Thats Cyd!!! ---> ---> ---> ^

Q:What do you make?

A:Well these days I am mostly making vintage style jewelry which I sell on 3 different online indie sites. I also make tile and glass mosaics, clay sculptures and do watercolor painting. I love creating, I'm addicted to it and I would probably go crazy if I couldn't make stuff. I am mostly a self taught artist, though my Mom did put me in a couple of special art classes when I was very young.

Q: Where do you get your inspiration?

A:Nature, always nature! I seem to always include flowers, plants, birds & bugs in my jewelry as well as in my other types of artwork. I am a complete animal and nature nut, it's very important to me to spend time being outside, for me it's the best way to re-energized myself and at the same time it also allows me to slow down. Lately most of my outdoor time is devoted to my garden, which I dearly love.

Q: What is your favorite piece from your own shop?

A:Not sure I have one, but I l do like my new "Brown Hydrangea necklace" pretty well

Q: If you could buy anything on Etsy, what would it be?
A: Way too many to name, but here is a very cool chair that I would love to have:http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27880826&ref=sr_list_3&&ga_search_query=vintage+chair&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_page=3&order=date_desc&includes[]=tags&includes[]=title

Cyd's Workstation ---->---->---->^

Q: How did you start your creations?
A: When I was a kid I use to make jewelry with my Mom a lot, then about a year and a half ago I started looking for another way to earn a living and I decided to start making jewelry again.

Q: Do you enjoy making it?

A: I love it, absolutely love it! The only thing about it that I don't really like so much is working on the shipping of orders.

Q: Do you have a favorite purchase or two?

A: Again there are so many that I love, but here are a couple. The T-shirt is from "Rainbowswirlz" and the other is an adorable handmade card by "Dingocards"http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=14605974 http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=14532711

~GREENPOST~

here's the interview.....

Q: What do you make?
A: I make eco paper craft; handmade paper products created from 100% recycled content like junk mail, receipts, tags and other "junk" papers.

Q: Where do you get your inspiration?
A: As a native Pacific N.W. girl, I get my inspiration from my love for trees and for the environment. I hope to help create a more sustainable, yet stylish, future for everyone.

Q: What is your favorite piece from your own shop?
A: My favorite piece in my shop is my new Letter J monogrammed card with matching envelope set. I love the colors and the idea has so much potential. I want to make every letter card and many different color combinations.

Q: If you could buy anything on Etsy, what would it be?
A: I would buy a painting from fricdementol, a wallet from chakrapennywhistle, jewelry from meetalls and quercussilver and a skirt from malam.

A: I love making paper! Even though I really just started making paper, I have found that it is a very natural fit for me. I love to get into a zen frame of mind and find my rhythm. I enjoy the simplicity and the versatility of paper. I am also inspired by the process of turning junk into a beautiful, new product that people can use.

Q: Do you have a favorite purchase or two?

LostandFawned

..........INTERVIEW..........

What do you make?

I create LOTS of things! I went to design school and got my hands on lots of different mediums. So I make jewelry, prints (silk screened), felt accessories, stationary and more.

Where do you get your inspiration?

I get a lot of my inspiration from my background in art history. Also from literature (think Romeo and Juliet and Pride and Prejudice). I also sometimes get inspired by a vintage finding or bead and create a piece around it. All my pieces have names and personalities. I imagine the girl who would wear it and what she would be like.

What is your favorite piece from your own shop?

That's tough. Probably my simple Jill Earrings. I love the look of the faceted czech glass and all the colors in comes in. They are so simple you can wear them everyday (I have them in every color myself) or really lovely for a dressy occasion.

If you could buy anything on Etsy, what would it be?

Anything from Twigs & Honey (www.myrakim.etsy.com). I could wear her flowers everyday (I have some). But I LOVE the vases at pretty random objects (www.prettyrandomobjects.etsy.com). They are so creative and cute.

What made you start making your item?

I just feel a need to create. I love making things with my hands.

Do you enjoy making it?

Absolutely! It's great to create things that other people will love and enjoy.

Do you have a favorite purchase or two?

Recently most of my purchases have been for our upcoming wedding. I bought a handmade silk bolero from Bonzie (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=268669490). It's so beautiful in person! Also a lovely clutch in the Yart sale from Yunisacs (http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=16862468). I love the animals in the damask. I will be using it to hold my bridal emergency kit on the wedding day (lipstick, stain stick, tissues, etc).

LostandFawned will be offering free shipping to anyone who puts "Sweetness Jewelry" into the message to seller upon purchase. Shipping cost will be refunded.

JOOM is my featured seller of the week!

The Interview.........

What do you make? I make all kind of stuff such as pillows, tote bags, pouches, stationary and prints.

Where do you get your inspiration? I am inspired by nature and my surrounding, and am especially interested in nature, music, art, and architecture.The idea of using bird and flower came to me one day while I was sitting in my patio taking care of my garden. A hummingbird came to feed on a fuchsia plant, and I closed my eyes and saw the silhouette of the bird and the flower. That image has been a main part of my designs even since.

What is your favorite piece from your own shop? I really like my birdie desk calendar.

If you could buy anything on Etsy, what would it be? I would like to get a Vintage Cherry Bench from sprucehome.

What made you start making your item? I grew up around my father's shoe factory. I think once my parents saw that I loved to draw they encouraged that in me. I’ve always wanted to be an illustrator or a designer. I like using different kind of materials for my work.

Do you have a favorite purchase or two? I love my boston terrier mini pillow that I bought from MODESTO. I have a boston terrier, named seven.

GIVEAWAY TIME! Joom has decided to give one of her mini pillows (any color from her shop) away for this giveaway )! To enter all you have to do is comment here and tell us what is your favorite piece from Joom's shop (http://www.joom.etsy.com/) is!

Cutting Hair For Cancer Patients

2009-06-24T15:55:00.023-04:00

Recently, 28 students (including me) and 8 staff members of my school particapated in what is called "The Ponytail Drive." 72 ponytails worth of hair were donated to the Pantene Beautiful Length Campaign to make wigs for the American Cancer Society. Everyone got cut at least 8 inches off their hair, 9 inches came off my hair! Krista, a girl in my grade, got 15 inches cut off! Can you imagine? A guy in 8th grade even particaped. Unfortunately, my aunt Laura (http://www.creativelytangled.etsy.com/) and my Grandpa was just dignosed with cancer and both eventually going through chemo. Cutting my hair made me feel good inside to know I helped a cancer paitent just like my aunt Laura and my Grandpa. Somehow someway I hope they figure out a cure to cancer because everywhere I look someone has it, and it is depressing.

BROWNBUNNYBYIRIS!!! ^ her gossip girl hat!

Here is the interview.....

Where do you get your inspiration?

I draw inspiration from everything that surrounds me and makes an impression on me. That can be colors, sounds, textures, music, you name it! Then there's the constant wish to change, to surprise, having fun! Of course finding new pieces of vintage fabric or ribbons inspires me a lot. And not to forget all the people who can't wait to see my next creation. That's a thrill for me!!!

What is your favorite piece from your own shop?

Of course I love all my creations! But there is always a favorite hat. Right now it's Up on the floor!

If you could buy anything on Etsy, what would it be?

If I could buy anything on Etsy I would love to buy wonderful vintage clothes, vintage shoes and vintage handbags. I'm also in love with jewelry and see myself buying so many wonderful pieces on Etsy!

What made you start making hats?

I was always fascinated by hats - I remember paging through art and social history books - all these different cultures producing so many interesting designs combining function with lots of....magic! I really think hats are magical things. I started making hats for myself, because I couldn't find the ones I was looking for.

Do you enjoy making hats?

I love making hats. I enjoy every moment of creating a new hat. It really makes me very happy.

Thank you Iris!!! :)

Come on down, Cat from uncorked/polarity, you are the next contestent on the Price is Right! HAHA just kidding! Cat is the featured seller of the week on this blog!

Here is the interview......

Where do you get your inspiration?
I get my inspiration from my inability to throw anything away; my need to hold onto everything in case I need it to become something else. I don't want to build a better mousetrap- I want to build something ELSE with the mousetrap (of course, I wouldn't actually be messing around with a mousetrap, Kelly, because a girl - not to mention a mouse- could get hurt!)

What is your favorite piece from your shop?
My favorite piece from my shop is my See Jane Play recycled magnet board which has never been much appreciated and I think I have only sold one, but reminds me of the books I learned to read with (yes, I am THAT old Kelly). And Jane had a little curly haired sister named Sally and I had a little straight haired sister named Vicki, so we were almost like twins; Jane and I.

If you could buy anything on Etsy, what would it be?
If I could buy anything I wanted on Etsy and, actually I can, because I am very, very rich Kelly- I would buy the Pantheon dog bed for my little pup Olive or maybe not because she already is way too spoiled and needs Caesar, the dog whisperer, to teach her that she is a dog.http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21632536&ref=sr_gallery_5&&ga_search_query=bed&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_page=3&order=price_desc&includes[]=tags&includes[]=title

How did you start crafting?
I am not sure why I started making jewelry because I am not a big jewelry wearer. I have always loved eclectic, unusual jewelry though and have always been drawn to unusual textures and pieces with more natural elements.

Do you enjoy making jewelry?
I love making new things and when I set aside time to just be creative with no expectations on the outcome I am most happy. Sometimes, the repetition of making the same pieces again and again can start to get to me, but then I just think of that amazing Pantheon bed for Olive and I keep on going .....

Where do you get your inspiration?

Color and texture inspire me... I see a great bead or a new textured chaing and immediately I picture a new piece. I can't make something that I don't like. Sometimes I wish that I could because I'd probably be more successful. I feel that since my name is on it, it represents who I am and I want the customer to know that the piece they are getting is a quality piece.

What is your favorite piece of jewelry from your own shop?

Ugh... decisions, decisions... I have an all time favorite and it is the very 1st design I ever made. It is my Simply Elegant Breast Cancer Bracelet. My current fave is my Wrought Sterling Earrings. I love the architectural feel mixed with the softness of the pink. Yummy~

If you could buy anything on Etsy, what would it be?

There are 3 that come to mind immediately... the first is from your Aunt Laura's shop... LauraSlocumPainted.Etsy.com http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21711795 I think that her watercolors are absolutely amazing and this piece is hands down my favorite. The second is from Phydeaux.Etsy.com Brenda makes the most amazing scarves. They are impeccably made and her eye for color is stunning; http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21826076 The third is from KikiHuston.etsy.com she is an amazing artist and her work inspired by New Orleans (my old home) is spectacular... http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18465042

What made you start making jewelry?

Well, almost 6 years ago, I was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, had endured several surgeries and was undergoing chemo. My body was being poisoned but my mind and spirit were as creative as ever! I found that even though I was incredibly weak, I could bead for hours. I'd found a true calling.

Do you enjoy making jewelry?

ABSOLUTELY~ but... I have to be in the mood to do it. If I try to force a design, it looks forced. Some days I sit at my work table just looking at the beads for hours before a new design comes to me and other days my creativity just flows. I love the fact that people really like my creations, that they are well made and that they represent the person that I've become... a survivor...

Just a week ago, I received some lovely soaps in the mail! Cam, from camsoaps, makes smelly, wonderful soaps. My personal favorites are raspberry lemonade and coconut lime.She makes the soaps with essential oils, milk, cocoa butter, scent, and other complex stuff :)
Cam's soaps are very soft on your skin and they smell so awesome. One of my favorite shops on Etsy. Behind the shop is Cam. She is so very smart, nice, and talented too. Cam has a degree in chemistry and lives in California. Every time I talk to her she is working on a new formula for her soap. She is very hardworking. Keep up the good work Cam! You rock! :)
