Mimilove

This week I was the lucky recipient of a fantastic piece(s) of art by a very talented artiste I have been privileged enough to come into contact with and get to know....the Fabulous Mimilove
As an avid browser of Etsy and flickr I happened upon this artists work and was instantly a fan, her pieces cover so many aspects that I look for in artwork that is very rarely addressed. They have vivid colour, texture, humor and great composition showing a fun and flirty but clearly talented technique.

The combination of colour, both in the painted and then stitched details are amazing and the impact of these pieces in person are nothing less than fantastic.
This all started a few months ago...To my amazement after some mutual messages and flattery Mimilove asked if I would be interested in a swap...Well, I was both excited and nervous at the same time but didn’t hesitate in saying yes, and she was then wonderfully patient with me while I got my proverbial S*#T together.

I have to say also that I am the first recipient in this mutual swap and Mimilove is still showing her awesome patients with me, who is still stitching...."Its coming Mimi, I promise!"
Anyway…. enough about me, back to the talented Mimilove.
I also wanted to point out the fantastic thought and personalization that goes into her art pieces.
For me Mimi painted a Woodsman spider(I love spiders and all things crawly) The woodsman is a native spider to both Australia and Japan, as am I.
There are also multiple references to Japan in the form of little Godzillas or as they are now aptly named Mimizillas, a hello kitty and the list goes on.

As if that wasnt enough........She even included this one as a  little gift....its  like Christmas!

So a great big thank you to you Mimilove!!! I love my new artworks.....You Rock lady!

  5. I can't believe how incredibly talented she is. I wish I could paint with a scrap of that talent.She's also very generous in her praise of the lesser talented mortlas. Lucky you to own some of her gorgeousnesses.
