Bound.

This is a follow up to this post.  I know you're busy, so here is a summary:

My business name no longer fits my business, brand, and the direction that I want my work to go. After having my business officially up and running for two years, I have further solidified my artistic desire and intent.  I described this in that post as well:

"Intentions typically flow from a belief system.  Mine is that everything in this universe - you, me, the trees, the animals, the stars, planets, all things vegetable, mineral and otherwise - are all made of the same materials and are therefore bound to each other on a much deeper level than our evolving human brains can comprehend right now.
The point is that people have strayed away from that universal connection over the centuries, and it has led humanity down an incredibly narrow and destructive path.  My hope is to remind people of that connection, of the importance and value of all of the other life on this earth aside from just the human life.  If you are already living that connection, I want to inspire it further.
I've been thinking about this for quite some time, but haven't wanted to move on it until I found the  name that represented it all perfectly, the name that resonated with me, that excited every cell in my being, and that I knew was going to envelope my artistic life and work forward indefinitely."

So... without further adieu...I present to you:

So what does this mean for you, as a reader, shopper or collector?

1.  The biggest change is the work itself and how you view the gallery. In an effort to hone my work and focus, all work is now categorized in four series falling under the umbrella of Bound and the meaning behind it. 

Woodland Bound - The forest, the trees, the leaves, the undergrowth. Le sigh.

Climax Bound - Abstraction comes from within.  When reaching those physical and mental peaks in life, I see color. Moving, sweeping, flowing color.

Sky Bound - The endless, epic universe blows the mind.

Earth Bound - This planet harbors and creates incredible natural formations that beg to be ogled and cherished.


2.  Over the past few weeks I have been transitioning all venues as well. 

The website is still www.emilymagone.com and the updates in accordance with the brand are complete.

The new blog location is http://blog.emilymagone.com/

Everything else is in the same place, but has the new name (or just my name) at the top:

Facebook
Instagram
Pinterest
Society6


3.  My commitment to this direction also means that I will be limiting the custom work I do that doesn't fit within the scope of Bound.  There will always be exceptions of course! But all my new work moving forward will be a piece of the aforementioned collections, or will be the beginning of a new Bound collection.

I am ridiculously excited about this next step forward in my artistic life, and I want nothing more than for you to come along on this journey with me!  

"What I want to do with my art is to give you an opportunity to connect with the earth in new ways on a daily basis, to display and wear your love and appreciation for our natural world.  So when you can't be out frolicking in nature, a little piece of nature can be bringing joy and calm to your day, which then makes you want to be frolicking in nature...and so on. 

I want to help people become aware of their connection to each other and everything around them, to renew that connection, to maintain that connection.  There is incredible beauty in the tiniest details.

The Earth is beautiful. Bathe yourself in it. Feel the Beauty."

Many, many thanks to Lisa Wood for the amazing logo design and listening to me ramble for days on end about this relaunch. I love you so <3

The Ponchos Are Here

Just launched! I've been dreaming about making hand-painted ponchos for some time, and finally, here they are!

These ponchos are deliciously soft and drape beautifully. They can be worn off either shoulder, or turned to the front and wrapped as a scarf as well! They look beautiful worn as a casual layer, or as a dressy wrap over evening wear and dresses. They make a lovely swim coverup as well!

Material: 100% Light Rayon
Weight: Light to Medium
Size: 35" wide x 20" length, neck opening is 17" wide
Hem: Machine Sewn

Here are a few of my favorite shots.  Photography by Amanda Webb of Footsteps Photography.

Mushroom Hunting!

So we went mushroom hunting in Brandon Forest Park and it was EPIC.  The sun was shining, the leaves were crisp, there was moss EVERYWHERE, and every mushroom we came across was different than the last.  After filling our cameras, we headed back to the farm and proceeded to get day drunk on vodka salads, i.e. bloody marys, and play a few raucous games of Mille Bornes and Trivial Pursuit.

Here are my favorite captures of the day ;)

Many paintings to come!!

So Many New Things!

There are so many new beauties in the shop this week!  Enjoy! And as always, please contact me at www.emilymagone.com or at emilymagone@gmail.com if you have any questions!

Giant Veil Scarves

Part of my newest collection, these massive handpainted lightweight silk scarves can be tied in endless ways. The silk is very light, smooth and sheer and feels amazing against the skin. They look incredible blowing in the breeze, and are abundant in fabric for protecting your neck and face from the cool wind. They make delicious beach cover ups, head wraps, shawls, veils and a lovely sheer layer over any skirt or leggings! The possibilities are endless...and with something so soft and luscious in your arsenal, you'll want to figure out as many ways to wear it as you can ;)

Handpainted Silk Ornaments

I wanted some lovely little nature-filled beauties to sprinkle around my home for the holidays this year! Each ornament in this collection is hand painted on silk and is a one of a kind piece.  3", 6" and  10" in diameter and strung with a clear, looped hanger, this tiny piece of art is ready to hang on your mantle, your wall, in your window or wherever else you desire!

These ornaments are meant for inside use only.

Printed Leggings & Skirts

I am now working with ArtofWhere in Montreal, Canada, to produce beautiful leggings and skirts with my paintings printed on the fabric!  I'm so excited! Just in time for boot weather ;)

And remember, it is perfectly appropriate to shop for yourself for Christmas too ;)

Enjoy discount codes, first looks at new designs, specials and other fabulousness!
