Love and Roses

What better way is there to say " I Love You" than a gift of roses? Belladio has a collection of rose jewelry in her etsy shop that just may be the perfect way to say I love you to that special person in your life. Please take a look at Belledio's art of roses series and the other lovely pieces in her shop. Don't forget to take a peek at Belladio's blog too.

Bella Dio

Today I am featuring the shop of Belladio who does jewelry design. This is what she has to say about her work:

"I am a SAHM and I started making jewelry years ago. My friend and I would get together and bead, while our little ones napped. Two years ago, I started playing with polymer clay and I really enjoy the opportunities this opened up to me. I slowly started adding in twisted, bent and curled wire to my designs. I am always looking to expand beyond where I am. I have been messing around with resin, soldering and vintage pieces."

Treat Yourself On Valentine's Day

Now is your chance to treat yourself on Valentine's Day. The etsy shop of A Little Brown Bird has some lovely pieces for you to consider. The two show here happen to be my personal favorites, but the shop has many items that are sure to please.

The Little Brown Bird

Hi! My name is Mary Ryan. I am an Interior Design Consultant by day and a Jewelry Artist every other waking moment.My art is not limited to any one medium. I love photography, writing, painting, singing, acting...I could go on and on. Still, my love for all things shiny keeps me happily engrossed in jewelry design. I prefer to use semiprecious stones or interesting glass beads in my work and love to pair them with sterling and .999 Fine Silver, yet I will not overlook the aesthetic value of a beautiful bead or found object simply because it is a base metal. My style is ever changing and evolving. As a result, you will find a little bit of everything in my work. I don't believe in stifling my creative energy and will try my hand at just about anything.I have a variety of collections to complement any style and price point for young girls to women. I will happily accept orders for custom sizing or a change in clasp or ear post/wire on any of my pieces. My work has been featured on-line and at local boutiques. I welcome inquiries for wholesale opportunities at boutiques and galleries. Please contact me for details.You are welcome to visit these other sites to view additional items not seen in my shop.

Gilbea

Today's feature is on etsy shop Gilbea. This is what the artist has to say about herself.

"I used to be a watercolors painter, but a few years ago I discovered silk painting, and now I'm hooked to it!!! For a few years I have been seriously working on silk fabrics, making all kind of different stuff, from silk paintings that hang from the walls to silk scarves or brooches and t-shirts.Right now I'm experimenting with new things for this next season: Spring/Summer 2008. Silk bags, shirts, headbands, and a big etcetera. Come back again in a few months to see my new creations!For more information visit my website:"
