Please contact me, ready to help you and help me!

Hello all! I'm a full time digital illustrator and Florida Native living in Jupiter. This area is kind of an odd place to be a fantasy artist, especially a digital one, but I'm happy to find a place among fellow artists from FL here on Etsy. :)

Hello :] I am a extremely new to everything Esty, but I already love it. I'm still in the process of setting up my shop and listing my items. I am from Orlando, Fl and my shop includes jewelry inspired by nature and flowers. I may be new but I already get such a good vibe from this new creation.

HI! I'm from the Port St Lucie area. Just started woodworking a few months ago and have created quite a variety of items. From Lamp Finials, to Stash Boxes, Animal Jewelry/Trinket boxes and Wooden Earrings, the list goes on. I consider this just a part time hobby for now, but who knows what the future holds! Be sure to check out my shop! Thank you all and see you around!

Hi! Florida Oranges! My shop just went live today (woo hoo!) and I like in Clearwater, in the Tampa Bay area. I design invitations - birthday party and baby shower invitations right now but I hope to have time soon to work on wedding items too. I have a 2 year old boy and a 7 month old girl who keep me on my toes : )
Looking forward to getting to know my fellow Florida Oranges!

Hello, my name is Tiffany and my shop is called StringBeansInc. I currently live in south beach, Miami and looking to expand in the Miami handmade market, many vendors set up on the beach, but I would like to try another avenue. My jewelry is completely handmade from dry beans, and some metals, and etc. I have been making jewelry for about 12 years now, and I really enjoy it.

Hi Flordians
I'm happy to see so many Miami people on here. I'm in South Miami, trying to work as a visual artist. I have a studio in my home. At the moment, I have work showing at the Deering Estate, 1310 Gallery, and the Girls Club. I will have a show at the ArtCenter/South Florda in December during Art Basel, and my very first solo show will be in January at the 6th Street Container

Hello, I'm Cindy from Sarasota. I'm originally from Ft. Myers, but in January I moved back home after residing in Indiana and Texas for awhile for college. I'm extremely excited to be back home again, and I don't plan to ever leave again! My shop is called The Sleepy Seahorse, and it's only been open for a few weeks. It mostly contains shell ornaments and boxes at the moment, but I will be adding to it in the coming weeks. I look forward to connecting with other Florida crafters!
