Art Love: Michelle at unitedthread

Last week I the pleasure of receiving a package in the mail. Now, I'm a girl who loves any package, even a boring box of replacement checks... you still get to open it. It's like a miniature Christmas, right? It's important to enjoy the little things!

This package, however, was something special. It was a print I had ordered from an etsy shop called unitedthread, run by a woman named Michelle;  a print of an original watercolor called "Five Whales Stacked" that I knew would be perfect for my boys' room. (My oldest is following in his mom's science-loving footsteps and has adopted the whale as his favorite animal... it's mine, too!)

 

I found the print via Pinterest and stalked it through the internet jungle until I came upon this etsy shop and sent Michelle a message to see if I could get a copy of the whales I loved so much (it wasn't listed in the shop at the time, but I did notice it there today). She agreed right away, and when the package arrived it even contained a little thank you note - love that! 

Michelle is very talented and has even been a featured seller on etsy -- hop on over there and read more about her and her creative process... and take a look at a few of my favorites out of the many prints available in her shop:

Heron

Zebras At The Water Hole

Hawk Owl

Bee Hive

Six Whales Stacked 

(almost bought this one instead... love them both!)

P.S. I didn't receive anything in exchange for this post, I just loved my print so much I wanted to share her talent with you!

P.P.S. If you love these like I love these, it appears there's a 15% off sale happening at the unitedthread shop right now...
