The Artistic Endeavors series continues with the uber-talented Susanna Scott of sushipot showing off her
favorite mixed media and fiber art pieces on Etsy.
This list of mixed media art, discovered among the vast plethora of work on Etsy, echoes what I’ve stated in my shop profile: my inspiration comes from all things old, chipped, cracked, worn, dusty, used, found, buried, designed, loved, pieced, intricate, aged and transfigured.
HALF OFF steampunk CONSTRUCTION, RESCUED WOOD
An iconic found object assemblage; there is a wall in my home lusting after this piece! By dolangeiman, $325.
her heart lay bare original collage
Annie’s daily collage studies are well designed and spontaneous. They would be delightful in small groupings. By curbsidetreasure, $25.
Antique Japanese Boro Indigo Cotton Futon Cover Futongawa
An amazing antique futon cover from Japan. It’s exquisitely aged — Japan meets Gee’s Bend! By kimonoboy, $400.
Truly a bit of mixed media fine art. Everyone needs a landscape in his or her art collection! By racheltrobertson, $175.
SALE 50 percent off Paper and Coffee No.2
This piece has been dwelling among my favorites for over a year. I’m a sucker for grids, graphs, and of course, coffee. By marinarios, $140.
This is another great piece of functional sculpture. This necklace could double as a breastplate! Fiber art meets whimsical function. (And who can resist all those vintage buttons?) By SCRAPdannymansmith, $140.
Beautiful and raw, this piece from studiobeerhorst is lovely in its simplicity. $30.
Standing in a Net of Your Stories – embroidered art book
This is a new shop on Etsy and I’m so happy to have discovered it for this list. These narrative embroideries are top notch and a fresh twist on traditional fiber art. By IvivaEmbroiders, $145.
Interior with Lady. An Original Collage
I discovered Jacqui’s work while compiling this list and I’m in love. Her gentle aesthetic is captivating and each collage contains a compelling narrative. By herselfsurprised, $25.
Who needs a bouquet when you can have a pod full of wonderful forms that never wilt? Quirky sculpture at its finest! By bunnywithatoolbelt, $50.
This is an exquisite mixed media piece exploring the poetic sensibilities of an innocuous television antenna. A must-see, must-read-the-full-description mixed media discovery! By robindanely, $125.
Looking for more artwork? Stay tuned for the rest of the Artistic Endeavors series.

Always admiring Sushipot's work. Great work highlighting mixed media art which is never as easy as it seems. It takes a lot of time to create mixed media art. I just finished 2 decoupage wooden letters that took forever! http://www.flickr.com/photos/kisforcalligraphy/3208553477/ Love that curbsidetreasure!
