Art in the Everyday...

  Thumbprintz was originally created as an online store through  www.etsy.com/shop/thumbprintz selling “functional art”, a relatively new term in the art world where everyday items such as shelves, tables, and chairs are turned into works of art. The name Thumbprntz came into being while working on my art I would be up to my elbows in paint, ink and glue, inevitably leaving a fingerprint on my new creations.    Thumbprintz’s products are handmade items using store bought and “up/recycled” materials turning ordinary household items into functional art. I often stumble across items that just need a little thumbprintz’s touch. I hope to recycle unwanted goods from yard sales, flea markets, and yes the unwanted that are thrown away, and create a work of art from them and give them a new life. Each product is an elaborate collage, and every design is truly one-of-a-kind and if you look closely will see a thumbprint on it!    Favorite items to create include are handmade journals, altering boxes of all kinds, shelving, mirrors, frames...everything! I also make cards and original art on canvas and other mediums. Love our style but have an idea for personalization? Please just convo me with your idea, no extra charge for customized pieces- price will be the same as any other similar item we offer.
