Is today Your lucky day???

 

Being creative is a very personal process - whether we are more creative in the moring or evening, alone or in groups, outside or inside, we all create in our own special way.  How we sell our creations on the other hand is strangely similar.  We need a marketplace that attracts comsumers of hand-made goods, and Etsy provides us with a the perfect place.

Calling Etsy perfect may be a bit much, but I've recently achieved a milestone - 700 sales in my ArtMadeByTammy shop. So although Etsy may not be "perfect", it truly is an effective place to sell hand-made creations.

To everyone around the world who has purchased one of my pieces, Thank You!

My Blue Jay Bird in Winter Original Art Pendant Necklace was recently featured on the front page of Etsy.com

Thank you so much to Peaces of Indigo for including me in such a beautiful treasury!

 

If you haven't yet checked out Art Fire, now would be a perfect time! The latest "Featured Collection" that I created is being featured on their home page.

I found inspiration for my latest piece, the Love Knot, in hearing the news that one of my sisters recently became engaged. Not only is her fiance a wonderful man, he treats her well and they are extremely happy together. But the fact remains that he is a man. No offense intended here, I'm simply being honest -- men tend to forget things. And since anniversaries are one of the things that seem to be forgotten quite often, I created a personalized piece of jewelry for that special man in your life, as well as a complimentary, matching piece for you.

As you can see in the pictures, there is a small, smooth metal disc attached to the bracelet near the clasp with your special date permanently stamped.

I believe this is a perfect way to remind your man of your special date - in a very special way.

 

My husband was feeling creative the other day and decided to create a stop-motion video using the kids' legos.

I think it's absolutely adorable!  Leave a comment and let me know what you think!
