The Perfect Un-Flaw

When I hear the word flaw I want to scream!! Yes sure the word does belong to certain things like I hope the car or airplane parts don’t have flaws as this is cause for a dangerous situation. I am talking about when people look at art with a fine tooth comb and all they can see or point out are what some may call “flaws”. I am a firm believer in Un-perfection (no I didn’t spell that wrong). In Un-perfection there is no perfect or flaws just different. Your perfection may not be mine. So who is to say what’s perfect anyways. I love unexpected un-flaws that happen in glass

when I fuse such as air bubbles or an odd shape. These so called flaws give the piece

more character so in my eyes its an un-flaw. So to all you perfectionist out there instead

of looking at the negative find a positive first, it may open your eyes to a whole world you have never seen. Try some un-perfection today!

Glass And Silver Ooh La La!

I personally am a lover of all things glass and beads are no exception and that’s why I want to share some beautiful beads made by Susan Lambert of http://susanlambert.etsy.com . I love her Italian Egg beads that have silver in them, which reacts with the glass and leaves such a nice look to it. She makes a base bead and then rolls it in fine silver and adds color dots to give them the finishing touch. Susan has been designing Jewelry since 1993, selling in galleries and art shows. She also studied metal smithing for 5 years. So why not stop by Susan’s Etsy store and say hello. You can also find Susan’s blog at http://northcarolinasusan.blogspot.com/orthcarolinasusan.blogspot.com/

Fun, Whimsical and Full of Life

Is how I would describe this talented Glass Artists, Shoozles, and her latest design is just that. Shoozles Fused Glass Robot Pendants are the cutest. With handmade fused glass bodies which she makes herself and then wire wraps with sterling silver wire to add the arm, legs and head. She then gives her special touch with specialized paint to add more character and attitude to the piece.These can be worn on a chain or cord or even hang from your rear view mirror. I am always amazed how fast Shoozles comes up with new designs that are always full of life and as her motto states Shoozles makes some great “Wearable Art”. www.Shoozles.etsy.com is where you can find her and all her fine Glass Artwork. Also a proud member of http://www.etsyglass.com/ a collective of fine glass artists.

Seboh .....New to Etsy

Not just another artists but in my opinion the best Stencil Artists on Etsy. Seboh is the name of his Etsy shop where Stencil Artists Sebastian Mercado flings his masterful artwork to the world. He is based in Southern California were his creativity comes to light. He really brings pictures alive with shadows in just the right colors. He just opened his store and so far only has a few paintings to offer but don’t worry he will be adding more. Lets give him a warm welcome and lots of Etsy love. Vist his shop today

Stamp It, Sell It, Bag It

What do you get when you take an ordinary white bag and a beautifully made custom stamp? A great bag for your products and a promotional item at that. See how this plain white boring bag transforms into a great personal business tool. I got this awesome custom stamp from http://www.terbearco.etsy.com/. I can’t say enough about Terbear she really took the time to explain things to me and didn’t blow me off when I kept changing my mind. If you do festivals or craft shows this is a must. Did I mention the prices are very affordable and they all come beautifully packaged.

Monster In A Box

Ever feel like screaming but can't, let this Monster In A Box do it for you. This caged beast isn’t holding back with his wide open mouth and bulging blue eyes he is ready to go with you any where. He makes a great pet for those who have no time or don’t want to do all the extra work. The box is a two tone base metal with openings on all sides except top. The monster inside is a lampworked bead, made by me of course. Who doesnt need a Monster in a Box!
