I don't even remember how I ran across Danita on the internet. It was a little while ago and since then, I have become somewhat of a stalker. I just can't get enough of Danita's art. I haunt her blog daily just to see what new and wonderful things she may be working on. I particularly love her Fridas. Here's a hint for all my peeps out there: if you are looking for the perfect gift for me for Christmas, look no further. (I don't know why I just used the word "peeps". I really have no idea what it means, but saying it makes me feel like I have tons of friends.)
Danita has talent seeping out of her every pore. Not only does she paint she also makes:
Keepsake Boxes
Art Dolls
Collage Cuties
Jewelry!
Holiday ArtDanita is a self taught mixed media artist who uses an alchemist's treasure of materials and techniques to create pieces that freeze little moments in her character's lives. Sometimes her little people escape their paintings and enter our world in the form of fabric dolls. She defines herself as a night owl, animal lover and a paper addict. If you'd like to know more about her work, drop by her Etsy store at etsy.danitaart.com and her blog at http://www.danitaart.com/
I'm thinking of starting a Danita Stalker club on Facebook that you may consider joining.So all you peeps (there I go again) know that each time I feature an artist, I also do a giveaway. Today you get to actually choose your prize. Have a look at all the art prints you see here and in her shop and leave a comment saying which print you would love to win. I am going to be a little MIA for the next couple of days as I will be sequestered on a airplane and schlepping my suitcases around airports. Hopefully, on Friday, in between seeing the sights of Bangkok I can pop in and announce a winner. Until then, good luck! I'm off to Thailand!

I am in love with Little Red Riding Hood and now I must go to this Etsy store and research this talent further.
Have fun in Bangkok!
Becoming a stalker of blogs and etsy shops is the best part of my day!! Glad to know I am in good company April!!
Danita's work is so charming -- that Frida is amazing! My favourite (of everything and there are many to love!) is Moon Keeper.
Have a wonderful trip!
I love the Moon Keeper design. I also will have to check out the etsy sight to see some fun stuff. I also have fascination with the Frida.

Wow! There are so many cool prints to choose from! I really like "Spread the Joy" as it reminds me of my little Asian daughter to come...love the red!
Can't wait to hear about your adventures in Thailand!
I really like the halloween holiday art, it's festive and nostalgic. :) Thanks for introducing me to lovely new talent!

Thanks for introducing me to this lovely, fabulously talented artist! It's so hard to choose a favorite, I really love her Fridas and mermaids, but I'm especially drawn to "Night Gown."
Thanks!
Have fun in Thailand! Thanks to you I now have the song "One Night in Bangkok" stuck in my head. LOL

'Swimming' just captures me, I'm not sure why, maybe something about the coloring or how free she looks. Also, it would look awesome hanging in my daughters room. Thanks for your fun blog. I love checking it out.
My favorite or Danita's print is 'swimming'. I wish they still made swimsuits and swim caps like that! She is a very talented artist.
oh my gosh....those halloween prints are amazing and to die for and i really really need every single thing!
I wish I could lose my first tooth all over again just to place it in one of those adorable boxes for the tooth fairy or the "tooth santa" (funny story for another time!). I die for the Halloween stuff of course but who knew a cherubic Frida complete with monobrow could be so loveable?
I love Little Red Riding Hood and Dandelion! I always love her stuff! If you start a facebook thing with her, I'm in! I love it!

Oh my gosh! I think I have also become an instant stalker! I love all of them!!! I really think dandelions and red riding hood and moon keeper are great! I also love the collage cuties and the keepsake boxes! I feel excited! I am going to become a follower too!
I have been a Danita stalker for a while. I love Moon Keeper and all of her Mermaids.
I also check in with Danita's blog frequently! I've really got my eye on her Snow White! I think it would look awesome in my girl's room. Have a lovely trip.

She is fabulous! Great find.
Being a Dandilion Girl myself, I would just love to win a copy of Danita's beautiful Dandilion print.
Thanks! xo

Thanks for introducing me to Danita. I mean, seriously, how to pick?!?!?!? So very talented.

Oh! I love her art too, so whimsical and sweet! definitely count me in
I love "A Prayer".
I'm brand new to Etsy, and I've already got half-a-dozen favorite sellers, Danita included. I think I'm already addicted...
Thanks!
i was immediately drwan to little red riding hood and all her yummy goodness..... she is exquisite!
I really like a few of them, but after having spent TOO long picking, I have decided on... "Twilight"... :-) It was really hard to pick one. I also liked Conejos en vuelta(i think it is called, Spreading the Joy, and Moon Keeper. But... "Twilight" it is... :-)
Thank you for this giveaway! I am a Danita stalker myself.
I will love to win "Angel of the Broken Hearts" I just love how the crackle shows on light colors and the face is so beautiful
Have a fun trip!
