Etsy Find of the Day: Gillian Bates

I fell hard for British "designer/maker" Gillian Bates's embroidered art pieces after I saw them on the UK-based Not Mass Produced recently. Happily, I just discovered that Bates also has an Etsy shop where she sells postcard-sized reproductions of her charming and intricate stitchery-on-canvas art. Above: Marine Court With Lady

I Love Ice Cream

Each 4-by-6-inch postcard is printed onto tactile cotton canvas and costs just $5. Generously matted, framed, and hung in a grouping of three or more, these would have a lot of impact for very little expense. (Who says you can't fill your home with interesting art when you're on a tight budget?)
