I live on a beautiful, but windy little Island - the Isle of Man, in the middle of the Irish sea. Apart from spending time with my beautiful family and friends, taking lovely walks, through the countryside, across beaches, up hills and along the rivers and glens, there is nothing I enjoy more than creating unique art and crafts, in my art studio!

Please take a look at my work and see what you think for yourself!

[GrammasTreasure]

Hi, I am "Gramma" from GrammasTreasures.etsy.com. We all love to explore our elders homes and "attics" looking for forgotten treasures. That is the idea behind my store. I carry brand new items, supplies, multiple fabric panels, and some vintage items. GrammasTreasure is a little store now, but it is slowly growing. As an "attempting to retire from the workforce grandmother" I feel the pull of moving unto a new adventure against the security of now. I look forward to being a member of this group, meeting new entrepreneurs and hopefully receiving some sales advice, leading to sales.

Hello!
My name is Arna I am an Australian artist and Mother of eight beautiful children. I have recently completed a series of works that centre on the theme of Kundalini awakening. It has taken me many years to build my sense of worth as a woman in this world, painting, tantric yoga and writing have been some of the ways I have awakened the energy of woman and life in me . I thought you might enjoy the art of kundalini.
Wishing you peace,
Arna

Good afternoon. I just joined this team.

These days, I am fortunate enough to be able to spend my days being creative. Today I am putting on a warp and have a watercolor on the easel. Yesterday, I explored some new recipes and worked in the garden. Life is good. Am looking forward to seeing the creative works of the other folks on this team. I do make treasuries for other teams I am on, and hope to do so here, as well. It is fun to promote fellow artists!

Here is the link to my Etsy shop. Hope you will visit

[Former_Member]

I am a 49 year old disabled USAF veteran and self-taught artist of Native American-style bead work and wall-hangings.

I will also sometimes find items in a thrift store and decorate them with beadwork or use them in some way in an art piece.

I pride myself in quality work and craftsmanship.

I am new to Etsy.com.

[m0rf313]

Hi, I'm Morf, and I'm a designer and illustrator.

I recently opened my own Etsy shop to share a passion of my life: artisan crafts. I make original handmade jewelry, Steampunk, Vintage, Sci fi / Hi tech, Dark, Fantasy and Kawaii style.

I add new items in my store every now and then, so feel free to follow my creations. =)

My goal is to keep creating as imagination is limitless, and to provide people with some unique handmade items I made with a lot of love!

[Former_Member]

Hello I'm Dj, I am new to Etsy and this team. I have been working with Bamboo and rattan for a few years now and I absolutely love it. I spend 6 months working and 6 months travelling to countries where bamboo is abundant and learning further techniques from the local bamboo craftsmen. So far I have been fortunate enough to learn from highly talented people from Costa Rica, India and Bali and who knows where my next adventure will take me. I wish to continue this for as long as I can.
So far I am making bamboo speakers for iPhone, jewellery boxes, Candle holders and flower vases, but I plan to design and make much more.
Here is my shop...

Hi, my name is Danni and I live near Washington, D.C. I've been cross stitching for over 30 years and selling my creations to friends, family, and craft fair patrons.

[silverworkshop]

Hello there all you talented people!

I'm in my last year of the Jewellery Arts program at George Brown college in Toronto. I work in sterling, gold and love to add colour to jewelry with gemstones. My favourite thing to do though is probably carving wax, that I can then cast in silver. It's nice to be here!

[AnnaFineJewellery]

Hi everyone!

I'm Anna and although I've had an Etsy account for ages, I haven't really got into it properly. I'm trying to change that now and hope to become an active member of the Etsy community.

I'm a fine jeweller and goldsmith mainly working to order on bespoke commissions.

Following my successful Kickstarter campaign, I'm also in the process of redesigning my website to feature more of my bespoke work.

I hope you like my jewellery.
