Today the EtsyBloggers are sharing with you the shop and blogs of Pamela Baker. The shop, Magdalene Jewels, is filled with this artists lovely designs that include necklaces, earrings and bracelets. From her shop profile she introduces her work-I started designing jewelry as a hobby and now besides selling on Etsy I have been doing many custom orders and craft fairs. I use Swarovski Crystals in all my designs, mainly because of the intricate colors which when reflected in the sunlight makes each piece unique.Beyond the jewelry designs there is a section in the shop of scarves that are knit or crocheted. If you live in parts of the US or Canada where winter seems to be hanging on much too long you will want to take a look at those.
Welcome to the world of Gallery 32. The Gallery 32 shop on Etsy if filled with images of the state where I was born, Kansas. The images you find here can be soft but stunning. I am particularly drawn to the flower images that have been manipulated into paintings. Being the dreary snowy winter that it has been so for in much of the US I thought you might enjoy the beauty of the flowers too.I have always had a passion for art. When I was a child my Grandma encouraged me by teaching me how to sew, embroider and paint watercolors. These experiences still influence my work in the form of color, shape, and line. When I went off to college I decided that painting would be my major and I graduated with a BFA from the University of Kansas.
Much of this photographer's work is documented in her blog. She is now over 300 in her 365 project and I found it fascinating to go through the images. She explains why she decided on doing this project in the shop profile as well.Lately I have been making photographs, which has always been something I enjoy doing. I decided to make an image a day so I started my '365 Project' on my blog. It is my way to share my daily thoughts and images.I have never been much into keeping a sketchbook. I find it a boring activity that doesn't work for me. However, I enjoy writing about my process on my blog and I think it has really helped me grow as an artist.
I love this image of being cozy in the blankets! I can imagine the cool morning waiting for the parade to come by. There is much more that you need to check out and I encourage you to do so. You can find Gallery 32 on Etsy here and the blog of this talented photographer here.

From the profile of her Etsy shop this Michigan based artist shares the vision behind her shop and her work-Everyday you are creating thoughts. Thoughts that are interesting and beautiful, profound and deep, silly and funny. Whatever your thought style is, they should be recorded.
CREATEaTHOUGHT's mission is to help you do just that. I provide items that fit your personal writing and recording style. If you find that you are in need of a different style I will strive to create a personalized item just for you! Each journal is created to be unique and one of a kind.
I want to be able to provide you with something that is not mass produced. You will not have to worry about someone saying "I have that same journal!"
I also sell many other fun and unique items(because I like making things, and like to try making new things at least once!) such as cards, purses, magnet, frames, prints, and many more! You can request personalized items at any time!
Check the store because I am constantly adding and updating the items!

Alpha Shopmonkey Jo is a mathematician, beadmaker, jewelry maker, card maker, quilter... I think this makes her a craft junkie, a monkey she's not in any way interested in getting off her back. Which is fortunate, since she's already a shopmonkey, and getting yourself off your back is practically like sitting up, and nobody wants that.
An occasional contributor to the shop, Junior Shopmonkey Chris is the sort of man your mothers warned you about - no no, not that kind, the other kind.
Yeah... THAT kind.
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.
What are birds thinking about? What images do they see and store in their minds eye?
