My Interview with PicklesCabinet

Hello everyone! Today I am going to share my interview with the owner of ychyfi and PicklesCabinet you should definitely check them out!


-Tell us a little bit about yourself

Hi! My name is Lindsey, I'm 26 and I live in Swansea, South Wales. I love tattoos, rockabilly, quirky things and cats!

-What do you sell on Etsy?

My store has two sections; Pickle's Pictures and Pickle's Jewels. Pictures houses my illustration work; offering portraits of people and their pets. I'm hoping to add more work to this section over the coming months, and I'd also like to start selling postcards and prints. Pickle's Jewels houses my real passion; handmade beaded jewellery. I love finding unusual glass beads and combining them to create something beautiful.

-Tell us about the item you want to showcase

The item I would like to share is my Venetian inspired necklace. I am completely in love with Italy, and I find Venice particularly enchanting. For me antique Venetian jewellery really captures the unique beauty of the city, and I was inspired to create my own version; with a modern twist.

I like to use glass beads because of the way they catch the light, and the pleasant weight they give to a final piece. For my Venetian necklace I used glass pearls, floral lampwork beads and Venetian wedding cake beads, which are absolutely stunning. I had a blast making this necklace and many more will be appearing in my shop over the next few weeks.


-How did you come to join Etsy?

I'd been following crafter blogs for a long time, and I noticed several mentioned Etsy. I signed up and started frequenting the Etc and Promotions forums, and not long after that I decided to set up my own store. Etsy is a great outlet for artists and crafters to share their work and get their name out in the public domain.

-Where else can we find you?(blog, facebook, twitter, etc)

I can be found on Blogger at http://ldtillustration.blogspot.com and I'm also on Twitter http://twitter.com/#!/LDTillustration
I love hearing from new people, so feel free to come and drop me a comment :)

Etsy Seller Feature - The World Famous

Hello everyone! Today I am going to share with you some words and some items from the etsy shop TheWorldFamous.

"Hi! I'm Gen. I'm proud that I spell it with a G. ;) I'm 22 years old and can't seem to find a job after I just did 4 years of college. Hopfully, I'll get my subsitute certificate soon so I'll at least be work! And secretly, I want to be a superhero."

    


"My favorite item is either one of these two:

 

multi-green-orange-cream-slouchy-hat
 

rust-and-pink-slouchy-hat"

"I mostly sell crocheted hats and needlefelted jewelry. I'll sell anything as long as I can get a good picture of it!" 

"Find me on

Presenting, Simply Pretty Prints!

Good Afternoon everyone! Today I am going to share with you a great shop called simplyprettyprints. You can get some really cute things at this shop, you should definitely check it out!


"I'm Sarah, and for me, creating is a must! I also love to do things outdoors, eat good food, watch shows or movies that make me think or laugh, hang out with good friends and family, and learn new things"

"Today it is this little “Hello Love” espresso cup :). I had fun carrying the design over from the cup to the saucer. http://www.etsy.com/listing/59204060/hand-painted-espresso-cup-and-saucer"

"Working as a design engineer for about 9 years nurtured my scientific side, but not so much my creative and artistic side. After feeling a little burnt out, I had to find creative outlet, nourish my hobbies, and find some balance. Always wanting to learn something new, I took guitar lessons, painting, dancing, and worked on little craft projects on my own. Eventually it evolved into starting my own etsy shop."

"You can find me blogging at: simplyfunstuff.blogspot.com. There you can get updates on my shop, enter giveaways, and find lots of crafty ideas including some original tutorials. I also tweet under simplyfunstuff."

My Interview with PurpleSheepYarns!

 Hello everyone! Today I am going to share with you my interview with PurpleSheepYarns.

-Tell us a little bit about yourself
I am married, no children. I have been working in yarn crafting since late 2004. I began my passion as a crocheter, then moved on to knitting, and quickly thereafter, I began dabbling in hand dyeing my own yarns. I grew up in Mississippi, but now live in Minnesota. I am also an artist, though I prefer my yarn crafting to my pencils and inks.

-What do you sell on Etsy?
I sell hand painted and hand dyed yarns. Mostly sock yarns, but I also carry worsted weights (though they're harder to keep in stock) and hope to soon include bulky weights as well as blends including alpaca and silk.

-How did you come to join Etsy?
I actually began my adventure on Etsy in October 2007 under another name. Then, I sold hand crocheted dolls and other various crocheted items. Business was decent, but my heart wasn't in it, so I closed down the shop. However, I continued to have a passion for yarn craft. So, I decided to reopen business on Etsy this year, selling my hand dyed yarns instead. I feel this is a better direction for me.


-Where else can we find you?(blog, facebook, twitter, etc)
I have a fan page set up on Facebook here: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Purple-Sheep-Yarns/157181280979847

Interview with AllureByU

 Hey everyone! Today I am going to share with you my interview with AllureByU


-Tell us a little bit about yourself

My name is Sue and I am from Singapore, a little beautiful island in South East Asia. I have a belief. Life is short. Live to your fullest. If you have a dream, live it and make it happen. I hope my belief will also extend to my jewelry creations.

Everyone starts off differently! I got started in the designing business by accident. I got inspired by all the other crafters and artists while shopping and browsing through the internet. When I saw their creations on their websites and in their shops, I thought to myself how beautiful their creations are and how nice if I could create some of these myself. That train of thought ended with the determination to make my own beautiful creations!

I stumbled upon Etsy by accident to begin with, but ended up being the best accident because AllureByU was born!

-What do you sell on Etsy?

Unique modern and vintage style nature inspired handmade jewelry.

-Where would you like your shop to be in 5 years?

Hopefully it will be a successful shop on Etsy and other sites and for my shop to continue to promote my passion for handmade jewelry.

-Where else can we find you?(blog, facebook, twitter, etc)
