We’re going funky and original this week in our Boutique Cafe Fashion Show. We wanted to feature the incredible artwork, fashion and design of Teri from Princess Tomato. Her lifelike hand-painted clothing with whimsical touches are legendary in the eBay boutique world. We’re thrilled to showcase Princess Tomato this week.
When asked about her inspirations, Teri says:
“Okay, okay,,,what inspires me? Probably sounds really dumb, but I do like to crack myself up. When I think of a character or subject I want to paint, I love to think about being in that character’s world. If I were really there, what would I be looking at, doing, thinking? When an idea makes me laugh or smile, then I am usually inspired to build upon it and complete it.
Here is a quote by Gustav Klimt that I just ran across. Fits my mood for the day:
“Whoever wants to know something about me – as an artist which alone is significant – they should look attentively at my pictures and there seek to recognise what I am and what I want.”-Gustav Klimt
Ideas and opportunities usually come to me best when I have a spirit of gratitude about me. I cannot be grateful ENOUGH for being able to create and do what I love. That people would even consider buying what I do is just amazing to me. I have so many ideas and projects on the to-do list that it can be overwhelming. My current prayer is that one day I will be prepared enough to do something really wonderful—that the ideas that are currently on the back burner out of necessity will be able to become realities. Thanks so much, Daria, for having the vision to put together Boutique Cafe! It is a great community for designers and artists! ”
