Featured Artist - Meribella

2010-04-26T10:50:00.002-04:00

Who are you? A Mom, A wife, and and artist at heart. I live and breathe to be as creative as possible!

What is your Etsy Shop Name/link? http://www.etsy.com/shop/meribella

How did you come up with your shop name? My name is Meridith, but my older sister (who is a self supporting artist) used to call me Meribella......My first born daughter is Isabel but we call her Bella, so the name hit me as perfect...our two names together.

What do you create? Do you create for children or adults, women or men? I create one of a kind sterling silver jewelry. I love to work in sculpture, of children and people. It all started when I was trying to find a jewelry piece representing my children, and all I came across was mass produced, non original pieces.

Most of my work is bought my women and moms, but have had several pieces bought for kids.

What do you like about Etsy? The ease of loading a product at a low cost, and the ability to reach a mass market without leaving your home.

Where do you find inspiration for your products? My children!

What do you love about your business? The satisfaction of being creative and also making money at it.

What is your favorite product(s) right now? My sterling silver mermaid pendant:

What makes you unique at Etsy? I have not found any artist out on Etsy, that make anything close to the wearable people sculptures I do. It is a new twist on the "Mother" jewelry.

What are some other sites to find out more about you and what you love to create?

Who are you? We are Melissa and Sarah from MS. Jewelry Design

What is your Etsy Shop Name/link? Our shop is MS. Jewelry Design http://www.msjewelrydesign.etsy.com

How did you come up with your shop name? We took the first letters from our names to make the MS. and then add jewelry design since this is what we specialize in.

What do you create? Do you create for children or adults, women or men? We create jewelry using silver, swarovksi crystals, glass beads, and more. Our creations are for women, but they can be made smaller for girls. We specialize in creating jewelry for weddings, proms, and other special occasions.

What do you like about Etsy? We love meeting new people and getting our jewelry out to people around the world. We also love meeting other talented crafters especially from NJ.

Where do you find inspiration for your products? We take inspiration from the beautiful colors of swarovski crystal and the needs of brides, bridesmaids, friends, and family.

What do you love about your business? We love that we can work together as cousins/best friends and put our talent together to make beautiful jewelry.

What is your favorite product(s) right now? We love the aqua dreams bracelet. It reminds us of the beach.

What makes you unique at Etsy? Our designs are different from what we have seen at other shops on Etsy. We make our jewelry affordable for our customers and offer discounts for bridal party orders. We also will make custom designed jewelry based on what the customer is looking for.

What are some other sites to find out more about you and what you love to create?

2010-03-08T09:18:00.004-05:00

Who are you? My name is Carrie A. Cahill.

What is your Etsy Shop Name/link? Fabled Charm Designs - http://fabledcharmdesigns.etsy.com

How did you come up with your shop name? I love fairy tales and use a lot of whimsical designs in my work, so I played around with different words that fit into that motif. I finally decided that the name I chose had a certain ring to it.

What do you create? Do you create for children or adults, women or men? I make handmade jewelry as well as handbags and pouches for gadgets. Mostly my designs are for women, though my gadget pouches could certainly be used by a man. The designs tend to be kind of feminine though.

What do you like about Etsy? The community and ease of use.

Where do you find inspiration for your products? My biggest inspirations are from nature and also from old artwork, especially art nouveau and fairy tale illustrations.

What do you love about your business? Making the product. I love to create things and experimenting with different medias.

What is your favorite product(s) right now? My green wool purse

What makes you unique at Etsy? I use a lot of different styles and color combinations because I can't seem to stick to one style. In local boutiques, this seems to give me an advantage, but on etsy, sometimes it's a disadvantage because I seem to lack a very specific style.

What are some other sites to find out more about you and what you love to create?

Featured Artist - Raspberry Crochet

2010-03-01T13:35:00.004-05:00

Who are you? Christine Lowe

What is your Etsy Shop Name/link? RaspberryCrochet - http://raspberrycrochet.etsy.com

How did you come up with your shop name? After going through and discarding many names, I heard the song “Raspberry Beret” by Prince on the radio and that made the decision for me.

What do you create? Do you create for children or adults, women or men? I create scarves and hats for now for men, women and children. Soon, I plan on creating afghans.

Where do you find inspiration for your products? My inspiration is color and texture. I love the bulky and super bulky yarns for their “heft” and their feel. The medium weight yarns also offer lots of variety in color and patterns that encourage me to create. I see colors that I like and want to put together and eventually it becomes a scarf or a hat!

What do you love about your business? I love the fact that I can take a project anywhere.

Featured Artist - Mommy's Dream Creations

2010-02-22T10:00:00.003-05:00

Who are you? Cindy Wilson, wife and homeschooling mother of one.

What is your Etsy Shop Name/link? Mommy's Dream Creations - http://www.etsy.com/shop/mommysdream

How did you come up with your shop name? Actually, my husband did! We were just throwing out possible names and he mentioned that having my own business has always been a dream of mine and that I am creative. And I was looking for a way to have additional income without having to give up homeschooling, so the name just made sense all the way around. I love the fact that it makes people smile when they see it!

What do you create? Do you create for children or adults, women or men? My items are mostly for adults. The glassware designs appeal to women, but I do try to offer designs that men aren't embarrassed to use as well! My ornaments aren't kid-friendly, being glass, but some of the designs catch a child's eye as they pass buy my table at craft shows.

What do you like about Etsy? I really like the community atmosphere and the fact that so many talented artists can be found in one place. While everyone is competitive for sales (grin), there is a genuine camaraderie and helpfulness that is so nice to experience in a business setting, especially just getting started.

Where do you find inspiration for your products? I find inspiration all over the place! Some of my snowmen designs are from pictures from when my daughter was younger and just being silly! I also love the woods and sea, so those two elements make the basis of most of my glassware designs. I really try to think about how my designs can fit in with various decorating styles, especially with people being careful about spending on "non-essentials."

What do you love about your business? I love the fact that it has become a "family affair." All three of us have a part to play in this business and we do the craft shows together. It's been a great way to help teach my daughter about working through to the end of something, even if it's not fun all the time.
I also love the fact that I can be creative and other people can enjoy it! Knowing that many times people are not buying for themselves but as a gift for someone else, really makes my day. It's nice to have a positive impact in other people's lives.

What is your favorite product(s) right now? My favorite glassware item would have to be my Sand Dollar Snowman glasses. I love painting snowmen and had originally painted a snowman on a beach as something fun and a design for the summer. My husband was joking around and said that a snowman would melt on a beach, so I had to scrap the design. The next day he came downstairs to see a sand dollar snowman on the beach and it has become one of my most popular designs.

My favorite new item is my butterfly glasses. It's a new type of paint for me--it's like looking through a suncatcher when you're done!

What makes you unique at Etsy? There are a lot of really talented artists at Etsy. My work stands out because it doesn't look like anyone else out there. My designs are simple enough to go with many different design styles and table settings, but bold enough that they don't get lost on the table!

What other street teams are you a member of?
I am also a member of SHE Team (Schooling at Home Etsians) and CAST Team (Christian Artist Street Team)

Featured Artist - Cut.Your.Heart.Out

2010-02-15T11:16:00.000-05:00

Who are you? My name is Jessica and I currently reside in Burlington Township with my rambunctious 2 year old son, husband and two dogs.

What is your Etsy Shop Name/link?
Cut.Your.Heart.Out - http://www.etsy.com/shop/cutyourheartout

How did you come up with your shop name? It spawned from a comment one of my friends made about my interaction with guys. I was pretty non-commital back in the day and for some reason always got involved with boys who wanted a relationship. My friend commented that I cut boys hearts out and stomped on them.

What do you create? Do you create for children or adults, women or men? I create jewelry, art and home decor. I'm in the process of coming up with a line of clothing and accessories for children.

What do you like about Etsy? The handmade goodness!

Where do you find inspiration for your products? There's not one specific source of inspiration. Just whatever strikes me. Found objects, finding a cool pendant at a store.. the inspiration just hits randomly.

What do you love about your business? It fills the need I have to create. It's my creative outlet for sure.

What is your favorite product right now? I love this necklace. I think it's fun!

My Heart Is Rubber and You Are Glue Necklace

What makes you unique at Etsy? I don't know if I'm "unique" but I definitely stand by everything I create. Everything I make is something I would be proud to own.

Featured Artist - Miss Emma's Closet

2010-02-08T08:57:00.002-05:00

Who are you? My name is Alison. I am a 31 yr. old mom of 2 crazy kiddies. My son is almost 9 and the smartest kid I know, reading me books now. My daughter is going to be 4 in Feb. and the strongest most amazing person I have ever met. Not only do I have my Etsy shop, I work weekends as well, and am a mom, that one is first and foremost. You see, being a mom to 2 amazing kids is challenging, being a mom to the only child in the world with her sickness is another. My daughter is one of a kind, with a rare genetic disorder and a humbling seizure disorder, with seizures multiple times daily. I will admit it's not easy, and has it's ups and downs, but in reality has made me the woman I am today.....Mommy, Business woman, Shop owner, with the ability to laugh at myself, change plans at the drop of a hat, and maybe just a bit crazy:)

What is your Etsy Shop Name/link? My shop name is Miss Emma's Closet, named and dedicated to my little love Emma.

How did you come up with your shop name? I named my shop after my daughter, with a shabby chic heirloom sound to it. My designs are ideal for many generations, being trendy, but beautifully created with the highest quality. It's like you looked in grandma's attic or through your baby items and see the quality and the ability to pass them on. Miss Emma's Closet was born.

What do you create? Do you create for children or adults, women or men? I create boutique quality accessories for mommy and baby with high end materials, yet keeping them affordable for everyone. Not only do I have my bib and burp cloths I am working on a line of kiddie clothing including dresses and pinafores, and things for mom as well, diaper bags, purses and zippered pouches.

What do you like about Etsy? I love the networking of Etsy, being able to get my name out there without being pushy. I love having such a creative pool of people together under one "roof", and finding other artisans that create beautiful pieces of art that are just so intricate, it's hard to wrap the mind around, especially when I find a painter or someone that works with jewelry, those are mediums I shy away from, so I find them so fascinating.

Where do you find inspiration for your products? I love to just go out on a whim and see what I can find. Love fabric stores!!! Much more so than on-line purchases. I love to feel the fabric and touch it. Make sure it's luxurious and has the hand and quality that I want to create my designs. I may even find a vintage table cloth and next thing you know it's an apron. My shop has just a small sampling of the designs I come up with.

What do you love about your business? The creative outlet. When you spend as much time in hospitals, doctor's offices and home schooling as I do, any release is good. I have even been known to bring my craft with me for a stint in the hospital. I also love the fact that I can create something and package it up beautifully and have someone receive it and write me such beautiful words of inspiration and appreciation, for instance:

I got your package today!!!!!! They are sooo sooo cute..can't wait till the baby comes and I can use them. I will definately be ordering more and using the coupon..thank you very much for that. I was very impressed with the presentation of everything...the invoice...products...little Christmas card. Very thoughtfull...you are running a very good business:)

It makes it all worth it.

What is your favorite product(s) right now? LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the fabric and it's the perfect size for tummy time, nap time, car seats and strollers comes complete with a toy link.
Play Time Nap Time Floor Matt or Blanket Perfect Size to Tuck into Strollers or Car Seats

What makes you unique at Etsy? I would like to think that I use unique fabrics and materials to make high end high quality accessories at affordable prices. I let my travels denote my creations. I let my designs speak for themselves and strive for quality and make things that I actually use and want to use on my own kids and for myself. When I am out and someone asks me, "Where did I get that?" I want to confidently answer "Well it's one of my designs" with confident.

What are some other sites to find out more about you and what you love to create? 2010's resolutions are to be a part of twitter, start a second blog for just Miss Emma's Closet (my personal blog is www.onemomsstory.blogspot.com it tells the story of Emma), start a Facebook for the business too, and utilize my mobileMe account and start a web page.

Who are you? Beccijo

What is your Etsy Shop Name/link? http://www.theenchantedcupboard.etsy.com

How did you come up with your shop name? It took a long time. I tried out many things to get the feel that I wanted. Something magical, enchanting and that would have many things in it. When it was right, it felt right! Many reviews have said that the name was right for my shop. It also makes me giggle when people call me enchanted in the forums and for a busy mom a good giggle can make or brake your day!

What do you create? Do you create for children or adults, women or men? I create wooden toys, playsets, playboxes and cake toppers. My items are for any age but most are for the 3 to 103 range. Many adults buy my thing as decorations!

What do you like about Etsy? I love the team aspect. I love all the changes that are happening and I am excited to see what is next. BUT there is nothing like an inbox full of etsy sale notices!

Where do you find inspiration for your products? My childhood and my kids. I love to watch my kids play, to see how they use he different items. The other day my daughter was playing with the Mermaids and asked where the daddy was, I had not thought of it but now I need to make one!

What do you love about your business? I love that it is a part of me that I get to share with the world. This past holiday season my toys went all over the world. I could not sleep Christmas Eve cause I was too excited about all the kids opening my toys and finding my treasures under their tree.

What is your favorite product(s) right now?
My mushroom stacker

What makes you unique at Etsy? A lot of people sell the wooden dolls, some have started making playsets but I have such a vast amount of fun items. I also keep a lot of the sets without dolls for those that may already have wooden dolls by me or others.

What other street teams are you a member of? I have just been made leader of the NaturalKids Team

What are some other sites to find out more about you and what you love to create?
