London Photography by Keri Bevan on Etsy

Happy Saturday! I hope that your weekend is off to a good start. What I am going to be doing for the next week is featuring travel photography of various cities from all over the world. Today we are in London, England and I am particularly eager to be sharing with you some fine art by English photographer Keri Bevan. She was kind enough to allow me to feature her work, so make sure to show her some love by visiting her shop and her blog. You can find the links below along with a copy of Keri's Etsy profile. Cheers!

"Hello! I am a UK based fine art photographer. My first camera was a Kodak Instamatic Flashcube camera. By the time I was a teenager I was turning the family bathroom into a darkroom with my vintage film developing equipment. These days I love to evoke a mood of mystery, nostalgia and whimsy through the art of digital photography. I enjoy experimenting with various techniques such as TTV to create photographs that have a dream-like, ethereal quality.

I am lucky to say that my photographs have found their way into magazines and publications around the world, and have even won a few competitions. Mostly I feel lucky for having the opportunity to do what I love most, and for having the opportunity to share that with you.

More Treasuries by Me :)

Treasure This Morning.

Some of my favorite Sunday Morning treasuries.

Valentine's Day Soaps

Heart Shaped Valentine's Day Soaps.

Stamped soaps, inspired by candy conversation hearts, are great gifts for friends. Put in cellophane bags tied with tags; adorn with glitter.

Tools and Materials Nonstick 9-inch square pan
Heart-shape cookie cutter
Glass measuring cup
Glycerin soap
Bench scraper
Soap colorant or food coloring
Spray bottle filled with rubbing alcohol
Cutting board
Needlenose pliers
1/8-inch metal letter stamps
Masking tape

Heart-Shaped Soap How-To We used a 2-inch cookie cutter (1 inch high) and 2 1/2 pounds of glycerin soap-sold at crafts stores-to make 16 hearts.
1. Depending on your equipment, yields may vary. To determine how much glycerin you'll need, fill pan with water to 1/4 inch below height of cookie cutter; pour water into measuring cup. Record amount; discard water.
2. Cut soap into small pieces with bench scraper; fill measuring cup. Microwave on medium heat until melted; stir. Add soap and heat until you've reached the water amount. Add colorant; stir. Pour liquid into pan. Spray with alcohol to eliminate bubbles.
3. Let harden at room temperature, 2 hours. Freeze 10 minutes.
4. Turn upside down onto cutting board. Create soaps with cookie cutter; pull cutter out with pliers if it sticks. Tape stamps together to form words, and imprint on soap, applying light, even pressure.

Valentine's Day DIY

Some of my favorite DIY Valentine's Day Projects.

Heart Garland

String a heart garland on a headboard or mantle. To create the garland, cut similarly sized hearts from decorative paper. Cut another set slightly smaller than the first. Glue each small heart on top of a large heart. With a hole punch, punch a hole on either side of each heart. Thread string through the holes in the hearts.

Romantic Flowers

Give a discount frame a makeover by accenting its features with pretty paper. Make a template using scrap paper, trace the template on floral-pattern paper, cut out, and attach using spray adhesive. Glue strips of red paper over the floral-paper edges

"I Love You" Library Card & Journal

Make your sweetheart feel special on Valentine's Day by giving them a unique card describing 10 reasons why you love them. Tuck a handwritten library card ( template is available, below) inside a library card pocket (found at school supply stores), stamp the pocket with a pretty image, and attach it to a nice journal to complete the gift.

· Get the library card pattern.
