			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I wanted to feature this artist a few months now, because I truly believe she is a talented &amp; positive person. Geninne&#8217;s blog is a place a visit often to see beautiful illustrations and get inspired. Lately her work is mostly focused on bird illustrations and from her photos I can see how much she has evolved her style. She is also a master of stamp carving, a skill that I envy and I will acquire some time on the future. I  am lucky enough to have 3 of her stamps (I won a giveaway in her blog a few months ago!)</p>
<p>Enjoy her work!</p>

<p>This last illustration is my favourite! I love elephants and I have many made from metal and wood, but this one is just amazing!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just before I am about to shut down my pc and myself for today, I opened up a newsletter that came to my inbox, and led me to this lady&#8217;s blog! I have now spent more than 30mins looking at her work. I am in love with her paintings, her attitude, her videos. I really feel I should share what got me so inspired.</p>
<p>Her name is <a href="http://wyartjewels.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Wyanne</a> (pronounced Y-anne ), I think she is based in Florida, and she lives art.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://i1013.photobucket.com/albums/af257/kikikaloudi/kikidicreations%20blog/she-cant-see-clearly.jpg" alt="" width="576" height="579" /></p>
<p>This is called &#8220;She Can See Clearly Now&#8221;. I love it!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="hesitant" src="http://i1013.photobucket.com/albums/af257/kikikaloudi/kikidicreations%20blog/hesitant-girl.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="700" /></p>
<p>The above is called &#8220;Hesitant&#8221;, a mixed media painting on wood. All her work is available @ <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Wyanne" target="_blank">Etsy.com</a></p>
<p>Wyanne paints, sculpts, and makes jewelry. Her paintings are greatly influenced by her life. Certain events from her childhood or present day life always find their way into her paintings. Each painting represents emotions and events in her life.</p>
<p>Take a look at one of her videos below:</p>
<p><object style="height: 344px; width: 425px;" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="100" height="100" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kFQ8sJdFog4" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed style="height: 344px; width: 425px;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100" height="100" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kFQ8sJdFog4" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Hope you enjoyed this as much as I have.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is my 1st interview in this blog, and I am very excited about showcasing <strong>Marina&#8217;s Lampropoulou</strong> work (aka <strong>tothemetal</strong>).</p>
<p>So this is Marina&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>1. Please tell me a bit about yourself, like name, location, some personal stuff.</strong></p>
<p>My name is Marina Lampropoulou. I have been living in the beautiful city of Thessaloniki for 5 years. I moved here from Athens with my better half and our two lovely dogs! I adore animals and nature, I like to cook and I admit I am addicted to the internet!</p>
<p><strong>2. What is your art? &amp; how would you describe your style?</strong></p>
<p>I am jewelry maker/designer. I studied metalsmithing and jewelry design in Thessaloniki. I work mainly with silver often combined with titanium and various other materials.<br />
I would describe my style as minimalistic. Simple organic and geometric forms intrigue me and I try to adapt them into my work.</p>
<p><strong>3. 3 things that you mostly care about in this world.</strong></p>
<p>My family and my friends, who have stood by me over the years, through thick and thin. Our planet and all the creatures on it. Recycle, don’t waste energy and water, respect animals and be kind to them.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 510px"><img title="Wing Earrings by Marina Lampropoulou" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3004/2453447047_d3d88b0a31.jpg?v=0" alt="I have a set of these myself, really elegant design" width="500" height="483" /><p class="wp-caption-text">I have a set of these myself, really elegant design</p></div>
<p><strong>4. What inspires you?</strong></p>
<p>I am fascinated by nature. Ever since I moved to Thessaloniki I have had the chance to be closer to it and observe it. Its perfection is miraculous, from the tiniest insect to the tallest tree. It is pure beauty.<br />
I am also inspired by architecture and industrial design. From Antonio Gaudi to Frank Gehry and from Le Corbusier and Alvar Aalto to Zaha Hadid and Tadao Ando to name but a few of my favorite architects.</p>
<p><strong>5. What made you decide to become an artist?</strong></p>
<p>It actually came as a surprise to me; I didn’t always know I would become an artist. I studied accounting and worked for a period of three years as an assistant accountant. Along the way I discovered I wasn’t satisfied with the nature of the work and its pressure. So after some soul searching and a lot of support by my better half and my family, I decided to resign from my job and study metalsmithing.</p>
<p><strong>6. What is your favorite material and why?</strong></p>
<p>At the moment I would have to say my favorite material is silver. I have experimented a great deal with it and I find its possibilities numerous.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Silver Cuff" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2350/2476716296_6ef61d1403.jpg?v=0" alt="" width="500" height="388" /></p>
<p><strong>7. Could you tell me 5 words that describe you best?</strong></p>
<p>It is very difficult to describe oneself in only 5 words because ones personality is very complex but I’ll give it a shot! I am a very caring person, always considering other people’s feelings, sensitive and kind, optimistic but I tend to keep to myself.</p>
<p><strong>8. Favorite movie?</strong></p>
<p>The Fountain by Darren Aronofsky</p>
<p><strong>9. Favorite food, cuisine &amp; dish?</strong></p>
<p>My favorite food is spaghetti by far! All kinds of it with any kind or topping! I am a big fan of the Greek cuisine and my favorite dish is stuffed tomatoes and peppers with rice, cooked the Cretan way!</p>
<p><strong>10. Who is your favorite artist?</strong></p>
<p>There are so many artists I admire but my all time favorite artist is Gustav Klimt. Gustav Klimt’s work was love at first site!</p>

<p><span style="color: #483d8b;"><strong>1. Πες μου καποια πραγματα για σενα, γενικα για την ζωη σου?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Λέγομαι  Μαρίνα Λαμπροπούλου. Ζω στην όμορφη Θεσσαλονίκη τα τελευταία 5 χρόνια. Μετακόμισα εδώ από την Αθήνα με τον σύντροφό μου και τα δυο πανέμορφα σκυλιά μας! Λατρεύω τη φύση και τα ζώα, απολαμβάνω τη μαγειρική και ομολογώ πως είμαι εθισμένη στο internet!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;"><strong>2. Ποια ειναι η τεχνη σου, και ποιο το στυλ σου πανω σε αυτην?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Σχεδιάζω και κατασκευάζω κοσμήματα. Σπούδασα αργυροχρυσοχοΐα και σχέδιο κοσμήματος στη Θεσσαλονίκη. Στη δουλειά μου χρησιμοποιώ κυρίως ασήμι σε συνδυασμό με τιτάνιο και διάφορα άλλα υλικά.<br />
Το στυλ της δουλειάς μου είναι μινιμαλιστικό.  Με ελκύουν οι απλές οργανικές και γεωμετρικές φόρμες τις οποίες προσπαθώ να προσαρμόζω στα σχέδια μου.</span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Geometric necklace" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3131/3487678071_c627b3c64d.jpg?v=0" alt="" width="500" height="465" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;"><strong>3. 3 πραγματα που νοιαζεσαι περισσοτερο</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Η οικογένειά μου και οι φίλοι μου, που είναι κοντά μου στα καλά και στα άσχημα. Ο πλανήτης μας και όλα τα πλάσματα που τον κατοικούν. Ανακυκλώστε, μην σπαταλάτε νερό και ενέργεια, σεβαστείτε τα ζώα και δείξτε τους αγάπη.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;"><strong>4. Τι ειναι αυτο που σε εμπνεει πανω στην δουλεια σου?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Με συναρπάζει η φύση. Από τότε που μετακόμισα στην Θεσσαλονίκη είχα την ευκαιρία να βρεθώ κοντά της και να την παρατηρήσω. Από το πιο μικροσκοπικό έντομο στο ψηλότερο δέντρο η τελειότητα της είναι μοναδική. Είναι η απόλυτη ομορφιά.<br />
Πηγή έμπνευσής μου αποτελεί ακόμη η αρχιτεκτονική, καθώς και ο βιομηχανικός σχεδιασμός.  Μερίκοι από τους αρχιτέκτονες που θαυμάζω είναι οι: Antonio Gaudi, Frank Gehry, Le Corbusier, Alvar Aalto, Zaha Hadid, Tadao Andο.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;"><strong>5. Πως αποφασισες να γινεις σχεδιαστρια κοσμηματων?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Ήταν έκπληξη για εμένα η ενασχόληση με το κόσμημα. Σπούδασα λογιστική και εργάστηκα ως βοηθός λογιστή για διάστημα τριών ετών.  Κατά τη διάρκεια λοιπόν αυτών των τριών ετών συνειδητοποίησα ότι η φύση και η πίεση της συγκεκριμένης δουλειάς δεν με ευχαριστούσε. Έτσι, μετά από αρκετή εσωτερική αναζήτηση και με την υποστήριξη του συντρόφου μου και της οικογένειάς μου, αποφάσισα να παραιτηθώ από την θέση μου και ξεκίνησα τις σπουδές μου στην αργυροχρυσοχοΐα.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;"><strong>6. Ποια τα αγαπημενα σου υλικα και γιατι?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Αγαπημένο μου υλικό αυτή την περίοδο είναι το ασήμι. Έχω πειραματιστεί αρκετά με το ασήμι και οι δυνατότητες που προσφέρει σαν υλικό είναι πάρα πολλές.</span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Oval earrings" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3407130634_bea7f51e6b.jpg?v=0" alt="" width="500" height="432" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;"><strong>7. Περιγραψε μου την Μαρινα με 5 λεξεις</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Είναι πολύ δύσκολο να περιγράψει κανείς τον εαυτό του μόνο με 5 λέξεις, γιατί θεωρώ ότι η προσωπικότητα του καθενός είναι πολυσύνθετη. Παρόλα αυτά θα το προσπαθήσω! Ενδιαφέρομαι πολύ για τους άλλους, πάντα λαμβάνω υπόψη μου τα συναισθήματά των γύρω μου, είμαι ευαίσθητη και ευγενική, αισιόδοξη αλλά ιδιαίτερα κλειστός χαρακτήρας.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;"><strong>8. Αγαπημενη ταινια?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Πηγή ζωής του Darren Aronofsky</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;"><strong>9. Αγαπημενο φαγητο/κουζινα?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Αγαπημένο μου φαγητό είναι μακράν τα μακαρόνια! Όλα τα είδη με οποιαδήποτε σάλτσα! Είμαι λάτρης της ελληνικής κουζίνας και από τα αγαπημένα μου πιάτα είναι τα γεμιστά, όπως τα μαγειρεύουν στην Κρήτη!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;"><strong>10. Και τελος, αγαπημενος καλλιτεχνης?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Είναι πάρα πολλοί οι καλλιτέχνες που θαυμάζω, αλλά από τους πιο αγαπημένους είναι ο Gustav Klimt. Τα έργα του Gustav Klimt ήταν για μένα έρωτας με την πρώτη ματιά!</span></p>
