't know what a treasury is , let me explain. It's a delightful grouping of items by different Etsy sellers that are usually put together with a common theme. The author of the treasury does not add his or her own items. The principal is simple, do something nice for someone and they will do something nice for you! Here is a link for the treasuries I have made featuring different sellers from Etsy. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/search/lisasurbannostalgia"><span style="color: yellow;">Lisa's treasuries</span></a><br />

Kelly's shop features original prints taken along her photographic journey of her surroundings in Virginia and North Carolina. Really great work!

Since I am new at blogging this seems to be a way for me to stretch my creative writing wings. Amanda Nicole's blogging journey is about her quest to become a published author. She shares her trails and tribulations of trying to make it in the writing business, along with some excerpts from her book, The Zeidrich Chronicles that takes place in West Texas.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Now I am sure you are thinking what is a jewelry artist doing blogging on a writer's blog that takes place in West Texas? I asked the same question myself. So after much thought I finally had a story for her blog and I thought I would tie it all in with my jewelry. So in honor of guest blogging I decided to come up with a western jewelry collection.<br />

Wow in dog years that makes me 322 years old! Hmmm perhaps one should not think of themselves in dog years.<br />

Through out my many years, friends have described me with a few adjectives, unique, I am quite sure that one is code for weird, sparkling, bubbly, and funny. I think a pretty good all around description. I am blessed with a large group of friends and sometimes the oddest things inspire me to create.This saying came about in my group of friends, "It's all about Lisa"<br />
<br />
So yes, I have to admit I actually made myself one that says, "It's All About Lisa" But it's not just about me, it's about you too! And now you can let the world know "It's all about YOU!"<br />

Exciting things for me. Everyday seems to bring new success. I find that through social networks I am getting more subscribers and making new friends.
