Hi I'm Tanya! I've ben selling on etsy for a few months now, and have found etsy a very welcoming place to sell my handmade items. I spend every minute of my spare time painting, doing mosaics, and other crafty projects, and LOVE IT! I come from a small town in Wisconsin and have recently moved to sunny Florida to be near the ocean, and away from the snow.

Hi, I'm Ivette, I've just joined Etsy and I hope to have a great experience with Etsy as Tanya said.
I've moved to Montana 2 years ago (to the snow, sigh..) after 5 years of traveling, however despite the cold, Montana's nature has reignated my creativity and I haven't stopped painting for the past year!

Hi, I am Melinda. I also just joined Etsy. I have always loved the natural look of grapevine wreaths and berries, and love to make wreaths. I thought I would try my hand at selling them.
I am from Pennsylvania, work a full time job, part time job and also taking college classes. In the spare time I find, I create these beautiful wreaths!

Hi, I am Tracy, although I sign all of my artwork Tandy (which is a combination of my first and last names (T and Y from Tracy and then AND from Anderson). I have two shops on Etsy this shop which is my Fine Art and Graphic Design Shop and then I also have a jewelry shop (Tandy Artisan Jewelry) where I make all of my jewelry by hand. I've had the jewelry shop open since March 2012 and I just started putting my paintings in this store (which used to be my buyers account) at the beginning of this month. I am a full time artist running 3 businesses (Graphic Design, Fine Art and Jewelry). I spend most of my days creating something in my backyard studio. I am from Massachusetts, but have lived the majority of my life in southern California. I've also lived in Italy, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, and Florida.

Hey, I'm Sam :)
I don't remember when I first joined Etsy but I only started listing items recently. My passion is jewelry and anything artsy. I moved to Cape Breton, NS with my mom, sister and 3 pets 2 years ago from Montreal. I love the country life and it gives me so much more time to work on crafts, especially jewelry. I'm graduating from high school in a week and then going to college into business in the Fall.

Hello I'm kyra and I just started my etsy shop, FortePianoArt. I love all mediums(truly, I have yet to find something I don't enjoy and excell at) I am a young artist hoping to get my work noticed and recognized and to help other artists do the same.

Hi, I'm Rachel :-)
I've been on Etsy for a few months and admittedly, I haven't had much luck. Although, I haven't been promoting and networking as much as I should, either. My job and life have finally got a little less demanding, so I have more time to focus on my shop. I live in Pittsburgh PA, and my main crafts are tie dying and crochet, but I recently took a trip to to Florida and have a pile of shells from the Gulf of Mexico, so there may be some new ideas posted sometime soon.

Hello I'm Gretchen!
I'm from upstate NY and spend as much time as i can gaining inspiration from the outdoors. I love exploring and studying nature in every way. I'm a dancer/choreographer, musician, and designer. I love to alter fashion and decor to give it an entirely new feel and style with the details i create. I just revamped my shop condensing it from a huge array of everything I do to a more focused theme and I'm excited to make a splash!

Hi, I'm Manuela
I am a ceramic artist/designer maker, working from a shared studio space in North London. I work part-time and I am hoping that my Etsy shop, which I've only opened a few days ago, will enable me to keep my studio for a little longer, while I try to figure out what it actually is that I want to make. I like to sculpt and model things and hopefully I'll be able to add these sort of items to my shop. But at the moment I'm still trying to find out how it all works. Looking forward to getting to know the team :)

Hi I'm Janice.

I'm retired in Tampa, Florida and just LOVE to make beautiful things!
I have had a shop(s) on Etsy for many years. However, I'm trying something new...entertainer or costume shoes and heels. I have found success creating gorgeous bridal shoes on my other shop and all natural beauty bath bars in my 3rd shop.

I like to keep busy, but could use more exposure...couldn't we all??
Thanks,

Janice

Carmen, welovestitches, Brit, & Melinda.. It is nice to meet all of you! I looked at all of your shops & I love what I see. There is so much creativity here, what a great team for inspiration!

Melinda- I love your wreaths, and am very attracted to your work with candles!

BritJess- Your paintings are super cute! The pink & brown girlie pictures are my favs!

welovestitches- What beautiful natural looking items you have! I love your teddy brooches, I used to collect bears when I was a young girl :)

Carmen- You are so talented at painting! I tried painting once, it didn't work out well, lol. But my fiance, he paints as a living (but not art, just houses and businesses)! I love the onion painting, it caught my attention right away and looks awesomely realistic!

I added you all to my circle, and added my top picks to my favorites list! Great job to you all && keep up the hard work!
