Blog for Etsy shop

I made a blog for the Etsy shop today, for those who would like to follow the happenings of it. http://turtandelephant.blogspot.com/

more Etsy update

For those of you who like Ryan's photos, he is beginning to sell some hand-printed copies of his work. Check them out here. He is starting with Hoarfrost.

I also made another necklace. It is made of coral colored glass beads and turquoise colored howlite on a two-tiered necklace. Another piece that I would wear myself. The listing is here.



Nearly all packaging I use to send out the items is recycled and/or reused.

Last week I decided that I would open an Etsy shop. I love Etsy. I look on there almost every day and am inspired by the items that others make. I thought I could make some as well. I have been to the craft store at least three times this week. There are too many things I like to make, I discovered, so for now the shop will be a hodge podge of home decor, pillows, necklaces, bracelets and scarves. I would like to make a few more things, but have yet to procure a sewing machine. For now it is just something fun to do with extra time...and make a little extra money. Ryan is joining me in this endeavor and will be hand-printing some of his black and white photos for the shop. For those of you who have been waiting for this moment, click here. Below are a few photos of my wares so far:





Prints of Ryan's will be selected from this set on Flickr.

I received my bowl this morning after a brisk knock on the door. I love the ridges on the bottom, like a scallop, as well as the copper blue glaze on the inside. When I hold it up to the light, it shines through in the thin parts, too. Thank you, Element Clay Studio!


Following grocery shopping and a cleaning of the apartment, we went to Western Ave Studios where there was an open house of the artist's studios there. Ryan's friend Anne was there and we came home with cake pops. It's fun to walk through the halls of an old building full of people making art. We were both sleepy when we came home, so we made some coffee. It went quite well with the cake pops.
