BEHIND THE SCENES SEGMENT 1 - A Glimpse into Etsy artists workspaces

Below you will see the remaining shops that I didn't have time to add into the first segment, which took me many hours to get set up and finished.  Thanks for your patience. 

ALYSSA KAY COLLECTIONS

by Trish

Trish says, "I am almost ashamed of sending you this picture, I am not terribly organized. But of course I sometimes work right at my kitchen table too, right out of a fishing tackle box that transports all my supplies."

A lot of the artists felt the same way as Trish, but when you see all the beautiful creations that come from these workspaces...it sure doesn't matter how messy we artists can get in our spaces. It is what comes OUT of them that counts!

KITSCH CAFE

What a fantastic, organized space this is!

SHE'S BATTY DESIGNS

Here we can see several photos of what this artist's workspace looks like at different times.

Very Neat!

Ah, now that looks more like it!

Now we know she's been working really hard here!

ATELIER EXPO ARTE

"Just some pictures to show you where and how Atelier Expo Arte makes his handmade pieces.

This takes place in a small town in Portugal, called Vila Nva de Gaia."

ALEXANDER'S DESIGNS

Husband and wife team.

His workspace!

Her workspace!

LIZARD'S JEWELRY

This area is in our living room, which is now been taken over by me as a studio. This area is where I do most of my metal clay work. I do my fabricating work in a space up-stairs in our bank barn. My husband's studio is up there (he's a sculptor...) JEFF HALL'S ART 

I have a space where I do soldering and the heavy equipment is there, i.e; drill press, lathe, sanders, etc. Now that I have also started incorporating polymer clay in my work I've had to start another space dedicated to that. So I basically work all over the place, but this area featured is where I do most of it.

RAINS SEWS

I don't know how people stay so organized! Wonder what the secret is!

MAD ART JEWELRY

Here we get to see some of the steps taken to create MAD ART JEWELRY'S workspace.

TWO RIVERS SOAP

THANKS AGAIN to all the Etsy shops who participated in this "work spaces" feature.  It was fun seeing how everyone works....I guess some of us are very neat and organized and some have "organized clutter".  I definitely fall into the last category.

FALL FANTASY....Signs of FALL on Etsy!

ACORN FAIRY FACE PIN

DZFANTASY

Wear her as a pin or as a necklace!!

Fall is starting to show its beautiful, colorful face here in central Wisconsin where I live, and it will be getting more colorful in the weeks to come!  Seeing that fall is my favorite season I've put together a FALL FANTASY feature here on my blog to highlight some of the colorful "fall" items from various Etsy shops.

Due to the number of items received for this FALL FANTASY feature, I decided to break it into several segments.  A second one will be coming within the next several days.

There are signs of fall not only in nature, but also in many of the delightful shops on Etsy.  I hope you enjoy seeing the photos and paying a visit to the shops.  So now let's begin our FALL FANTASY  tour.

BLUE SWING COAT

by JASPER VISIONS

This wonderfully soft blue coat is perfect for fall or spring. It's made of a knit blend, but the fabric is so delightly fuzzy, you can't tell if it's a knit or woven fabric unless you turn it inside out to look at the wrong side.

Pumpkin Yellow iPod Cozy (handmade knitted iPod, iPhone, iPod cozy)

by ON A ROLL COZIES

A 100% Peruvian Highland wool cozy for your iPod classic or other similarly-sized item, such as an iPhone or camera. My iPod classic fits perfectly and my little Nikon snuggles in it quite nicely as well.

Needle Felted Penny Pumpkin Fruit Faerie

by ANNA BELLE ARTS

Penny is a little darling. She loves Halloween. “ It’s simply the best time of the year!” she says with her sweet little voice. She loves to take her children trick or treating and rarely leaves a trick. The real treat is to see her flitting about the costumed children, scurrying about town!
