Etsy Treasury 3-19-07



Unfortunately, I'm terribly behind in doing this, but I'm going to catch up as soon as I finish editing and cropping the screenshots I captured. I've discovered the joys of Treasuries on Etsy, and I thought a good way to give the artists I choose a little bit of extra promotion would be to save a screenshot of the Treasury and post links to their shop and item here. So... here is the first that I captured. This is actually a Treasury in which I was featured, so I thought I would give a shout-out and link to these artists and the Treasury curator as well.

RightAsRainCreations - the Treasury curator. She makes lotion and cards.
dylonwhyte - makes gorgeous chainmaille jewelry.
castleman - makes lovely yarn and things made from yarn (scarves, etc.)
SarahsSky - makes mosaics, stained glass, and other beautiful glass items
potteryintheround - makes felted pottery items, meaning the item is knitted and felted, not actually made of ceramic (so cool!)
muchachak - makes pouches, bags, clutches, hair clips, etc.
brokenhallelujah - crochets cute Mary Jane slippers, totes, etc.
ArtByTR - specializes in light switch covers (cooler than it sounds!), but also sells metal art, journals, etc.
The next item is mine, if you're following my pattern here. Mine is the pearl and kyanite necklace, in the middle second row from the bottom.
JMNPOTTERY - makes ceramic stuff - bowls, tea pots, etc. - I've been coveting several items in her store for weeks now!
boygirlparty - makes cool clothes and sometimes paper items
rufflebuttpanties - makes ruffly bags/purses
lesastuff - makes gorgeous wooden jewelry, some purses/bags, hats, etc.

Go check out these stores! There is so much cool stuff on Etsy you could never find it all, but I think checking out the Treasury is a great way to start. Let me know if you find something you love, because I'd be thrilled to know I'd helped out a fellow artist.

New ACEOs

I've just listed a few new ACEOs on Etsy.

This one is Stripes I, the first in my Stripes series. The paint is metallic, which is why the photo looks so funny. It's $5, and you can see more information and purchase it here.

This one is Minima II, the second in the Minima series. The first was sold pretty quickly, and the third I traded last week. The ink is actually a very dark purple India ink, not black. It's $4, and you can see more information and purchase it here.

This one is Color Wash VIII, the eighth in the Color Wash series. The paint is a wash of metallic gold acrylic, which has black India ink over it. It's $5, and you can see more information and purchase it here.
