Besteam Feature of the Week

       This week I have the honor of featuring a wonderful artist and photographer...

Naomi, (Nay for short), from Moonangelnay Photography.

At one glance you can see the passion Nay has for her work shines through

    

Nay captures nature and the animals she "shoots" at it's finest!

Nay says "I'm inspired by the human form, philosophy, nature, free will and color. A fine art artist at heart"

A Fine Artist is so True!

Wide range of sizes are available. From the littlest 1" squares, (The Pendant Studio is kind of partial to these), to the perfect sofa size...

  

The Moonangelnay only uses archival inks and papers so you can be assured that your beautiful prints will last for many of years to come.
Nay goes into great detail about this process on her Bio page on Etsy:
Moonangelnay Bio

 View her wonderful blog:
Moonangelnay's blogspot

and be sure you check out her shop on Etsy:
Moonangelnay.etsy.com

I would like to thank Nay for allowing me to sit back, coffee in hand, and just enjoying the view this morning.
What a beautiful way to start the day!

Sandy runs a small pet sitting/barn sitting service. And has also spent years working with show horses
This must be her inspiration for her adorable little animal soaps.

Sandy's soaps are made in small batches and cured for 4-6 weeks so you know you are getting the best of the best.
She says "Our soaps are made from scratch using the old-fashioned cold process method of combining various oils, butters, and lye in just the right amounts to create a luxurious soap that we are proud to offer to you"

Chasing The Nuns 

Stay at home mom, Sarah, says she crafts instead of going

Crazy!

She has been knitting and crocheting for over five years.

She says she has been sewing for longer than she can remember.

From looking at her work, you can tell she really enjoys making it fun as well as useful.

   

                     

 

Recently, she has teamed up with a friend, Charles Taylor, to bring silkscreen into her work.

I think she has definitely made a wonderful choice for her new creative outlet.

                                        



                                      

You can also find, Sarah and her variety of items that keep her sane on Etsy:

I didn't get a chance to ask Sarah where the name "Chasing the Nuns" comes from but I can bet it probably is a fun story. If you get the chance, ask her.
