Dirtroad Team - Bella Cosa Art & Big Fat Art Barn

Welcome friends and to spring. We are finely starting to get some wonderful spring weather and enjoying being outside. Please take a few minutes and visit the two wonderful shop I have for you today. Both artist are self taught amazing artists. The first is Bella Cosa Art, found in Big Sky Country. Deana is a busy mom of three who keeps her shops filled with original fine art, recycled goods, cards, jewelry and more. From hand painted spoons to abstract painting she has it all.





The next shop is from Northeast Georgia, called Big Fat Art Barn. Sherry is also a self taught artist. Beside painting she does mosaics, and children's portraits. What a wonderful gift for a mom anytime of the year. When she is not painting she is running a small farm. Sadly her farm was hit by a tornado a few weeks ago. Please stop by her shop and show some love to her and her art. She was blessed that no one was hurt, but having your home and farm moved around by mother nature can be a bit much!

Michigan Shops - Willow Street Gifts and Relic Soap Company

Welcome friends!  I have two more wonderful shop from the great state of Michigan.  The first shop is Willow Street Gifts, where Maria makes jewelry.  Some of the wonderful items she makes are from vintage finds, necklaces from copper, and more.  Maria loves to work with glass, crystals, leather, polymer clay, and more.  Beside makes jewelry she loves to cook, garden, and working with altered art.







The next shop is Relic Soap Company.  Karen makes natural artisan soap, that smells wonderful.  If you are not washing with them, they do scent a room nicely.  My favorite is the lavender mint, but her bug soap is great to wash with in the summer time to help keep the bugs away from you.  No need to use bug spray and the smell is not bad!  I sell with Karen and her husband at the Farmington Farm Market, that is opening this Saturday.  If you are around Farmington stop by and visit and get to smell first hand her soaps.  If not stop by her Etsy shop, and check out all the wonderful and pretty soaps she has to offer.  You will be happy you did!
