Supporting Artists and small businesses - Dona Zarzanga

Calavera Sugar Skull Handpainted Planter

I do think we should support artists and small business if we believe in them and their artwork.

Thus, and as we're approaching Samhain/Halloween, I would like to present you the artwork of a friend of mine: Dona Zarzanga.

She has new items. I think you'll love her pieces.

I am torn between the vases, any of the cats or the owl.

She ships abroad, all the way from our corner of the world - Lisbon, Portugal -, in case you were wondering.

I hope you enjoy her work as much as I do.

I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

...I know I've been away, but it was for a good cause.

I told you you would be bumping into Photography every once in a while, as it is a subject I am quite fond of.

These past 2 weeks I was away, in a stunning place (small village and municipality, in the middle of forests) called Góis.

So... How do you find Góis?!? Góis is a little municipality (and village) in Portugal, at about 40km away from Coimbra district.

I was there on vacation walking, sleeping, taking photographs and revisiting lovely friends!

And where can you find my photograps? Too easy!

Either on my DeviantArt profile or on my Flickr photostream.

Here are a few examples of what you can find there...
