Item:  “We Sleep Under the Stars” Print
Seller:  GretchenMist

Came across this seller on my Etsy search and fell in love!  The seller (GretchenMist) sells on Etsy from Melbourne, Australia and has some really darling items in her Etsy shop.

This item is a digital print of an original block print.  I have seen this kind of art before on Etsy and think it’s super cool.  The seller takes an original drawing and hand-carves it into a rubber block.  GretchenMist says she re-colored the art in Photoshop, thus making it a digit print of the block print.

Here’s another pic:

Isn’t this Etsy art so adorable?

I thought the seller’s description of this item was sweet.  “A road trip in a van like this is a romantic ideal of mine! I love the idea of sleeping in a bed on top of the roof under the stars.”  Summer here I come!

This print is $18.00 and is one of my favorite Etsy art pieces thus far.  Stop by and take a look at all the seller’s fun prints – you’ll love them!

    really cute item. Love the name and what Belinda had to say about it. That’s one of etsy’s great strengths, that the items are personal, and really mean something
