Our family portrait collection grows...

I wanted to share something really special that my friend Cameron created for my little family...a three-dimensional paper-cut portrait set! I've posted about Cameron and his amazing talent before, and I seriously cannot get over what he's made here. What a talented guy, huh?!

If you like what you see, stay tuned, because Cameron will be hosting another giveaway right here in just a few weeks.  He does portraits by very limited commission via his shop, so check back often to see if they're available, or follow his blog or twitter to stay up to date!

And thank you again Cameron for this amazing gift. Our minds are blown! We love it so much and will treasure it for years and years to come.

Artwork for kid's spaces

When I was planning out Henry's nursery, I knew that I definitely wanted to incorporate lots of art into the design. In my mind I pictured a gallery wall, full of bright, stimulating prints that would make the both of us smile every time we looked at it. I also wanted to choose artwork that would transition well into his "big boy" room when the time came. Below you'll find some of my most favorite Etsy shops for art, and one of my picks from their shop that could work for either gender. Enjoy, and let me know if you have a favorite Etsy artist I should check out too!

p.s. the lovely Kate from Cinnamon Ink actually sent Henry the sweetest gift- this print, as seen up there in the first grouping!  We love it, and love the quote. Definitely be sure to check out her shop.Source URL: https://sweettattooforgirls.blogspot.com/search/label/artwork

Angelique Houtkamp

Oh, Angelique! I love this woman's artwork so very much and yesterday after sharing my phone's background image via twitter (click here), I found that a lot of my friends didn't know who this wonderful artist was. So of course I felt it necessary to write a little blog about the wonderful-ness that is Angelique Houtkamp.





Angelique is a Dutch tattooist living in Amsterdam and didn't actually start drawing or painting until she was 30! I started getting into her a few years ago, and fell in love with her traditional yet beautiful artwork. I typically love everything she creates, and Hank and I both really adore each of her books. A handful of my friends have A.H. inspired pieces, and my next tattoo will be just that. I can't wait.


Be sure to check out her site by clicking this link and really take in all of her beautiful projects, paintings, and prints. You can buy everything via her website (which I recommend since the money goes directly to her), but if the books aren't available there you can always buy them via Amazon, and I highly recommend doing so. You definitely won't be disappointed. I find something new to be inspired by every time I flip through them, and they're a great addition to any coffee table or library. She also recently came out with a line drawing book that we can't wait to get.








Here's my most favorite print of hers on our wall:


and a closer image from the framer's shop:



I'm really excited to have a wall full of her prints (and hopefully one day an original painting) at the new house. She's incredibly inspiring to me, and really shows that tattoo art is truly beautiful. I hope if you didn't know about her before, you possibly found a new artist to fall in love with via this post. And if you already were a fan, then I hope her artwork brightened your day a bit!

Happy Friday everyone!
