Southwest Memories

The Southwest Memories treasury was triggered by this wonderful photograph my friend sent me. You can see in the photo nature is in charge and beautiful. After thinking about past adventures in Arizona and Utah I decided to put this treasury together:



The southwest landscape is majestic and the artists and artisans capture that beauty plus the traditions in jewelry and leather. The paintings have a beautiful weight and power. I also enjoy the abstract paintings non-traditional expression that captures the southwest….

Nature in the desert, mountains, or sea seems to ground me and that’s a wonderful feeling. I feel grateful to live in a place where nature is close. Most of the artists in the treasury are either part of the Finding Fine Art Team or Native American Forum on Etsy.

Etsy Treasury Tool and Treasury Updates

Hello folks I’ve noticed the wide gap between the text and photos of my last post on October 18th. I made the photos with a treasury generator. Since I often discuss other artists and their work I thought you’d like a glimpse of their paintings and jewelry first hand. (The photos of the"Day of the Dead" artwork below are great.)

Although, my first attempt had a few kinks. The kinks are all on my part. I think the tool is worth exploring. My next attempt with the generator and html language will go a little smoother.

Right now I’ll go back to entering updates/news in my regular way. I think it's helpful to see other artists and artisans selections and creativity:

New Treasury's:

Fine Art Collection by Squier is a wonderful selection of original art and prints in different styles and mediums (contemporary, realism, folk, impressionistic etc)

Night Traveler! by Masibill is a lovely collection of art, fashion, and jewelery.

In the Eve of the Beholder by Craftsbykash is soothing collection of art, jewelery and accessories.
