Busy Busy

You may be wondering what happened to me last week, it seems as if I almost disappeared, but I assure you, I am still here.  Last week was super exiting for me, my instant cemetery was featured in the Storque (etsy’s blog) and as the main picture of the article!

There was a wonderful flood of sales and convos and it has been very exciting.  I have been busy cutting out tombstones and deco-podging cans and going to the post office.

I am almost caught up, I’m just waiting for more supplies, they’ll be here tomorrow along with some new fun stuff to try.

I have fabric prewashing now and I am hoping to craft up some household stuff this week and I am also expecting a new crafting book to review and oodles of other things, so I’ll see you later this week!

New Banners, Avatars, and Mature Graphic

I just purchased a set of shop banners and avatar set from studio71designs.

There are three banners: this one, an on vacation, and a is having a sale banner.

There are five avatars: this one, a plain one, one with a C, an away one, and a sale avatar. My old banner and avatar were a bit pixilated and fuzzy around the edges.

Also included with the package was a custom listing/reserved graphic, but I was able to get a "mature" graphic instead.

Jen(studio71designs) did a fabulous job and made everything exactly like I wanted with my choice of font and graphics to match my business cards. I will definately be using her services again!

Poster Sketch Favorites

I been playing with the poster sketch tool again, so here are some more of my favorites. I love this tool!
There are so many talented people and wonderful items available on etsy and I haven't even touched the tip of the iceburg.

First Etsy Purchases

I finally bought some of the things on my favorites list from Etsy!

I bought this Dichroic Fused Glass Pendant from jmtglass all the swirls reminded me of a Gustav Klimt painting.I also bought these ACEO Mini gift cards Sampler Set of Six- Mythological Goddesses from EmilyBalivet's shop. I love to collect art and the ACEOs(art card, editions and originals) are the perfect thing for me. I just bought a lovely frame for collector cards at Micheals.

Right now it's holding some of my favorite Magic the Gathering cards, but I will be making room for my new ACEOs. There is a little plastic case that holds each individual card and then slides into the frame, I may have to buy another one when they go on sale again.

Etsy Poster Sketch Tool

A few weeks ago on the Etsy Forums there was a lot of talk about the new poster sketch tool (the tool is meant to help you see what a treasury might look like). I was busy with other things and decided to bookmark it for later. Today I suddenly remembered it and decided to try it out.

I love this! I have never made a treasury, but I was just happy to see some of my favorites all on the same page. It is very easy to use and it's a great way to show a sampling of my personal favorites. I also just learned how to take a screen shot, yay for me! I see more of these in my future.

Featured Artist - PoPkO

Butterfly Wing Glass Relic Necklace

PoPkO's Shop

When I first found these pendants I was amazed, those are real butterfly wings,(they are collected from a local conservatory after a natural death). There are several different types of wings available and there are also several different sizes and styles of necklaces. If you would like to see more of these amazing pendants look here. PoPkO does take custom and wholesale orders and is fast to respond to convos. You could also visit here blog and sign up for her monthly newsletter(there may be coupons involved).

This is number one on my list of things to buy when I get my tax return back!

Featured Artist - Pattie Tierney Designs

Perry Mason Artisanal Charm Bracelet

Pattie Tierney Designs Shop

I adore Pattie Tierney's jewelry. It's so creative and original. The themes that she chooses are awesome! My favorite piece in her shop is this bracelet. She also has pirates, geishas, Harry Potter, William Shakespeare, Nancy Drew, Sherlock Holmes, and may other interesting pieces. If you're looking for something different this is the shop for you!

Featured Artist - glimmeringprize

Glimmermingprize's Shop

I have been inspired by altered art all week and when I found glimmermingprize's shop on etsy.com I was blown away by her shrines. They are so beautiful and the stories that go along with each item make them even more interesting. She will be adding more shrines this weekend, so check out her store.
