Eye Balls - Crochetliens

I was trying to think of another baby toy to do and I came up with these guys.  I like them a lot I think I am going to make a couple more.  My daughter LOVES these.  I was thinking about writing up a pattern too.  but I am not sure how I would explain the mouth.  You can find them in my shop www.crochetliens.etsy.com.




I crocheted this simple ball for Avery.  Thinking I will post the pattern for free on here very soon.

Featured Etsy Seller - Megan's Beaded Designs




Megan's Beaded Designs


Etsy Shop Name: Megan's Beaded Designs

Your Name: Megan (who wouldn't thought, right!?!? :-))

Age: 22

What do you make?: Pretty jewelry, patterns, hair accessories, and paintings!

How long have you been making it? 

FOREVER! Literally since before I was 5. My grandfather was into Native style beadwork, so my sister and I picked it up when we were very young.

Shop description: 

Unique beaded jewelry and accessories, perfect for showing off your individuality! All of my items are handmade, beaded by me. That means everything from my bead embroidered headbands to my peyote bracelets were created painstakingly one bead at a time. You wouldn't think so with my super low prices, but it's true! This is a shop that does NOT simply glue an already-ready applique to a metal band and call it good. I make all of my designs MYSELF.

Random fact about yourself: 

I have some of the strangest music taste ever. My favorites include (but are not limited to) Broadway musical soundtracks, and heavy metal like Metallica and Godsmack.

Featured Etsy Seller - Papersouls

Papersouls


Etsy Shop Name: Papersouls
Your Name: Jules Royce
Age: 28


What do you make?
I make polymer jewelry, mostly octopi, in bright awesome colors and clothing accessories (hats, purses) that are fun and out of the ordinary. Ever want an octoring in your fave color?

How long have you been sewing, and making polymer jewelry?

Lets see, I've been sewing since I was a kid, and when I was really small I made animals out of clay to play with my other toys. I really started selling about three years ago, with the encouragement of family and friends. I always thought my creations were kinda strange and noone else would like them but me, and boy was I wrong!


Shop description: Awesome Jewelry and Accessories for you to punk it up, rock it up or whatever you do! I make what makes me happy and hopefully it'll make you happy too!


Random fact about yourself: I'm a native Texan but I love to travel. I currently have no permanent address, and live in Norway. When I return I'll be selling/living out fo my camper in Austin, and this is just the way I like it!

Featured Etsy Seller



My first featured Etsy shop is DaVine Jewelry.    


Etsy Shop Name: DaVine Jewelry

Your Name: Danielle Vaillancourt
Age: 30

What do you make?: Jewelry

How long have you been making jewelry?

I've been making jewelry in one form or another since I was a little girl- I used to play around with beads to make my own jewelry and proudly wear it to school as a kid. I was always fascinated by my mother and grandmother's jewelry collections, i would sit for hours trying things on and inspecting them. In 4th grade my grandmother gave me a bunch of her old costume jewelry to play with and take apart to make new things with- I loved it! By the time I got to high school I started manipulating wire to create my own links, chains, and fun patterns to incorporate with all the beads I had collected over the years. When I went to RISD I came very close to being a sculpture major since I enjoyed working in 3D, but then I realized that if I majored in Jewelry & Metalsmithing I could combine that with my passion for jewelry- making tiny "sculptures" that people could wear.

Shop description: I sell jewelry handmade by me and inspired by patterns and forms found in nature. Here in New England, there is much to be inspired by, with our miles and miles of coastline, beaches, forests, and mountains. I love finding treasures and incorporating them into my work!

Random fact about yourself: For the longest time growing up I wanted to be a marine biologist.
