today, i wanted to share with you an artist (and her husband) that i've been meaning to feature for quite some time. allyson is one million kinds of awesome, as is her talented artist husband jeremy, and she's the kind of person you could sit and talk to all day without ever running out of things to say. aside from art on paper, she sews and brings her characters to life, and most impressive, makes her own paints and pigments from organic materials that she and jeremy have grown. renaissance woman, no?
*images from allyson's flickr photostream.
i'm lucky enough to have a copy of the second piece, in all its metallic gold glory, hanging by my front door just waiting to greet guests. i also have this one! you can find allyson's art in her etsy shop, and you can also read her blog to see what she and jeremy are growing and currently working on.
