Today is the kind of summer day that we in Chicago always wish for. Speaking of wishes, I wish you to know about some beautiful animal art made by Amalia K. Her ETSY store is "The Wish Forest". What a fabulous name. Amalia told me the story behind the name. "As a child, I used to pretend to live in a forest with nobody else but my lovely animal friends. I would imagine that the forest had magical powers to grant any wish I had. So "The Wish Forest" came to me when I named my shop. I guess deep down inside I'm still just a little child."
Amalia lives in the Highlands of Indonesia. Here's what she says about that. "I live up in the mountain area of West Java, quite a lovely place in the city of Bandung. I'm surrounded by nature and live an hour away from a legendary mountain crater called Tangkuban Perahu, which in my language also means "upside down boat". I love how I can see it from my window."
Here are some of Amalia's one of a kind original works. You can find more at: http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheWishForest?ref=seller_info_count. Check out Amalia's blog at www.amalia-k.blogspot.com
