I'm not gonna have a Black Friday or Cyber Monday sale, so if you buy something from my online store now, it'll cost the same as it would after Thanksgiving.

I found a big sign at the thrift shop with some live/laugh/love stuff on it, so I painted over that with my to-do list. Feel free to make it yours, too.

Alisa Lariushkina (Vilnius, Lithuania) :
Delicate Slivers of Air-Dry Clay Form Breezy, Idyllic Landscapes, 2022
Lithuanian artist Alisa Lariushkina uses Japanese air-dry clay to create beautiful artworks. Alisa’s artworks reflect upon nature’s sceneries like grasslands, clouds, and oceans, capturing one’s attention in a magical way. In her words about the process of this art works “The process is very meditative and requires perseverance, I mix all the shades of clay with my own hands, then I shape each piece of clay again with my hands and glue it to the canvas and to another piece of clay.” Russian artist Alisa Lariushkina molds countless coiled ribbons and small twists from air-dry clay to create idyllic scenes brimming with color and texture. Reminiscent of Post-Impressionist styles, her sculptural landscapes are imbued with movement, and she uses undulating forms to convey a river’s gleaming surface and a mix of tiny discs to imitate grasses and wildflowers. Lariushkina currently lives in Vilnius and works primarily on commission, and you can follow her latest pieces on Instagram. Pikes Peak
