Whoops, I'm a day late again! You'll have to forgive me, I was slaving away at our garage sale yesterday and it wiped me out!

Today I'm featuring Katy B Designs. Katy is an elementary school art teacher who can proudly say she still loves her career after 12 years. In her spare time, she creates these wonderful designs, using gemstones, crystals, and sterling silver, resulting in stunning creations such as this "Natural Beauty Turquoise and Agate Bracelet". (Comes with a matching necklace, too!)

Meet Juliery (clever name, huh?). She started creating jewelry as a little girl, using seed beads and embroidery floss and moving on to Czech glass, Swarovski crystal, semiprecious stones, lucite, and unique vintage elements. After taking a few silversmithing courses along the way, Juliery returned to her beading roots.

If you think this piece looks interesting, check out her shop for more unique items!

Ok, I know I'm a day late, but I figured you'll excuse the tardiness since it was Easter yesterday and I was doing the family thing.

So today's artist is Green Envy Desings, an Australian jewelry maker with a special skill for weaving the most intriguing weaves. Check out this gorgeous blue flower ring entitled "Efflorescence". The ring was created from different size Japanese seed beads built around a beautiful cobalt-blue Swarovski crystal.

Update: I think the ring must've sold, as it is no longer appearing in the post.

Today I'd like to feature iSew, who quit her job two years ago to sew full time. Her shop is chock full of really interesting items. Frank, here, is one of them:


Having just become the proud owner of an iPod, this cute Monkey Cozy might come in handy! (It can also be used for cameras and cell phones!)

Etsy, the website for buying and selling all things handmade, has an interesting feature called the Treasury. Etsy members have the opportunity to make a list of items in their theme of choice and then post it for all to see. This gives greater exposure to the shopkeepers as well as to the list creator.

There 150 lists (sometimes a few extra) so there's sure to be something good.

I'd like to show off some of the Etsy sellers from time to time. Today, I'd like to introduce The Red Leaf. Rather than use a bookmark, she's designed this "book thong" for holding your place:



Interesting idea, huh? The Red Leaf also has a great blog, which is blogrolled to your right.
