Believe it or not, I used Etsy Local to search for artisians in my area. One talented lady convo’d me back and asked if I wanted to visit her studio.
Of course I did! Working out of my home makes me want to visit a real jewelry studio, and there was one right off of Main [...]

Mammadoo’s Matryoshka
Originally uploaded by mammadoo’s art
I participated in a Swap-Bot Matryoshka Doll Swap. These are the dolls that were made for me. They arrived today. Aren’t they cute!
It is really fun to make something for a complete stranger and have them make something for you. And so far my presents have been inspiring.
For example, I [...]
Snow Day!

Oh, snow!
Glorious snow!
That cools the skin
White feathers blow
It warms the heart..
And cheers the day
When school is out
And kids can play!

This week I chose to interview an artist called Bluebetween at Etsy. She also has a website of her own at http://www.bluebetween.com. I myself was inspired by her tree charms. I love trees. Enjoy our little conversation…
First of all, what inspires you?
Mmmn, what doesn’t? Nature is probably my biggest influence - trees, birds, flowers, ocean [...]
Scarf Crocheted Using Recycled Cotton Yarn
Posted in Crochet, Etsy, tagged cotton, Crochet, Etsy, fibers, for sale, hand dyed, natural, Scarf, Yarn on January 26, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I bought some wonderful yarn 1/2 price from an Etsy seller, soulfulhues, and now I am crocheting a wonderful scarf.
One day, when I was getting feedback on my first Etsy scarf, someone mentioned that they loved it, but they only purchase natural fibers. That makes, sense, I thought. So I set myself on the lookout [...]

Embroidered Rose Pillowcase
Originally uploaded by shaunaaltman
I finally finished this pillowcase. I will be sending it to the UK for a handmade gift swap on http://www.swap-bot.com.
I started the pillowcase excited about the verigated thread. I like it, but I think I like solid colors better than this specific thread. The dark part is almost black.
I would [...]
My E-Interview with Made by Railyuh
Posted in Featured Etsy Sellers, Networking, Oregon, Photography, tagged black and white, Coast, Etsy, Eugene, Featured Seller, Love, Oregon, Photography, pictures, Work on January 21, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Railyuh’s work took my breath away when I came across it while I was chatting away on the forums. The photos I love most were the pictures of the Oregon coast. While, I live in Oregon, I am now several hours away from the lovely ocean, much further than I used to be in Eugene. It was interesting to [...]
Featuring Other Etsy Sellers
Posted in Etsy, Marketing, Networking, Websites, tagged blogging, Connections, Etsy, Networking, Seller, selling on January 21, 2008 | 1 Comment »
As I’ve been reading other people’s blogs, I’ve noticed a certain trend to feature another Etsy’s seller in your blog. This really makes sense as I find new Etsy sellers all of the time who have great things to buy and just to look at sometimes. Since I can’t honor their art by purchasing everything [...]
