(CLICK on item's title above to learn moer about this charming Santa!)
WELCOME, Mike and his charming creations, which he sells through his Etsy shop, BROWN'S COUNTRY ORIGINALS. Mike designs and creates one-of-a-kind, whimsical paper mache collectibles, with old world style santas being his speciality! Be sure to pay a visit to BROWN'S COUNTRY ORIGINALS after reading Mike's interview below. You will surely find yourself smiling as you see all the fun characters!
What led you to start creating your art/craft?
I started making furniture .... I soon realized it took a lot storage space. It was not eay to pack and unpack plus I needed a big truck to haul the furniture to shows. I decided I needed something that took up less space. For years I collected paper mache and chalkware Santa's, so I decided to try and make some myself. Read various articles on ceating paper mache and chalkware ... experimented with various receipes and finally came up with one that worked for me.
How did you decide what medium you wanted to work with?
For years I collected paper mache and chalkware Santa's, so I decided to try and make some myself.
What aspect of creating your art/craft do you find the most enjoyable?
I enjoy working with the paper mache the most as it allows me to use my imagination.
If you had to choose a fruit OR a vegetable, to describe your art/craft, what would you choose, and why?
The star fruit ... most fruits and vegetables are round or oblong but the star fruit is unique it is star shaped. My work is like the star fruit because it is very unique.
If you had to choose one other medium in which to display your “creativity”, what would that be, and why?
Wood because I love making furniture.
(CLICK on the item's title above to learn more about this whimsical Santa!)
What message, if any, do you want to convey with your art/craft?Handmade work is unique and one of kind .... it is not mass produced.
What advice do you have for other artists/crafters?
Try to think out of the box and never get discouraged?
THANKS, Mike, for sharing your wonderful, imaginative creations with all of us. When looking at them, they take you to a fun, whimsical place!

FEATURED ETSY SHOP - VALERIA BEADS
(CLICK on item's title to learn more about this lovely piece!)
WELCOME, Valeria and her Etsy shop, VALERIA BEADS. Valeria has some very beautiful, intricate designs in her shop, so be sure to pay it a visit after reading her interview below. Great pricing on these intricate designs!
What led you to start creating your art/craft?
I was born in USSR in Kazakhstan. we did not have books about crafts, no computer to see how big is the world. My mom was always busy with something, crochet or knitting or macrame, sewing, so we learned that from her, but it was not enough. We learned how to do needle work and some construction work from my papa. I grew up and learned more hobbies. my main interest now is beading.
How did you decide what medium you wanted to work with?
When I was 8, I had a string of dark blue beads and wanted to have treasure box. Me and my sister made a box from post cards! We would put lots of junk inside and on the top that blue string of little beads imagining that the box is filled with treasures. For years we were keeping those beads stringing them on 1 or 2 threads. we did not know what else to do with it. It is why I like weaving beads now, as it was something I did not learn when I was a kid.
CLICK on item's title above to learn more about it!)
Complicated things! I could string nice beads, add a clasp to it or put a charm on chain and call it jewelry, but it is boring. About everybody else can do it, but not every jewelry person can weave little tiny beads together and get an art, get them to bloom, turning them into flowers, feathers, almost anything!
If you had to choose a fruit OR a vegetable, to describe your art/craft, what would you choose, and why?
I like to do blooms of both as with seed beads it is possible. but I am probably fruit as they are higher from the ground usually!
(CLICK on item's title above to learn more about it!)
If you had to choose one other medium in which to display your “creativity”, what would that be, and why?
Cross stitch. I started needle work when I was in kindergarten. we would stitch a little napkin every birthday for my grandma. I never saw her use them. She is no longer with us, but once when I was making order in her house, I opened one drawer and found all ofr our little presents to her. I cried. I did not know she dearly kept them all as she was a very strict woman who was not spoiling us. I do cross stitch sometimes, but not get patterns from the store or web. I like to do something only mine. so I am making portraits by designing patterns. It takes about 6 months for one, but I love to see how colorful threads are becoming something beautiful.
What message, if any, do you want to convey with your art/craft?
I want people to be noticeable by wearing something different.
What advice do you have for other artists/crafters?
I am not doing it for profit, I am doing it for joy!
THANKS, Valeria, for sharing your truly lovely designs with everyone, and for such a delightful, informative interview. It is fun to know more about you and what motivates you.

FEATURED ETSY SHOP - STEFANIE'S SAMMELSURIUM
(click on item's title to learn more about it)
with my own lampwork beads, sari ribbon, fiber and other fabrics
Please welcome, Stefanie and her Etsy shop, STEFANIE'S SAMMELSURIUM. I just love the texture and colors of this jewelry artist's creations! If you are looking for unique, creative jewelry that will bring you compliments, be sure to visit Stefanie's shop.
First, take a moment to learn a bit more about Stefanie and her creations by reading her interview below.
What led you to start creating your art/craft?
I was seeking a way to relax and express myself after my daily job. I collected jewelry since I was a teenager so it was a obvious choice what to turn to.
How did you decide what medium you wanted to work with?
As I said – jewelry was and is an important part of my life. Whenever I stumble upon special kinds of beads or great fiber & fabric I have to get it and make jewelry out of it.
(click on item's title above to learn more about it)
That I can actually make things with my hands. My regular job is all about business and marketing I have no connection to the finished product. Sometimes that can be frustrating .
If you had to choose a fruit OR a vegetable, to describe your art/craft, what would you choose, and why?
I think a watermelon – it combines my favorite colors and it is far from being delicate - so is my jewelry. I love bold, chunky and vibrant pieces.
(Click on item's title above to learn more about it)
If you had to choose one other medium in which to display your “creativity”, what would that be, and why?
I guess I would try my luck with my second love – fibers! But I’m a terrible knitter and crocheter.
What message, if any, do you want to convey with your art/craft?
That life is all about variety and that there is always a bright side. I try to express that with my color choices and the different materials I work with.
What advice do you have for other artists/crafters?
Enjoy what you do. Try to make things you like and not what the markets ask for. In the long run it will pay off and the whole creating process is so much more rewarding. And join a community. You meet great people like Donna here.
Thanks, Stefanie, for a great interview and for sharing your inspired, creative, jewelry with everyone! Be sure to pay a visit to STEFANIE'S SAMMELSURIUM shop on Etsy, and visit her other links below.

FEATURED ETSY ARTIST - DOVE DESIGNS
by
DOVE DESIGNS
(CLICK on item's title above to learn more)
WELCOME, Jodi and her Etsy shop, DOVE DESIGNS. When you pay a visit to DOVE DESIGNS, you will find a delightful array of handmade hairbows, clippies, korker bows (such as the one above) headbands and more.
First take a moment to read Jodi's interview below where she gives us a bit of an insight into how she got started creating her designs.
What led you to start creating your art/craft?
After having my daughter, I quickly saw how a cute hairbow pulled an entire outfit together. Hair accessories can really make or break an outfit for a little girl. I started designing bows for her and soon I was getting requests from strangers.
Twisted Boutique Bow in Black and Pink
How did you decide what medium you wanted to work with?In my area, bows are more popular than other hair accessories, such as flowers or headbands. My daughter has extremely curly hair and I wanted something that would stay in her hair.
What aspect of creating your art/craft do you find the most enjoyable?
I find seeing the finished product to be the most enjoyable part, especially seeing it in someone's hair! I love to see how my bows match different outfits for different girls.
If you had to choose a fruit OR a vegetable to describe your art/craft, what would you choose and why?
I think I'd choose an apple to represent my bows. Apples come in several colors and flavors, just like the different bows I make. I think of my creations as fresh and tart, just like an apple!
If you had to choose one other medium in which to display your "creativity", what would that be and why?
Another medium I'd choose would be sewing. I love to see custom outfits for children, especially smocking. The creative possibilities with colors and textures are endless. Unfortunately, I'm a terrible seamstress!
(CLICK on item's title above to learn more)
What message, if any, do you want to convey with your art/craft?
The message I'd like to convey is that every little girl can look cute. I try to make bows to represent a wide variety of tastes. Not every girl is a girly-girl in pink. Not every girl likes bling. I want to provide hair accessories that appeal to different personalities and tastes.
What advice do you have for other artists/crafters?
I'm still new to Etsy, so I'm still learning what works there! But anyone interested in designing bows should do lots of research and try out different materials to see what appeals to them. And practice, practice, practice!
THANKS, Jodi, for sharing your thoughts and creations with all of us. May your DOVE DESIGNS prove successful for you!

FEATURED ETSY SHOP - CARIAD CLAY
by CARIAD CLAY
(Click on item's title above to learn more about it)
Let's welcome Chloe, and her Etsy shop, CARIAD CLAY as a featured Etsy artist here on DZFANTASY. It has been a while since I've had time to bring you featured Etsy shops, and I am happy to have CARIAD CLAY as one of the first ones.
Be sure to pay a visit to Chloe's shop after reading her interview below, where she tells us in her own words how she got started in her art.
What led you to start creating your art/craft?
After having my little girl, I started pottery classes to try to banish the baby brain.
How did you decide what medium you wanted to work with?
I've always loved getting messy and really enjoyed pottery at school
What aspect of creating your art/craft do you find the most enjoyable?
I love how relaixng it is, just sitting with some fresh clay and working on new ideas. Sometimes they turn out well and other times they are a complete mess, but as long as I get my 'clay time' I'm happy!
If you had to choose a fruit OR a vegetable, to describe your art/craft, what would you
choose, and why?
A banana! It's soft to start with, but hard when dried and it's bright and sunny!
(Click on item's above title to learn more about it)
It would always be clay!
What message, if any, do you want to convey with your art/craft?
That I'm a potter from Wales! I love my Welsh roots and living in Wales.
Cariad is Welsh for beloved and if more people know that then I'm happy.
What advice do you have for other artists/crafters?
Make what you enjoy making, then you'll enjoy selling it and talking about it too
Chloe, thanks for taking the time to share your delightful creations with all of us and for sharing your thoughts and ideas.

FEATURED ETSY SHOP - 1mADwoman
by
Erin of 1mADwoman
(to learn more about this beautiful clutch, click on the item's title above)
It has been a while since I've had the time to put featured Etsy artists here on my blog, and am happy to have Erin and her Etsy shop 1mADwoman here today.
Erin designs and creates lovely handmade purses, bags and clutches, so be sure to visit "1mADwoman" on Etsy to find your perfect accessory.
First, take a moment to read about Erin and how she came to be creating these lovely accessories.
What led you to start creating your art/craft?
I have an obscene amount of fabric leftover from other projects and from inheriting fabric from my grandma and her best friend when they decided to get rid of their stuff. Some of it was stuff I was never going to wear, so I started making purses and clutches out of it. It turned out to be a hugely fun and fantastic decision!
How did you decide what medium you wanted to work with?
I've been sewing for twelve years - I wanted to learn to make my own clothes because it's much easier to find what you want to wear that way! I also started quilting a couple of years later. Almost every baby born in my personal vicinity has received a baby blanket from me in the last ten years. Learning to design the purses was actually pretty easy - no curved seams or body parts to fit!
(click on item's title above to learn more about this stunning clutch)
What aspect of creating your art/craft do you find the most enjoyable?
The total freedom it gives me. I can choose what I want to do and how I want to do it. I really don't do well in traditional office settings - I get bored way to easily!
(click on item's title above to learn more about it)
If you had to choose a fruit OR a vegetable, to describe your art/craft, what would you choose, and why?
Pumpkin - I'm as full of ideas and want-to's as a pumpkin is full of seeds!
If you had to choose one other medium in which to display your "creativity", what would that be, and why?
I've always wanted to learn how to draw properly - I can't draw anything but basic stuff with any regularity!
What message, if any, do you want to convey with your art/craft?
That this is FUN and that I really love what I do!
What advice do you have for other artists/crafters?
Do what you love and enjoy it! If you don't love it, you won't enjoy it, and you won't be any good at it. And believe in yourself - even if no one else does, you MUST believe that you can do what you set out to do.
Thanks, Erin for a delightful interview and for sharing your lovely creations with all of us. Erin also designs jewelry and sells it in her other Etsy shop called "Heartsabustin". Be sure to visit Erin's links below.

Looking foward to fall......."ACORN FAIRY"!
With all the "hot and humid" weather we've been having in Wisconsin this summer, I am definitely looking forward to fall....some nice crisp air, and the smell of falling leaves!
To make myself feel "cooler", I decided to start creating some "fall fairies", and the above wall style fairy is the first in my fall collection. To learn more about her, you can visit her in my DZFANTASY shop on Etsy by clicking on her above title.
She is wearing a "real acorn" cap!

FEATURED ETSY SHOP - MOMSHOO by Shu Ning
by MOMSHOO
(CLICK on item's title above to learn more about it)
I'm happy to have Shu Ning and her Etsy shop, MOMSHOO here on DZFANTASY as a "featured" Etsy shop. When you pay a visit to MOMSHOO you will find delightful, colorful fabric badges and pins to add a bit of fun to any outfit.
First, take a moment to read Shu Ning's interview below.
What led you to start creating your art/craft?
Strictly speaking I only started sewing after attending a patchwork class, but way before that, I had art classes all the time! And it was only after being inspired by so many plush artists I read about in books that got me thinking, “Hey! That looks fun and something I could do IT too!” The boredom following the long break before entering University also helped fuel the start of Momshoo.
How did you decide what medium you wanted to work with?
As mentioned before, plush artists were my first inspirations and trying to come up with my own plush for a major art project in school got me hooked on sewing! It wasn’t difficult to realize I wanted to work on all things fabric.
 |
| Momshoo- The Little Prince fabric badges set (CLICK on the item's title above to learn more about it) What aspect of creating your art/craft do you find the most enjoyable? Hmm… tough decision. I think I like the finding of inspiration (usually involves shopping around and I can disguise it as ‘working’)… Sewing is also very therapeutic, but I love putting on the finishing touches as I get that sense of satisfaction seeing the readymade products! If you had to choose a fruit OR a vegetable, to describe your art/craft, what would you choose, and why? The lemon! The fruit is sour and some people (like me) love it, others do not. In some way my craft is very specific and you either like it a lot or you don’t! Which is the reason why I don’t actively push my products to passers-by at flea markets; hard-sell doesn’t work for my kind of products. And for those who are interested, they usually appreciate my creations a lot more. If you had to choose one other medium in which to display your “creativity”, what would that be, and why? Wood! Ah, yes, most definitely wood. I am always attracted to the tiny wooden toys of Germany, but I haven’t had a chance to learn wood-craft as I haven’t found anyone in Singapore who teaches it. What message, if any, do you want to convey with your art/craft? There are many ways you can add ‘fun’ in your lives! What advice do you have for other artists/crafters? Shop around and experiment often. I find this is a good way for me to come up with new products. (I am still very new to all this! Maybe they have advice for me too? ) Thanks, Shu Ning, for taking the time to share your thoughts and your creativity with all of us. Be sure to visit Shu Ning's links below to see more of her delightful creations. |

FEATURED ETSY ARTIST - Natalie of Lissi Naturally Dyed Products
(CLICK on above link to learn more about this beautiful silk scarf)
WELCOME Natalie and her Etsy shop Lissi Naturally Dyed Products. Pay a visit to Natalie's shop and you will find a gorgeous selection of hand dyed products. There is something so rich and exquisite about silk, and to have it handdyed naturally is the ultimate treat!
First, take a moment to read Natalie's interview below to learn a bit more about this talanted artist.
What led you to start creating your art/craft
I’ve always enjoyed being creative, and when I left school at 16 I became a florist. I returned to education when I was twenty and gained a degree in Fashion Marketing. It was my final major project for university that saw me start researching into the ethics and organics of the fashion industry, and for that I created a brand of clothing, Lissi, highlighting the alternatives to chemical based dyes that can be used to dye fabric and cloth. Since I graduated I have an office based job as a merchandiser so to keep myself actively creative I decided I to launch Lissi Naturally Dyed Products as an accessories and supplies brand!
How did you decide what medium you wanted to work with?
I think it all stemmed back to working in the florist’s shop and my love for nature and fauna. There is so much choice to experiment with and it’s really exciting to see how things turn out once they have entered the dye pot.
What aspect of creating your art/craft do you find the most enjoyable?
The not knowing! Well, most off the time unless I am trying to re-create a certain colour or mimic a previous print for a custom order that is!
Everything I dye comes out different which gives each piece a special uniqueness.
(CLICK on above link to learn more about these beautiful cards)
Hmm, a tough one. What kind of fruit or vegetable can be unpredictable?...possibly an orange as these can surprise by being either super sweet or bitterly sour!
If you had to choose one other medium in which to display your “creativity”, what would that be, and why?
I really miss drawing and illustrating. I haven’t done so much since I finished my degree and recently reminisced over my portfolio.
(CLICK on link above to learn more about this unique silk ball necklace)
I really just want to show people alternative design aspects. We don’t always have to rely on man and chemicals, and should look to the nature around us to see how self sufficient we really can be.
What advice do you have for other artists/crafters?
If you are just starting out, take time to research your market and the right venues to show your work, and don’t get down hearted if your items don’t fly out. Ask friends and families to spread the word too. Things started really slow for Lissi Naturally Dyed Products, and I won’t be able to leave my 9-5 job for many years, if ever, but it’s more about the fulfilment of still being able to be creative for me....and it’s an added bonus that people like what I do!
Thanks, Natalie, for sharing your thoughts and silk creations with everyone! They are absolutely beautiful!

What led you to start creating your art/craft?

How did you decide what medium you wanted to work with?

If you had to choose a fruit OR a vegetable, to describe your art/craft, what would you choose, and why?
Fruit; colorful like a vintage flower!

Miniatures; I also make dollhouse miniatures or paint.

Aqua "Sea Nymph on her magical fish"...!
Aqua Sea Nymph on her Magical Fish
She was sold today, and will be on her way to her new home !
I finally finished her! I've had her magical fish finished for a while now, but just couldn't get going on the nymph. She is light and airy looking in her tones of aqua, which are enhanced with over 100+ Swarovski crystal accents. Sewing on all the crystals by hand took me quite a few hours in itself.
She is designed to hang as a mobile and will twirl and sparkle!

(CLICK on title above to learn more about this item)
If you are looking for fun, colorful, original designed greeting cards and gifts, then you will want to be sure to pay a visit to HollyByGolly on Etsy!! This fun shop is run by a delightful artist named, Holly. You will find whimsical cards such as the one shown above along with colorful magnets and more!
First, take time to read Holly's interview below, where she tells us in her own words how she got started making her HollyByGolly creations.
What led you to start creating your art/craft?
I was working an insane amount of hours at my day job and I needed a creative outlet. I’ve always been interested in paper crafts, pens, markers, etc. and have been a creative soul since I was a child. Once I created my first card I was hooked.
How did you decide what medium you wanted to work with?
I love to draw/doodle and I love paper. Making cards seemed like a natural choice. The glass gem idea came later when I want to add a little something, but I didn’t want it to be a typical embellishment.
(CLICK on title above to learn more about this item)
What aspect of creating your art/craft do you find the most enjoyable?
My most enjoyable aspect is when I put colored ink to paper. When my pencil sketch pops with color.
(CLICK on the above title to learn more about this item)
If you had to choose a fruit OR a vegetable, to describe your art/craft, what would you choose, and why?
All of them, because I try to make my cards and magnets very colorful.
If you had to choose one other medium in which to display your “creativity”, what would that be, and why?
Probably paint, because it is easy to apply and you can paint virtually any item.
(CLICK on title above to learn more about this item)
What message, if any, do you want to convey with your art/craft?
Fun. Everyone loves to get a card in the mail. Even if you’re not a card sender yourself, my cards make card giving fun. My motto is, “Things that are fun to give… and receive.”
What advice do you have for other artists/crafters?
Don’t try to create when you’re tired or angry. It rarely comes out right. If you must do something, work on ideas, sketches, etc. Nothing you are expecting to “put out there”.
Thanks, Holly, for sharing your delightful creations with everyone. They make you feel good just looking at them!!

Take a moment to read Luna's interview below to see what motivated her to get started in her artistic venture.
What led you to start creating your art/craft?
I have been crafting since I was a child It makes me happy knowing that you can make someone just as happy giving them a unique hand made gift compared to a store bought gift that hundreds of others will be getting as well.
(CLICK on item's title above to learn more about it)
I work with pretty much everything. I love arts & crafts in general, but I mainly sell jewelry. It is the easiest and the most fun for me to make.
What aspect of creating your art/craft do you find the most enjoyable?
I love creating jewelry because I know that the person wearing it will love it as well as the people around the person wearing it. Plus, most of my products are one of a kind so that person will be the only one in the world with that exact piece.
(CLICK on item's title above to learn more about them)
If you had to choose a fruit OR a vegetable, to describe your art/craft, what would you choose, and why?
I would pick a banana because they smell good, they are bright and fun, plus they are yummy.

I would pick scrapbooking or card making because it is what I am second best at.
What advice do you have for other artists/crafters?
Always remember it takes a lot of time, patience and promotion to make it in the selling world. It may take a while, but don't give up hope!
Thanks for taking the time, Luna, to share your creativity and thoughts with everyone! It is always fun to learn a bit more about the artist behind the creations.
