Mini Monday with Dashery Jewelry

Today I would like to introduce Lorian. She is a long time Etsy seller from Oklahoma. She has been a seller on Etsy since August of 2006. This is what she would like you to know-

I just adore the artist community feeling of Etsy!
Hi! I'm Lorian & I love to create jewelry!

Art has always been a part of my life, but making art to wear is a more recent addiction. I love to use Sterling silver and natural gemstones in my pieces as well as copper and crystals.

I have been selling my items for a few years now. I started out how most people do- I sold to friends and family, then to family of friends and friends of family. I love being able to make custom sized bracelets and necklaces for myself, and I would love to do custom work for you too!

To keep up to date on the life of this busy jewelry artist you can always go to the Dashery Blog. You will find out all the latest in her shop and among her many Etsy friends.

One Birthday, Two Shops

Today's team member with a birthday has two shops. They are Blooming Lily and Elleabelle. Happy birthday to you from your team!

Mini Monday becomes..

This week our mini Monday feature becomes a Terrific Tuesday post and this week is about Lost and Found. Annette of Lost and Found wants you to know from her profile

I joined Etsy to have an outlet for my love of making things made from found or repurposed things. I believe in the idea that individuals can make a difference, plus I'm all about the handmade, organic, eco friendly lifestyle. The thought that I have saved a tree, or kept one less item from a landfill is exciting to me. I am intrigued by what other uses I can find for objects that would otherwise be thrown out. Quality over quantity; I am very detail oriented and thoughtful.

In the product description for this piece the artist asks

What are birds thinking about? What images do they see and store in their minds eye?

I would say that the attention she shows to quality and detail is obvious in the piece above. If you would like to learn more about this artist you can look at her blog or stop by her shop.
