Ceramic Art Deco



OK, a lot of people are involved in ceramic art... but I find this artist unique! The main thing is the genuine details: dgordon applies pieces of treebark, textiles, laces and other items on the clay when it is still flexible. The result is those fine details all over the objects, making each piece unique. I like the colors she uses very much, pastel tones are so sweet and cute! What? Pastels are not your favorite? Oh, no problem there, she can take custom orders, in whatever colors you prefer. You got to check her sold section too...

Note: I will try to post more often, I have so many shops to feature, I don't know where to start from!!

The Monsters are coming!



Be careful!!! The pinheads are searching for you, they want to live on your walls!!
dancesippydance paints on canvas, with a style that is so simple and yet, so unique and expressive. Very original work, with a subtle humourous mood. I especially like the way paint fades off over the canvas, the result is very stylish.

Although it is monsters that s/he paints, I am not scared at all: I just.. love them!!

OOOOH: Important note (for me!): I have a showcase entry!!

CCA - Colorful Clay Art!!



One of the first artists I found in etsy soon after I joined was jennifermorrisbeads. I had never seen something like this before and I could not guess what those impressive earrings were made of. Well, she uses painted clay, but with a method so unique that each item looks like a lux precious stone! (In fact it is, as she combines gold in there!)

Her photos are so clear and professional and really give a feeling of great quality. It is amazing how much work goes into these earrings -- check out the details, everything is handmade, piece by piece! Also, her profile has very useful information if you are curious about her crafting method.

Beautiful Lampwork



There are tons of beads around, pretty and colorful -- but most of them are industrially manufactured and resold everywhere. Imagine my satisfaction when I found marylockwood's shop at etsy!! She is a lampwork master; her designs are so delicate and beautiful, I keep staring and staring them...
Such quality handmade work will not go unnoticed, I am sure. Just include these beads in your bracelets, necklaces, whatever, and all eyes will be fixed on you. Colors and designs that no-one else will ever have!

Oh, check her mushroom too in my favorites at the ride sidebar...

Blogged Treasury !?!?!



Imagine this!! Someone from etsy, a user named ZoZo, just took all the etsy sellers I have featured so far, picked one item from their shop and combined them in a Treasury!! What nerve!! And she named her treasury with my blog's name as well! Right in my face!!

How should I respond to this challenge??

Buried Treasures!


Fusion is a well-known art, but SarasTextureCrafts gives a fresh touch to it. Her items are so detailed and pretty. She has well-crafted pendants and a sense of romance comes from every piece. Just delve into her etsy shop and you will find all of them, together with original fabric pins, reminiscent of classic fashion and surely fitting for the new fashion trends of next Fall.

I can't understand why some shops as good as this one are buried and have not even a single sale...

Wedding Photos Album



I am so excited! Bibliostyle custom-made this perfect album for me! She was kind enough to ask what colors and charm I prefer, and in this way let me take part in the making! I can't wait to have it in my hands: I will fill it with my wedding photos. I've been waiting for almost 2 years to find the proper album for them, and now i am SO happy :))

And it matches the style of my wedding's decorations, check out the photos.

Digital Art


Well... may not be exactly "handmade" but digital art is amazing!! I found some nice artists in etsy, offering prints of their digital artwork; Mizzdraconia has a great selection of prints, all inspired by fantasy setting and heroines. Check her shop out, and get immersed in a world of amazons, mermaids, pirates, and epic fantasy! She uses a digital tablet to make her beautiful strokes and compose the image.
My husband also makes 3d graphics for hobby, and maintains a deviantArt and Renderosity page.

Hit the Lights!!



Well, the switches on the walls were always so dull... could not tamper a lot with them, they were only grey or white. And then, mosaico's shop was found in the vast sea of etsy-sellers... she works wonders with polymer clay, very original designs for switch plates.
Now I can't stop turning the lights on and off, on and off, on and off... everything is blinking!!!

Focus in Wood


Browsing through etsy shops, I came across ParadiseHillDesigns' shop, with excellent woodworks. There are stylish boxes for your jewelry, beautiful pendants and even a candle holder! Her work seems like traditional crafting, full of quality.

Paint it black & yellow & green & red & ...


OK, for my marriage I spent whole days looking for the right goblet for the wine of the ceremony... too bad I had not known about etsy and CreativeSpirit's shop. She makes wonderful hand-painted glassware, you can find vases, plates, glasses, holders, beads and some jewelry. Her style is very beautiful, and, just like me, she seems to love flowers!!

Bangles!

I love the group by this name! But look what I found in an etsy shop...
Located in barcelona, katsai's shop follows the trend of current fashion and gives us some alternative bangles, to make yourself stand out from the masses!


What I like most in these bangles is the perfect application of "less is more!" Uniform color with delicate details combine into an impressive accessory. What do you think??

Beauty Achieved!

I will try to only list items that have great photographs, clear, detailed and full with beautiful colors. This hand-made soap by daisycakessoap fulfills my criteria! Look how pink and blue stand ou t in this photo, and how good the framing is. You can almost smell the soap!

Check her shop at etsy for more great stuff, like mint chocolate, kahlua balmand myhrr soaps!

So, if you got something handmade and like to see it featured, send it this way.

My main source of finding new artists is etsy.com, a site devoted to handmade items. Many great artists and sellers there, in a friendly community. Check it out for cool flash scripts as well!
