Art Smiles from Everywhere - Dreams from EBSQ Tender Artists

Red Moon Stars Magic Mirror - Sold


It's gloomy here...but, the colors of Fall are starting to surround us in San Francisco. They lend themselves perfectly to warm nights snuggled up creating, borrowing the Season's colors and overwhelming feeling of change.

Marie Mella, a fabulous artist and wonderful human being, from atelier marie mella - original and unique oil paintings created a lovely Etsy Treasury. It was a pleasure to see my Gemstone Jewelry Collection included! You can click on the image below to view until Tuesday, November 25th.


Thank You!

July WWAO Exhibit - Our Favorite Works

July 08 Worldwide Women Artist Show !
Graciously hosted by Noelle Hunt!

Just click on the artists to view their sites and their fabulous work!


Big sloppy kisses to Noelle Hunt for hosting this exhibit!


Internationally-known Canadian artist Noelle Hunt works in a studio full of her muses collectible pieces of vintage kitsch. Her work, under the name WickedDollz, has been featured in magazines and celebrity homes around the world.

Noelle's early work, revolving around disturbing representations of the female form, echoed a tragic eating disorder that nearly took her life. Her recent work, however, is inspired by lighter, nostalgic things, like Big Eyed Dolls and Mattel's Liddle Kiddles, as well as newer dolls like Pullips, and Takara Blythe. Now, with tongue set firmly in cheek, she continues to express her own brand of humor and exorcise the demons.

Customer Care Counts

It's a lost art. In a world where people relate to each other through computer screens and never see someone's facial expressions or hear someone's vocal tones, relationships can be confusing and awkward. Customer care gets thrown out the window far too often which can create a frustrating experience that turns people off...but not before they tell fifty of their friends!

I was lucky enough to create my own Etsy Treasury recently and dedicate it to some of the talented artists that I've had the absolute pleasure to meet and deal with. You can view by clicking below until Friday, May 30th.


Just in case you miss this treasury,
you can view each artist at their Etsy shops!

Katrin Lerman Jewelry - Woven Treasures
Welcome to my store!
All of my pieces are entirely hand made by me using sterling silver wire and high quality genuine gemstones. First, I create the desired shape/shell for a piece out of thick sterling silver wire. Then I string on the gemstones and wrap the entire piece with feet upon feet of thin sterling silver wire to give it a finished look. I add tiny sterling silver beads to the frame during wrapping to give it more dimension.

74) purrfectlydevine

Handmade Beaded Jewelry - Something for Everyone
I am relatively new to beading and I love taking classes to learn new techniques. I began selling because co-workers liked my work and asked if I would sell to them. I opened a shop because people I didn't know would comment about how much they liked my jewelry. Friends encouraged me and helped me get set up and my husband is supportive of my efforts.

She would feel lost if she wasn't able to be creative. Jonquil's favorite medium is ... well ... It's hard to pick a favorite. She likes jewelry, and is considering opening a knitting store as well. Her main priority is her family. Etsy has become a valuable method of continuing with her art and still being able to love and take care of her family.

Make Every Day Your Lucky Day
In the spring of 2001 I was overwhelmed by sadness and huge piles of clutter. My marriage was in the midst of a very ugly ending, and he had left tons of his stuff behind. I suddenly realized that I was a very lucky girl to be rid of him, and Lucky Girl Trading Company was born. I've also discovered working with glass--one of my all-time favorite creative outlets. I truly am a Lucky Girl! Every day I gather pretty, sparkly things and send them to people. I imagine a person opening their mail and taking out their new pendant or chain or pouch. It's perfect--they have a huge smile on their face--and so do I. I'd love for that person to be you!

77) littlebrownbird (Mary)
http://littlebrownbird.etsy.com
http://thelittlebrownbird.blogspot.com
Welcome to Little Brown Bird!! Hancrafted jewelry using sterling silver, .999 Fine Silver, semiprecious stones, lampwork glass beads, and Japanese Chiyogami paper. Bracelets, Earrings, and pendant necklaces in every style. Still, my love for all things shiny keeps me happily engrossed in jewelry design. Every piece created is a product of a restless imagination. I prefer to use semiprecious stones or interesting glass beads in my work and love to pair them with sterling and .999 Fine Silver, yet I will not overlook the aesthetic value of a beautiful bead or found object simply because it is a base metal. My style is ever changing and evolving. As a result, you will find a little bit of everything in my work. I don't believe in stifling my creative energy and will try my hand at just about anything.

78) gilbea
http://www.gilbea.etsy.com
http://gilbea.blogspot.com
Welcome! I hope you enjoy this silky universe :) I am a silk painter. Lately I have been trying to experiment and make all kinds of different stuff with this fabric. For a few years I have been seriously working on silk fabrics, making all kind of different stuff, from silk paintings that hang from the walls to silk scarves or brooches and t-shirts.

79) Belladio
http://belladio.etsy.com
http://belladio.blogspot.com
I make jewelry. Right now, my passion is wirewrapped jewelry. I do make some of my own beads out of polymer clay. I have been working on a new line of broken china jewelry. I am a Jill of many trades, not a master in any of them. I started beading about 7 years ago. A friend and I thought it would be a fun hobby to do when we met up for play dates. I eventually decided that I needed to expand my horizons and started playing with polymer clay. Teaching myself from books and tuts on the internet. I took one workshop on PMC and loved it. I became interested in wire work techniques on day when I came across Eni Oken's website. I was blown away with her work and new that I had to try this out. I am a long way from being in her class, but I am having a lot of fun trying. As far as broken china jewelry, this is something that pulls at my heart strings. My Nana loved china and had a beautiful teapot and teacup collection. So, to me, when I work on these pieces I have a bit of her with me. I know that sounds a bit mushy, but, hey, I am a hopeless romantic and a grandma's girl.

Vanessa Kimball, Sincerely Yours.
I'm a graphic designer creating greeting cards and shop banners and avatars. I'm glued to my computer. I wonder if there's such thing as a design addiction. If you need any custom work done please contact me. I'd be happy to work with you.

I have been crafting for as long as I can remember. I am self-taught and have enjoyed painting, needlework, quilting, polymer clay and jewelry making.

51) DreamON
http://DreamON.etsy.com
http://DreamsAboutArt.blogspot.com
Thanks for looking! I hope you enjoy my shop. Daydreaming welcomed.
I always loved to cut, paste, paint and draw from my earliest memories. I value the presence of a recognizable subject in my paintings. I love it when the center of interest appears in the midst of background objects that aren’t so well-defined. I want watercolor to look like watercolor, and I want my paintings to have a painterly look, not a photographic copy. Therefore I am an impressionist, because I don’t want to over-control the media.

52) Catldy99 (Cat’s Paw Artifacts-Judy Richards)
http://catldy99.etsy.com
http://www.catldy99.wordpress.com
Judy Richards resides in Portland, Oregon - and makes lampwork beads and designs jewelry - unique and hopefully artful jewelry. She is always striving for new ideas, new shapes in glass. Judy is inspired by nature (flowers, birds) depicted in glass. She loves abstract lampwork most of all with layers of glass and complexity. She is always striving to that goal. Judy likes to laugh and make others smile with her work.

QuirkynBerkeley Handcrafted Cards International.
Welcome to my handcrafted cards shop. I love papercrafts, and the process of making things by hand -- no computer. I started making cards for friends several years ago, who encouraged me to sell them, too. Almost all of my cards are one of a kind. I use recycled shipping materials whenever possible. Love paper. Love color. Love Berkeley. Love Etsy. Beyond that, my style is eclectic and I love to experiment. I get completely absorbed in engineering my varied creations for hours. Each one is a new and unique production, made of treasures from my collection of paper and ephemera, transfigured into a single piece held together by a little glue, a lot of ideas, practice and work, and most of all, a great amount of joy.
