Hello, my name is Jackie. I make homemade soaps and chapsticks at Muddy Duck Soaps. Sergeant Muddywaddles (he's our mascot) has a devoted following around here, but I'm afraid things just aren't getting off the ground on Etsy. Here's one of my best-smelling soaps - https://www.etsy.com/listing/189620268/oats-milk-and-honey-bar-soap-buttermilk?

Thanks for inviting me!

Hi, My Name is Kathy. I make printables, which are downloadable Jpegs of artwork for people to print at home.

Although this shop is only a few days old, I am an experienced seller with my other shop with nearly 1700 sales.

I decided to separate Printables from my regular pack and send artwork, as I was feeling confused! So i thought buyers probably would be too

Hello all... I am very excited to be a part of this group as I have not had a whole lot of extra time to focus on etsy marketing. I am a surface Artist from Australia and work with many mediums to express my multi-faceted creativity. All of my inspirations come from mywild environment of the World Heritage listed, Blue Mountains Region in Australia, where I live and work.


I recently launched my own fashion label, ZOYZ, here in Australia. They are about blending my nature inspired textile designs with my love of bold, quirky statement fashion pieces to create printed leggings. I am currently working on scarves and swimmwear to add to the growing success of ZOYZ. A unique Label that promotes and Honors The Arts in Fashion. The edgy fabric designs originate from my paintings. While they have been relatively successful in Australia, I wanted to join Etsy to generate an international market and feel this was the very best platform to do so...

I choose to keep all printing, manufacturing, textiles, and labelling within Australia to help generate income for local trades. whilst this keeps costs very high, it maintains quality, integrity and economic responsibilities. For this reason I sell only online as I cannot afford to sell wholesale ( I have had many international requests to do so) but as it is, my profit is so minimal.

I have worked on a vast amount of surfaces both for public sale and private commissions such as canvas and leather shoes, skate decks, fiberglass surfboards, resin jewellery, wall murals, handbags, skin, tattoo designs and now textiles.I have been excited to win several textile/fashion design comps in Berlin.
Currently I am working on a picture book, soon to be published and have just completed (today) painting a large fiberglass Koala for The "Hello Koala Project". (http://hellokoalas.com).

I am a self-taught photographer, digital designer and fine artist. I work as a freelance graphic designer and that allows for creativity, but can be a bit somewhat restrictive. Taking photos and creating art is my release. I love architecture, history, antiques and period clothing. Visiting historic places inspires me and, as you can see from my shop, Charleston, SC is one of my favorite places to visit.

I enjoy browsing etsy...there are so many talented people!

One of my favorite photos in my shop:

[SecondSpringNaturals]

So glad to have found this team! My shop partner, Erin, and I are brand new to Etsy, but have worked for some time to build our brand and products. We've been friends for 30 years and we're also teachers in our outside-of-Etsy world:) Our shop name reflects both my background as a literature teacher and also the philosophy of our shop--we're now over 40 (though not by much-ha ha) and have decided to see this next journey of our lives as a second spring. We'd like to share the products that make us feel like our 'best selves' with other women and encourage them to find their own second spring.

How was that for an intro? Too much? I'm wordy. Here's a product sample.

Outside of Etsy I work as a graphic designer. I like the challenging part of my job but I also love having a hobby or outlet outside of my work and came across resin jewellery about a year ago.. I did a workshop & found that I really loved it. So have started to create jewellery & mainly sell at markets around my hometown of Brisbane, Australia. Markets are good fun and great for networking and meeting people..but unfortunately I don't have a lot of time to prepare for them. So, decided to give online selling a go & thought Etsy would be ideal.. So far sales have been a little slow, but I will keep chipping away at it. I really love creating jewellery, so for me a large part of it is about the creation and seeing a piece evolve. My jewellery is bright and fun, and unique..no two pieces of my jewellery will ever look the same..that's the great thing about working with resin. I will be bringing new items to my shop as I make them. I hope to have some groovy earrings in stock in the next month or so, so keep checking back. I hope you enjoy looking around my shop and if there is something that you like but would like a style in a different colour please drop me a line. Sorry I've written so much!

I'm Christine and I love making things out of glass. I started working with stained glass many years ago before learning about glass fusing, and now I'm hooked. Fusing glass is not my day job, but here's hoping one day it will be :).

The jewelry that I sell is all hand-cut by me and kiln-fired in my home studio. I am also experimenting with other glass creations and hope to expand my product line one day.

Here is one of the featured items in my shop:

Hi, my name is Diana. My Etsy store is 4girlsbags. I actually started my Etsy shop with encouragement from family and friends. I grew up with parents in the manufacturing business from the age of 16 I started sewing and producing clothing in may areas of design. After 20 years of working with my parents due to illness they closed shop. After their passing I kept some of there industrial machines in storage for almost 10 years. We took them out and fired them up again. I started making things for my 4 girls :) and after I made them hobo bags for Christmas friends and family all wanted one and that started 4girlsbags. I've been making the bags for just over a year now and have sold over 100 bags to friends at boutiques and now on Etsy. I have may repeat customers and sell the most when people see my bags. They make great personalized gifts and just a great fashion accessory. I just designed a new bag a couple weeks ago and have had great response. Since I have not totally figured out how to market myself on Etsy, I'd love any helpful suggestions. Please visit my shop. @ www.etsy.com/shop/4girlsbags

Hello all,

So happy to be here with all of you!

I am an interdisciplinary artist and conservation technician. Part of my artwork consists of making paper sculpture, and the idea for my jewelry sprang from those explorations.

I look forward to learning more about all of you and viewing your work!
Best,
~Erin

Hello,
My name is Monica and my shop features my art and photography in a more traditional sense and on different items. I started my shop because of the response I received from tank tops that I made for a 5K that was very near to my heart. It took me about a year to receive 20 sales and since then my shop has picked up but it is not as consistent as I would like it to be. The Clever Little Fox is a name that just came to me but it represents my love of nature and the fact that not all my art is on paper.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and because of that I am working diligently to create items to add to my shop for the holidays.

Here is an example of something you can find in my shop and it happens to be one of my favorite items:

Hi! Currently I'm staying at home and caring for my husband, Kenny, who has Brain Cancer. It's been a tough couple years, however, most die from this aggressive type of cancer (Glioblastoma) in only 90 days, so we're thankful for every day that we have together. We've been married for 28 years and he's my best friend.
Etsy has been a fun thing that I can do at home and I really haven't been able to devote as much time to it as I would like. But I'm doing my best to learn from great people like Monalisa and all of you on my new team! I'm so happy I was "discovered"!
I have another treasury I would like to share with you all as well.

Hi all!

I'm Jess, a recent art grad, lover of Christ, and a full time potter.

In my work I use colors, words, and images that are about home and the outdoors; that evoke both the nostalgia of looking back and the exploration of looking out. My works blends art and the everyday and bridges the ever closing divide between the two.

When my hands aren't muddy with clay, I love to plant plants, visit friends, and spend time in the North Carolinian outdoors with my husband, Dylan and our dog, Buddy.

I'm excited to be a maker on etsy and a part of this cool team!
