Welcome to another Etsy Feature. I try to publish these on my blog once a week. Usually they show up on Saturday or Sunday. This week you will be reading about an artist that makes jewelry out of Scrabble tiles. Her work is really cute. Her real name is Tammy. But I love her Etsy name–Giggling Goldfish.
I am doing great today, thanks for asking I wanted to ask you how you thought to start turning scrabble tiles into jewelry? I have been creating with scrabble tiles for quite a while now. I started using them when I couldnt play the scrabble game anymore because my daughter would always lose the pieces Since I don’t like anything to go to waste I played around with them and came up with some jewelry pieces and accessories that I sold here locally. My oldest daughter introduced me to Etsy back in November of last year and have been completely hooked ever since. Do you buy the tins new or are they recycled? I ask because I have a giant small tin collection that I am thinking of using to make products for Etsy. I buy the tins in bulk. I really like your designs. Do you have a background in design? I don’t have a background in design but come from a family of artists and crafters and have been creating ever since I can remember. I am having a serious love affair with paper right now. I have always loved paper, but the new ones that have come on the market are just gorgeous! What is your favorite item for sale from your shop? I think my favorite items from my shop are my “Little Black Bird” pendants and my new double scrabble tile necklace. |
