Etsy's How-Tuesday

Author jannypie Category , , , ,


http://www.etsy.com/storque/article/2... See the article on Etsy's blog: The Storque, for more information. This week Kim Hall, a teacher here at the EtsyLabs and an Etsy Seller (nottene), came by to show us her technique for dying natural fabric with organic ingredients. Kim has worked with many different dying and printing methods and we're honored to have her as an instructor! If you've always wanted to dye your own fabrics or yarn, this is a great video to get you started. If you try out this technique, make sure you take some pics and post them in our Show and Tell Flickr Pool!
Hope you enjoy this little gem from the Etsy labs!

Tuesday's item of the day from Mels Clay

Author jannypie Category , , , , , ,




Newer team member, Melanie, is an accountant by day and a polymer clay artist by night. She enjoys creating her own beads and mixing them with other materials to design unique jewelry. Her shop also includes polymer clay covered pens, recycled tins and pendants. We have personally watched the painstaking time and attention which goes into each part of her process. She textures her clay, mixes her own colors , builds her canes, reduces them and then begins slicing and arranging according to what she is working on at the moment. Even then she is still not done....baking follows as well as tedious sanding and then varnishing. It requires patience and seems to be a true labor of love!




Check out this pink chrysanthemum pattern on the tin pictured above. Doesn't it look delicate and ladylike? In truth it's actually pretty durable. The tin may be used to hold money, change, gum, candy, mints, emergency sewing kits, and any number of random trinkets. To view this unique handcrafted piece and more, please click the link below which will bring you to Mel's etsy shop. Enjoy!






Wednesday Item of the day from Kunklebaby

Author jannypie Category , , , ,


Good morning all! Today's selection is by team member Jessica of Kunklebaby. Take a gander at this adorable sushi bib for toddlers. It is handmade of 100% cotton with a snap closure. Many of you parents know that even when your wee one graduates from pureed foods, they can still make messes. Jessica has cleverly brought us a stylish and modern bib that will fit up to 4 years of age. And if you happen to be having a bad day...photos of her happy baby modeling her creations always provide a smile or two. Her shop is beginning to offer an organic line. Be sure to stop by when you need a fun, colorful and uniquely elegant children's item or gift!
