Artist Spotlight: Yellena James

"Thrive" 11"x11" print by Yellena

How gorgeous is this print from Etsy artist Yellena - I've loved her work for ages, It's super detailed and the colors are really rich and vibrant. The print above, Thrive looks like it could be an image of a primordial soup deep in the ocean, or a bioluminescent coral reef. Simply gorgeous!

Here are some of Yellena's other tasty prints

"Silk" 7.5"x7.5" by Yellena

"Simmer" 11"x11" by Yellena

Jellyfish Hand Pulled Screenprint

Look at this gorgeous slikscreen print by artist Amanda James - I have a thing for extremely detailed artwork like this lovely jelly. I think it's because I love the look, but it's in no way something that I could "just make myself" because I'd run out of patience after about five minutes!
