The winning post is by user "Benny and the Jet" for picking to promote Jessica Doyle's art. Congrats for exposing us to Jessica's shop but here is the problem....you didn't leave an email or your etsy shop name! How am I going to find you? Hope you are a returning blog reader or I might have to give the cowl to another poster-hurry!!!
FAOTW-Featured Artist of the Week
Every week I tell myself that I'm going to make a new system for picking the "Featured Artists," thus making it easier on myself and every week it gets harder and harder. Our site has been up for a little over a month now and the one striking revelation I have come up with is, "There is a ton of ridiculously talented people on etsy!" This week is no different by any means, as we have two wonderful artists, in two very different fields. Oh, by the way..... one massively bad aspect of FAOTW... you're all making me look bad ;(
Haroldandjane is our first artist this week (pieces seen above) and she comes to us from Seattle WA. I've known H&J for some time now and her personality is so much more than just artistic; she is a combination of humor-passion-drive-life-love and these attributes can be seen in her work. The jewelry is alive with color, with spirit. Each piece pops out at you, as if to say, "Wear me...we'd look great together." Koolest little tidbit of info about H&J's jewelry....each piece is named after a song lyric, so check them out in our gallery and try to guess the songs.
FrenchPressKnits: Is our second featured artist this week (pieces seen above) and from the moment I saw her beautifully-fuzzy creations, I wished for winter to arrive early. Aesthetically gorgeous and functionally perfect, FPK's pieces make us all wish we had the patience to knit (or at least lie and say we can.) From slippers to scarves-mary janes to pillow cases, each one of FrenchPressKnit's designs is original in thought and construction, with a massive emphasis on professionalism. Check out her collection in our gallery and beg winter to come early.
Let's go and support these great artists by visiting their shops (HaroldandJane and FrenchPressKnits) or our gallery. Remember, the hand made revolution begins with our support and passion, so leave some comments and spread the word......who knows what great giveaway might happen....
