Just made this up a minute ago! New flower, tropical, and spiritual photography available at www.studiocaptura.etsy.com

The move has finally happened, and me and my three roommates are all settled in our cozy two bedroom apartment in Elkins Park, right next to the Elkins Park Train station. We live on the third floor above the old Elkins Park Pharmacy, right next to an antique store, Cafe, and conveinience store. The neighborhood is a warm, friendly place, and I cant wait to take my new toy poodle, Dolly, for long walks in the sunshine.

This means that yes, I will be re-opening my Etsy shop, Studiocaptura.etsy.com, and selling tons of new photography and handmade scarves, hats, and knick knacks. The Reopening of my etsy shop is scheduled for Sunday. Why Sunday? Because today after a long day of work at the karate store and dojong, I am leaving with my boyfriend Chuck to venture out to Pittsburg, where new photographs will be taken, family will be met and re-met,the thrills of Kenneywood will be felt, and a terrified Lynn will go quadding in the mountains. We will return from Pittsburg on Thrusday night, and I will immeadiately start working on new photographs and pictures of some crocheted hats I have been working on.

So I'm the new mommy of a 5 year old Toy Poodle, Dolly. Dolly is a sweet, tiny thing, who loves to cuddle and nap on your lap. She follows you everywhere, and love squeeky balls. She is stay with her sister Jolene at Chuck's parents house until we completely settle in, then she moves in with us. Stay tuned for some pics of my sweet girl.

Namaste, Lynn

Thank you Sugar Rush Jewelry for featuring my "Chinese Temple" fine art print in her awesome treasury!

For my friend's B-day today, We took the train to Philly and visited the Museum of Art. There, I found so much inspiration it has lead to THREE new items in my Etsy shop. Check them out.







Avalokiteshvara The Bodhisattva of Compassion- 8x10 Fine Art Print- One of the most popular devotional deities in Tibet, Avalokiteshvara--the Bodhisattva of Compassion--appears in many forms, but this eleven-headed, "thousand-armed" form (sometimes called Arya, meaning "honored") is perhaps the most beloved. The god's numerous appendages enable him to see and hear all supplicants' needs. The many hands (a third layer of hands originally fanned out at the back of the sculpture) indicate the countless ways in which Avalokiteshvara can assist devotees.-Philadelphia Museum of Art.










Chinese Temple- 8x10 Fine Art Print- Here stands one of the many Chinese Buddhism Deities in a Chinese Temple.







Rainbow Standing Buddha Notecards- Set of 3- 6 colorful Buddhas to light up your day. Inspired by a 2nd century Pakistani sculpture in the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
4 X 5 inches with matching envelopes. Blank on the inside.
