Introduce yourself

[#1]

Whether you have been part of the Etsy Denver team for two+ years or two minutes introduce yourself in this thread. We hope you scan the intros often to find collaboration opportunities on projects, promote each other and buy from each other to boost local small business first. Keep it pithy, even linking to outside about pages for more info. Good luck and use #EtsyDenver out there on social media!

Hi!

New to Etsy, but not new to Colorado! I design modern, industrial chic jewelry with my partner who has been machining alternative metals for use on motorcycles and cars for years. We hope to branch out into other types of jewelry, but the rings are keeping us busy for now. Please come visit and give me pointers if you want! I will be looking at everyone's shops and pages over the next few days.

Happy to be here!

Best, Olesia

Hello to everyone!
I'm one of those "joined in the last two minutes" girls and wanted to introduce myself and my shop. I'm seriously new to Etsy - maybe 2 weeks - and really have no idea what I'm doing almost on a daily basis! I make and sell hand made jewelry (yes, I know - so do a million others!) but will be expanding if I figure this whole Etsy thing out! I could spend hours upon hours on Etsy just checking out what other artisans are making and am continually amazed by the amount of talent out there! Quite overwelming and humbling to think I could possibly be a part of this group! I hope to glean knowledge from this team and try to add my support any way I can!

Hi I'm William, maker of all its own. My passion is to restore and re-imagin objects to create new goods. All its own shop takes inspiration from the natural and the spiritual word, offering goods that inspire others in turn. All of the objects in my shop (aside from some fixings and hardware) are found or recycled in order to give new value when it may have been missing.

Hi everyone! I'm Julie, I started my boutique a few months after I decided to be a stay at home mom and quit my job that accounted for about 30-40% of our household income. I needed a hobby and sewing is a new passion for me. I started with a few applique onesies and now I am planning for more and more to come! I am excited with the way Etsy has opened my shop up to so many people around the states and look forward to growing in the future to something bigger and better!

Hello!

I'm a fine art photographer. I've been shooting for about 5 years now. I primarily shoot close up/macro botanical photographs. I was born in Colorado, but raised in Michigan. I moved back to the Denver area almost three years ago and have loved it!

I started my Etsy shop a few months ago, but I just started getting serious about it in the last few weeks. Right now I sell prints 11x14 and smaller, but am looking to expand to larger prints as well as canvas wraps once I work out shipping details. I've also just started doing art and craft shows.

I'd love it if you all would take a look at my shop or like me on Facebook:

Hi all,
About a year ago I started making herbal skincare with 4 other women out of Loveland, CO. We are SO excited to be off the ground and growing after a year of fine tuning ingredients, and learing all about branding, marketing and advertising. We are looking for markets to participate in. Anything to do with... holistic, healing, skincare, yoga, active lifestyle ect. If you have any ideas or know of any shows that sound like a good fit we are open to suggestion. Excited to meet new people and discover fabulous new etsy shops. Check us out!

Hello! I believe I haven't introduced myself yet so here it goes!

My name is Ana and I am multi-medium crafter, although my Etsy store mainly features items made of paper.

I am originally from Portugal but I've been in the US for 2 years now. Specifically I've lived in Colorado Springs.

I had a small business with my sister in Portugal and since I've moved I had to rethink my crafting. That is how My Paper Paradise was born.

I've been trying to get it out there by taking part in craft shows and by opening an Etsy store.

This is my facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/herpaperparadise

Nice to meet all of my crafting neighbors. Please have a look in my store.... there might be something in there for you. And if there isn't, I can make you something completely custom!

Hi Everyone! I just joined the team. I am a graphic designer during the day and PT crafter. I create and design (beaded) jewelry and wearable art. I do like to dabble in a little bit of everything though. Nice to meet everyone here!

Hello!

I also just joined the team! I would love to collaborate with other local artists, and my handmade books can be made using almost anything as cover material. Right now I use wood, fabric, and specialty paper covers, and have dabbled in wood burning a little, but am hoping to more in my work soon.

If you have any ideas and are interested in a collaboration let me know! I also love making jewelry, maybe all the jewelry makers could have a meetup/bead swap sometime!

I'm also on instagram: https://instagram.com/brokencompasstrading/

Hello, we've had an Etsy presence since 2011, but only really began to actively manage it in April of this year. We've had great success with the site since and are excited about our future growth potential here. We're up in the mountains, but have been active in Denver events on and off for quite a while.

Hello, my shop opened just two weeks ago and i'm new to this team. I've lived in Denver and surrounding area for about 17 yrs now and just love to see all the wonderful creative types from our area on Etsy!

I've always been an artist (mainly drawings and oil paintings) and throughout the years I would draw a one-of-a-kind, special occasion cards for friends and family members. I decided this year to take it to the next level and open a shop on Etsy to sell my hand-drawn illustrations and cards.

So far it's been very exciting and rewarding to put my work out in the world. I'm learning a lot by reading other's posts and suggestions and am being a sponge right now with all this awesome knowledge floating around online! I'm also currently trying to learn the art of balancing the admin/social media side of the business, with the creative "just sit and draw" part. So far this week most of my time has been spent on the former.

Either way i'm enjoying this creative journey and looking forward to getting to everyone in this creative community a little better!

Cheers,
Angela
