Introductions

[Former_Member]

Welcome everybody!

Thank you for joining The Etsy Connection, a forum in which artists can connect and support one another. I would like to take this opportunity for everybody to introduce themselves and their stores, and don't forget to post links! What is you specialty? What is the inspiration behind your designs? Help us provide support for one another by favoriting and liking as many shops/items as you can, and have fun exploring other talented artists!

I'm Em Hudson, owner of Em Hudson Designs. I do a little bit of everything, but am primarily focused on wedding and party decor at the moment, making custom items for any special occasion. Whether it be hairpieces, confetti, or chalkboards, I'm always trying something new, and experimenting with new mediums. I've always been inspired by the beauty and unique style behind weddings, and have aspired to become a "wedding designer" of sorts. I look forward to meeting you all and exploring your beautiful creations. Remember to post links to your store and any social media accounts.

Thank you all,
Em

[AriesArtisticJewelry]

Hi all! My name is Suzi and I am relatively new to etsy. I mostly create handmade fine silver jewelry from a new process called precious metal clay. It's made up of tiny silver particles and an organic binder. After I form and texturize the clay I fire it in the kiln and the binders burn away and I'm left with a piece of almost pure silver (.999) . Most of my inspiration comes from walks with my dog in the woods. My goal is to create pieces that are upscale, yet affordable and comfortable with everyday wear.

I make cloth diapers, drool bibs, organic reusable nursing pads, teething toys for babies and im just now starting to make un-paper towels, which are an alternative to disposable papertowels because you can wash them and reuse them 😊 i have been sewing for about 5 years now and i do it all out of my livingroom. Its what i love though and i have lots of fun doing it!! Check out my shop, its called superdiaperbaby

Hi guys! I began making my own creation of earrings by using small erasers! My shop is small right now but I am hoping to expand as time goes on. Right now I have cupcake studs, stegosaurus studs, t-Rex studs, & longneck studs, & 4 different Christmas studs in stock! They are light weight & very wearable! Feel free to check them out 😊 TIA!

Hi everyone! My name is India and my shop is ArtDesignsByDia :) Painting is my passion and my hobby and it's something I would love to share with everyone else. I work mostly in abstract art but will venture out wherever the mood takes me. I'm not so new to Etsy but this is the first time I've been really passionate to put myself out there. I'm excited to see where this goes.

Hi my name is Cindy. I'm a new shop owner since January 2016. I specialize in beaded jewelry. I'm obsessed with beads. I've made about 50 necklaces and am now adding bracelets, ankle bracelets and soon earrings.
My collection is obscene. I buy locally and have purchased many from Etsy shops trying to do my part to help shop owners.
Originally my photos had creative back grounds and recently took advice to change back drop to white. I did this for the primary pic. There are 3-4 photos to show quality and detail. I would love your opinion if you have the time.
I wish you my best in sales. Thank you for your opinions.

Hello Brook and the rest of the ladies,

I am new to selling online and just started the first week of July. No sales yet but I am determined to make a mark with my MicMas ReMiX Scalp Treatment because I stand proudly and confidently behind my product. It helps when the great results speak for itself! I think it's awesome that we can all support each other and love seeing positive posts like this one. I wanna wish you all a successful entrepreneurship!

Hi from Sue and Tony. We used to have a trucking business in Expedite and now we make hand crafts lol. Tony is the candle and melts maker, while I love making Dream Catchers. We have a shop in a local market and we sell within our community. We have been on Etsy for a few weeks but have yet to get that elusive first sale. Good luck to everyone.

Oh hey! I am Shay from FluffsStuffsUS! I am running an online yarn store with my Father. All of the yarn is from a yarn store which closed several years ago and my Father is interested in selling it. A lot of the yarn is high quality and has not yet been used. I will eventually be adding knitting needles and more looms but right now we just have yarn. Check us out if you have a project and you want some cheaper yarn! We are more than willing to negotiate about prices :)
