Sponsor Welcome - Goodbye Tuesday

Prepared to be BLOWN away by my newest sponsor Chloe Shard...her incredible sketches are nothing short of ah-maaaazing.

Each of Chloe's pieces begins with a vintage photograph like this...

...which she then sketches, shades and colours.

And when she's done, the final work is pretty much art nirvana...

Are you still standing?

Incredible right?

Here's some more from her drawing divinity...

Truly inspired.

Chloe sells her completed drawings and also does commissioned work...whispers...there's one being made just for me and well...it's already so so beautiful.

Here's the photograph Chloe and I decided on...


...and the preliminary sketch...


...ridiculous.

Now you want one right?  Well...if you commission a piece from Chloe, you can pick your picture from a huge selection of vintage photographs and then even request certain colours/shades etc...as you might probably guess, mine is going to have hints of pink and gold in there...happy dancing.

I'm pretty sure you all need one of these...you know your house/room would look infinitely cooler with a Chloe Shard original on your walls....just ask Jessica...here's her piece sitting pretty in the dining room...


...along with those gold walls of her, well...the whole thing has just sort of killed me softly. 

You can see the rest of Chloe Shard's gorgeous work HERE and if you want to glance through all of the photographs first, just to get some inspiration, click HERE.

And with that, I'll say a huge you're welcome..it's not everyday you get introduced to this kind of greatness;)

High fives love bots.

How am I just now seeing this??
First of all, I love the subject you've chosen. Prepare to be blown away by the detail when it arrives.
Chloe is an amazing artist and I hope she'll continue to get more and more recognition.
Also, this is totally making me miss my old dining room. That piece is in storage with the movers until we get our new place and those stripes are long gone :( ...But I can't wait to find a new home for her in our next place.
