Good morning from France :)

I am an avid collector of all things Ancient, and would love to make jewelry in my spare time, I have some ideas for some of my supply items, but I am not really capable of making really wonderful pieces and would one day love to collaborate with other jewelers :)

[Former_Member]

Welcome Carol-Anne.
Some interesting pieces in your shop. Would you be looking to collaborate with vintage jewelry designers?

Wife, Mummy of two girls & full time creator of all handmade one of a kind natural skincare products. I absolutely love what I do & create products which have been inspired by the beauty around the world. My products are all natural, handmade & made with few ingredients. I would love to learn & share my ideas on how we can collaborate with each other

Welcome Purvi.
Beautiful shop. And I love your photos. What kind of shops would you like to collaborate with?

[Former_Member]

New to Etsy networking! Had no idea this kind of thing even existed- I'm sure I just found you by accident! Would love to collaborate (though not entirely sure how!) and not fussy, just grateful!
I'm from www.mummymakesx.etsy.com I make handstitched keepsakes and gifts including name garlands-all personalised to suit themes and colours, ️fairy houses, rosettes and lots more! Xx

Hi Hollie
Welcome to the team.
Sweet shop! I love the tooth fairies.
I`ve just read about this idea myself and thought I`d like to explore it more.

Hi everyone! I'm Krista, a software developer from Wisconsin, and I love crafting in my free time. I learned how to crochet last year and have become totally obsessed with it! I got my shop up and running again a little over a month ago now and haven't had much luck yet, but I'm really working hard to expand my inventory. This seems like a wonderful place to help each other expand our marketplace and what we do! I'm not sure who I would want to collaborate with, but I am definitely open to any ideas :)

[Former_Member]

Hi Krista. Welcome! Love your bright colourful shop.

Hi!
I'm Ploy, a cat lover from Thailand. I'm new in Etsy and I try my best to increase more sales. I love to share my ideas and learn from each other but I'm not sure who I want to collaborate with. I have designed my leather work with simplicity and easy usability.
If you have some new ideas, please advice me. I want to hear from you and nice to meet everyone.

Hey everyone! Glass Lampworker here!

Love to find a silver smith to team up with.

Hi Susan, sorry I did not get back to you sooner.

I'm not sure who I am looking to collaborate with at the moment :) It's just that I have some ideas of turning some of my pieces into jewelry and think collaborating is such a good idea

[Former_Member]

Hi Ploy. Welcome to Etsy and the team. Lovely shop.
Maybe you could collaborate with an artist (there are so many talented ones here) to have different designs added to some of your completed leather items.

[Former_Member]

Hi! Breanna. Welcome. Love your blown glass work.

[FreshRetroGallery]

Family tree charts are my main item so I might be interested in collaborating in some way with a person who makes frames. I'd like to push my digital cards and family reunion invitations and I offer one type of stationery for printing, however, there's a possibility to collaborate with a paper supplier for more choices. Toy motorcycles, perhaps with someone who makes leather biker jackets. Brass metal art with someone who likes wine…

Hi everyone!

I'm Danialy, I create custom and personalized shoes, flip flops, and accessories. Sometimes I will even go treasure hunting for vintage pieces for my customers. I just started a collaboration with a fellow Etsian and have been working with other shops as well by purchasing their items and using them in my designs. It's a lot of fun and has provided great support. My shop is less than a year old but has allowed me to stay home and help my family. I take care of my mom in law who has alzeimer and working from home has been a blessing.

Have lots to learn and hoping this team will help :)

Hi, I'm Erin. This is the first team I've joined and I'm excited to be here. I love painting and creating and I love the idea of collaborating with other talented Etsy sellers. I'm currently working on introducing a line of kitchen items and other home goods to my shop because as much as I love making art, I want to create things that are beautiful as well as functional. I'm excited to be here and to see what amazing collaborations come out of this team. I've never collaborated with other sellers before so I don't really know how it will work but I'm open to suggestions and ideas.

[FreshRetroGallery]

^^^ also, anyone who sells buttons or T-shirts willing to collaborate with my listing for personalizable family reunion art? https://www.etsy.com/listing/222278161/family-reunion-invitation-with-enough?ref=shop_home_active_8

Hi,
I make jewelry, mainly copper and silver! I worked a high stress job in the medical field for many years when it became clear I needed to stay home with my boys, one of whom is autistic and needs a tremendous amount of care. Creating jewelry is my escape into something completely different from all the other things I do. I love learning new techniques and really love how I work on different designs all the time. I recently began a collaboration with a local lamp work bead maker and that has really moved me up a level, so I was quite curious about this team when I was invited to join! I am always looking for new elements to add to my designs and look forward to working and brainstorming with you all!

Hi, I'm Steph from Minneapolis!
I make static cling drink markers with funny sayings on them. I just purchased my own printer so that I can do custom orders and I'd love to collaborate with a graphic artist or illustrator for more designs or other print opportunities. I can print on static cling, fabric, removable wall stickers, etc. I can even print metallic!
I look forward to getting to know more of you!

[Former_Member]

Welcome Elizabeth Daniely, Erin, Karin, Steph.
I`m looking forward to checking all your shops out.
Daniely- Alzeimers is such an unfair disease. I commend you for taking care of your mother-in-law.
I`m going to open a thread for people who already collaborate. Any advice you have would be welcome.

Great shop!

[Former_Member]

Hi,
I'm a big fan of Teamwork, feel if done with the right heart it can really help shops here. I'm already supplying custom wood pieces to some shops and they are ecstatic about it. Don't get me wrong, it's not about what I do, was just putting that out there. Salute!

[Former_Member]

Hi everyone! My shop has been open since Oct 2014 (had one for a very short time years ago and have been an Etsy shopper since 2008). I saw a thread on one of the forums a few weeks back and saw a post by one of the shop owner who makes and sells baby items. I make handmade greeting cards, mini photo books, gift tags, wall hangings, etc. I contacted her and we are starting a collaborations. We're going to give it some time and then regroup and see what we think. I'm very excited about this! Oh, this is my first Etsy team! Excited about that too!
