Yes, I am the garden blogger. But today, I am the poodle blogger, focusing on fauna rather than flora. These poodle etchings by St. Louis artist, Haley, who just got a BFA in printmaking from Wash. U., are whimsical in the best sort of way. She loves poodles, and hand-tints all of her "poodles in famous art" prints by hand ... plus, she donates 5 percent of the proceeds to animal welfare causes. My favorite Haley print so far is "Poodle with a Pearl Earring":
Note that Etsy installed a "Shop Local," button quite a while ago, so there's plenty of St. Louis artists, most of them with very reasonally priced work, easily within mouse-reach. So if poodles aren't your thing, you can always go with maps and rocks. --Stefene Russell
