Many people observe Earth Day every day and that is a good thing. I chose these shops to feature in regard to their love of nature, caring for the planet, spreading a good message about our fragile earth, and respect for our depleting natural resources.
It’s so nice to see more and more people taking the earth into consideration as they create their artwork. Search Earth Day, Planet Earth, earth, Mother Earth, eco friendly, and nature. If you like this week’s Fantastic Five, check out the past ones here.
1. Colorado Woods Black Ink Linocut Block Print by Summer Triangle Studios $26: This original block print of shadowed, tall trees with a glimpse of a rocky stream was carved by hand in lino and printed on acid free paper with black printmaker’s ink. The artist’s love of our planet shows in this fine art selection as well as the earthy way of photographing it. Beautiful shop, so be sure to stop by.
2. Nature Tree Art Coaster Set by Wildvine Unlimited $14: The trees for this set of 4 coasters were made by hand cutting the designs out of indoor/outdoor vinyl. Read the description in the listing for the entire process to create these interesting coasters, perfect for Earth Day and Every Day! This is a cute shop with a wide variety of handmade goods. Check it out!
3. Can You See The Forest Thru The Trees? by Zahour $95: A large necklace of sterling silver painstakingly hand sawn and filed. Her jewelry is little wearable sculptures inspired from both nature and the industrial and busy city of New York. Be sure to see her other jewelry made from 100% recycled gold. This shop is perfect for Earth Day. The artist says: Feel happy in your choice to help the environment and not mine more gold by choosing one of my rings for your wedding day!
4. Planet Love Bibbed Apron by Sewlicitations $25: In the artist’s own words: “PLANET LOVE is what we all should be feeling in these very difficult times. Let’s all love one another and do our part to preserve the planet!” Having a backyard barbecue on Earth Day or taking a camping trip to a state park? Spread the word wearing this commercial size embroidered apron with its important message.
5. Earth Day Every Day Magnet by Breath of the Dragon $5.95: In the artist’s words: “This is a classic Earth Day design, seen on t-shirts, posters and mugs alike. Now it’s on a round wooden magnet, ready to stick on any metal surface, as a reminder to make every day Earth Day.”
