you can afford it fridays

Hey, OK Greats! Today is the first day a new series called You Can Afford it Fridays. I’ll be here each Friday with a round-up of affordable art/stuff, which in my “the recession is NOT over” life means $50 and under.
[1] Autumn Boy is available as a 5×7 or 8×10 print of a pen and ink illustration by artist Nan Lawson. Depending on the size you choose, it’ll cost you $12 or $18.
[2] House Plant 3 is a print of an original gouche painting by Carrie Marill from her series Doing a Lot with Very Little. An 8×10 of this beautiful print will only set you back $25.
[3] Owl is a 5×7 print by Sharon Montrose and is available in her etsy shop for $25.
[4] Invest is a print by Nikki McClure. Nikki uses only an X-acto knife to make her images, and cuts from a single sheet of black construction paper. Her favorite themes are motherhood, nature, and activism and her prints are made with vegetable inks on recycled paper. 14×18″ print for $9.
[5] The Golden Wishbone is a screenprint by Nora Aoyagi. It’s hand-printed by Nora with black and metallic gold ink on beautiful cotton rag paper. Available as an 11×17 for $30.
See you next week! As always with OK Great features, if you have a submission we’d love to hear about it. You Can Afford It Fridays submissions can be sent to me (Ellie) at mintdesignblog [at] gmail [dot] com.
Absolutely LOVE this new series. Amazing way to inspire, to enlighten, and to remember we can all collect the art we love (like Herb & Dorothy… http://www.herbanddorothy.com/)
