Irisangel Graphics

If I had to use just one word to describe the work of Irisangel, it would be Classy. The “About Me” section of her store says that it should really be “About Us”, though. I became acquainted with Peggy online quite some time ago, but she says that she and her husband, Ed, make up the "team". They are retired and finally get a chance to pursue new and interesting places to travel, new people to meet and enjoying every minute of the journey. She and Ed have four children and eight grandchildren. I’m sure they keep them quite busy, too. Ed is retired from the NYPD, and Peggy has done just about everything from teaching ceramics to restaurant management. She started uploading images in October 2006 when she couldn’t work any longer because of serious back problems and arthritis. Zazzle and the stock sites have given them places to share their wonderful talent with the rest of us, and what a blessing that is!

Peggy describes their designs as being rather unique in that they are image and illustration compositions. They are all original designs that you can personalize with your own names, information or greeting. They specialize in wedding and anniversary invitations using a combination of techniques to create not only unique but elegant designs. The beautiful style carries over into all the holiday creations, too.

Trying to pick just a few items to feature today was a very difficult job. When you visit their store, I'm sure you will see why. Whether you are looking for greeting cards, invitation packages (including cards, stickers, placeholders, postage, etc.), ornaments, necklaces, or postage, I’m sure you’ll find something perfect for your needs.

Encourage One Another

Encourage One Another is a beautiful store full of “Words of faith to lift your spirit and soul.” I have been acquainted with Denise Beverly’s work for quite some time now. Denise is a Christian wife and mother who lives in the beautiful mountains of East Tennessee on the border of Southwest Virginia. She is a self-taught photographer and digital artist who considers her art a gift from God, and from her father who was an avid photographer and is now resting safe in the arms of Jesus. Denise says she is a simple person who is fascinated by God’s creation and in awe of His mercy and grace. This is evidenced in her designs.

Denise also offers her art at a local store called Treasures In Time and online with Zazzle, Greeting Card Universe, and printbusinesscards.com.

I have selected a few of this very creative artist’s work to feature here, and I know you will enjoy it as much as I do. Please be sure to visit her at Encourage One Another.

We're Just Beginning!

It has been on my mind for quite some time now to do a blog that features Christian artists. The hardest part is taking the first step and moving forward. The mind is willing to "do", but the schedule always seems to say "I have other plans for you!" So today, I pressed in and set the plan in motion.

There are a lot of people who have a God-given talent for art in many different forms. With all of the confusion in our world today, it is very inspiring to see people using what they have been given to share their Christian faith. The purpose of this blog is to feature those individuals and the beautiful creativity within them. Please look for my first featured artist in the next day or two. In the meantime, be sure to follow me so you don't miss anything.
