Mini Monday - Story Beader

Today we are showing you Storybeader of Oklahoma. This jewelry artist combines the beauty of her work with words. Every necklace comes with a haiku made specifically for each piece.

As an example the necklace above comes with this haiku-

She walked through the door
With the bright star reflecting
In her deep blue eyes.

You can follow her life as an artist and frustrated writer in the Storybeader blog. The blog shares her life in Oklahoma and her love of literature as well as spotlighting other artists.

Beyond bead work and blogging she is a generous member of the EtsyBloggers Team. You can find her on our forum threads on Etsy, active on the message board and participating in the blog carnivals. Getting to know this artist has been a plus in many lives including mine.

Ladybug strolled through
Leaves and bark before she reached
Her fav sunflower.
- Deborah Baroff, the storybeader

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.
