Hi. My name is Toni and live in Cocoa Beach, Fl. I design and create hand painted silk scarfs. Water color is my favorite medium this is why I enjoy painting on silk. The results are always a great surprise.
I get most of my inspiration from the flora and fauna around me. Color and design is my passion. I feel an engrossing connection to my work. I am constantly adding to my shop. I love Etsy and what it represents.

My name is Angeline. I am new to Etsy and a new stay-at-home mom. Daycare was VERY expensive. Trying to make things to sell that will bring in a little extra cash.

I am starting out handpainting wood. I hope to expand a bit, but I am not sure what to do. Trying to keep a variety.

Hi, my name is Danny and run a repurposing and vintage collectible shop. We do custom finished funiture that is all hand painted, hand distressed and hand finished. We have only been open since July of 2012 and are just starting to get the hang of the Etsy experience. So far things have gone really good for us. It's nice to meet everyone.

[MarieHolmanDesigns]

Hi, I'm Marie. I'm new to Etsy teams, this is only my second one. Years ago a palm reader told me that I should paint. I explained that I sew. She said "no, you should paint". I was skeptical. Well.... now, the painting bug bit. I'm combining my two passions to create hand painted canvas handbags. I also recycle jean bags. Hey, maybe I'll paint the jean bags! hmmmm I'm excited about working with this team!

Hello everyone. My name is Bee. Together with my good friend Caroline we paint existing pieces of furniture with our own designs.
We have only recently started working together and have just begun to put our first items on Etsy.
We are from the Hereford / Worcester boarder in England and work from home to fit our work around our busy young families.
We are creating our first pieces together and really enjoying the creative process but now we need to start putting our shop together.

Hi I am new to Etsy!

I live in the suburbs of Pittsburgh (PA) and I paint personalized paintings that not only incorporate the name but the personality of my customers.

I am a mom, and a grandmom, and I have a full time job as a Business Systems Analyst. I have drawn all of my life and always said that someday when I hit the lottery and didn't have to worry about paying the bills that I would love to do something with my art. Last year I realized that life is too short. I had a lot of support from my family and friends and in February of this year - A Picture Perfect Name was born.

I am so glad that I made the decision to jump in and do it now and I am so thrilled at the responses I have gotten from my customers. I love getting to know the people and their likes and interests and then being able to capture the moment they are in right now!

[Former_Member]
