    Artist Release | 'Blank(eted) in Blue' Collection by Mary Hamby
    Surprise—today we thought we'd treat you to a fabulous release from a new Campbell Collective artist, Mary Hamby!
     
    These whimsical works are all thoughtfully connected by the deep blue indigo throughout the collection. Some pieces include beautiful, layered bits of added texture with the addition of hand-sewn details.
    Colorful collection of vases and clouds artwork all layered together.
     
    The artist states, “Blank(eted) in Blue is all about layers. Each original piece of art starts as a sheet of watercolor paper before getting blank(eted) in a rich layer of indigo cyanotype and developed under the slightly cloudy skies that inspired it. To finish, I add layers and layers of colorful paint, hand-stitched vibrant cotton borders and considered accents, and occasionally, a little glint of gold. The works in this series are designed to stand alone, but pair beautifully together in harmony, thanks to their compatible sizes and palettes. A striking balance of structure and whimsy, this series is one you'll want to view up close, as each piece is filled with thoughtful details to discover."
