Buying Arty Stuff From Artists

Dear Liza,

One of the nicest things about having artists in my life, besides knowing the lovely artists themselves, is getting pretty stuff!

My friend Ruth Inman is an artist who lives in Illinois. She does delightful, pretty, quirky art, with lots of purples, golds, dragonflies, and doodles.

Me and my nifty new scarf

She has gone into business with a company called Redbubble that puts her art onto scarves, purses, face masks, and even shower curtains. You can order these online, which is very nice for these days of not-going-out.

The scarf itself

I have been having art classes with Ruth online, and in one of these classes, she made a beautiful piece of art. I liked it so much, I bought it on a scarf from Redbubble. And yesterday, it arrived!

She can be found at Ruth Inman.redbubble.com

Care directions: Do not eat hats!

It is so soft and pretty, and huge. The colors are blue and a golden brown, which will make it useful for summer and fall, and it feels like a cloud. I am so pleased!

Even a nifty zip-seal bag

If you have arty stuff needs go visit Redbubble, just for fun.

Love,

Grandma Judy

  1. Thank you so much for your kind words. I am always impressed at what they do to my artwork when they put it on products. At the risk of sounding like I’m advertising I would like to offer the following link for your blog. This goes directly to my products on Redbubble:
    ruthinman.redbubble.com
    I think I have about 18 designs up there at this time. Thank you so much and I am so so pleased that you are happy with the scarf!
    Much love and hugs,
    Ruth

    1. Hi, I’m glad you enjoyed the article. I have added your Redbubble link. Advertising is good, you silly! It’s what let’s you do more of what you love.
