Etsy Favorites 7-21-11

 I am really excited...
 I got some positive feed back from last  week's post,

Etsy Favorites 

so...
I am going to keep on keeping on.

I hope that by doing this I will promote a buying movement
that I am passionate about.

while giving props to the brave folks who choose to go for it...
 believe in themselves,
share
and put themselves out there.
For me it is more intimate than sex.
Sex fulfills a need
as is being creative.
However...
sharing my work,
putting a part of me out there for others to see...
like, dislike, "favorite", follow, tweet and read,
now that is a horse of another color.

Not that any of the folks that I feature on my blog share any of my intimacy hang ups.
But in the honor of full disclosure,
I am also hoping that by showcasing some of the artists and work I admire
it may light a fire under my arrrss!
Inspire me to add some new, more authentically me... items to my own 

Etsy Shop
like the sunflower gourds...

So, keep your eyes peeled!


Here we go...
some shops that I think are worth checking out!

90 Custom Printed Soft Satin Ribbon Labels

90 Custom Printed Fabric Labels

Jennifers Jewels

Custom Printed Top Quality Labels

A Green Gourd Creation

Jennifer made these for me last year.

And if you do think that this is "creative"...
well, you better think again.
It takes time and vision to put the graphics together to make these labels.
I have worked with computer graphics and I can tell you
it takes a patient person with a creative eye to put it all this together.
She has many styles and fonts to choose from.
She will digitize your logo, pick one of her many prints or you can have her design one for you.

She is a very personable, professional and reliable.
I just ordered some more labels from her, for my daughters cloths.

I plan on getting some of these ribbon labels soon as well.
I know she will be ready for me.

Wheel Thrown Colander

Mountain Mud Babies

Ugggh...

I am so bummed out...

I LOVE this piece!

I just looked at this piece again this morning and see that it sold on Tuesday.

Oh well,

you snooze you loose.

However congratulations to both the buyer and seller.

I would have been almost to afraid to use it because it is so beautiful...

but, I sure would have given it a try.

check out MountainMudBabies shop there is so much to choose from.

Ok,
what can I say about this artist 
that will not have me blubbering and unable to finish this blog today.
I will start by saying...


Shet is probably my biggest hero,
best-friend,
and most importantly my 

Little Sister!  

I can not begin to tell you how absolutely proud of her I am!
She is an amazing person.
She has overcome many obsticles in life and has
rose up singing!

She is ...
